App Store Malware Scare

http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/214601-the-ios-app-store-has-been-hit-with-its-first-major-malware-scare

The App Store is under attack for the first time in it's history. Often, android has been the target of these attacks, but now Apple is feeling the full effect. Apple is currently taking actions to remove the threat, but it is still very real. Apple has discovered that over 50 apps are currently effected. This malware is called Xcodeghost. This very dangerous piece of malware gives the hackers entire access to any device that is effected by it. Apple has notified the effected apps, and they are re-working the framework of these apps in order to protect against this malware. Luckily, if you uninstall the app with the malware, the malware is also deleted. Apple may have gotten too comfortable over the years with so little attacks, but now they are paying dearly for it.
