New iPhone Security Alert: ‘iPhone Only’ Krampus-3PC Malware Campaign Confirmed

[dhruv2193]

There is no doubt that when it comes to security, the iPhone is a pretty good choice of smartphone. That's probably why so many infosecurity professionals, especially ethical hackers and security researchers, use one themselves. However, just because the iPhone runs a tight ship from the security perspective, that doesn't mean that users are immune from attacks. Recent bugs that could allow an attacker to lock you out of your iPhone, vulnerabilities that could effectively brick the iPhone with a malicious iMessageand even security exploits present on a brand new iPhone 11 all prove that. Sure, there's no doubting that the iPhone is less prone to the kind of shocking Android malware attacks we are so used to reading about. This doesn't mean that iPhone users can afford to get complacent, though. It has been thought for the longest time that threat actors were producing malware variants specifically coded for iOS. Now one totally iPhone specific malware campaign has been spotted being actively exploited in the wild.
