Researchers recently found a piece of iOS malware called XcodeGhost that has been embedded into a number of applications in the Apple App Store, without the app developers’ knowledge. These unsuspecting apps include popular apps such as WeChat and CamCard. What can XcodeGhost do? XcodeGhost is a piece of malware that can steal data and potentially trick people into providing their personally identifiable information. The XcodeGhost creators were able to repackage a tool used by legitimate iOS and OSX developers to create apps. When those developers created their apps using this tampered-with tool, they unknowingly inserted malware into their applications. The malware made it into several applications that were live in the Apple App Store. Does Lookout protect me?
