According to Palo Alto Networks, WireLurker, running on an OS X system, can install either downloaded third-party applications or automatically generate malicious applications onto a USB-connected iOS device, regardless of whether it is jailbroken.

In short, the initial WireLurker infection comes from a third-party Mac OS X app store (in this case, the Chinese Maiyadi app store). Once you download and install an infected app onto your OS X machine, that’s where the fun begins. If you then plug an iOS device into an infected OS X machine, WireLurker installs itself on the iOS device. By using iOS’s enterprise provisioning system — a method usually reserved for companies to side-load apps directly onto corporate iOS devices — WireLurker can even infect non-jailbroken devices.

WireLurker monitors any iOS device connected via USB with an infected OS X computer and installs downloaded third-party applications or automatically generated malicious applications onto the device, regardless of whether it is jailbroken. This is the reason we call it “wire lurker”. Researchers have demonstrated similar methods to attack non-jailbroken devices before; however, this malware combines a number of techniques to successfully realize a new brand of threat to all iOS devices.

One of the bugs fixed in iOS and Apple TV was first reported a year ago and fixed in OS X in May of this year. Apple has released new versions of iOS, OS X, Safari and Apple TV, and disclosed the vulnerabilities fixed in those new versions. A total of 60 unique vulnerabilities are addressed in the products. ===> As is common with Apple, some of the vulnerabilities are quite old. <=== iOS 7.1.2 fixes 44 vulnerabilities in the previous version. These include two lock screen bugs and two which could allow bypass of Find My iPhone and Activation Lock, the new anti-theft measures. The new version also adds encryption of attachments in the Mail app, a problem first reported two months ago. The usual long list of WebKit bugs is fixed and the list of trusted root certificates was updated. Learn more: - http://www.scoop.it/t/apple-mac-ios4-ipad-iphone-and-in-security

Beyond Flashback, research has shown that Macs are carrying malware unbeknownst to users. A security scan of 100,000 Macs found 3 percent infected with Mac-capable malware, according to anti-virus vendor Sophos. When Windows malware was included, one in five Macs were found to be harboring some type of malware.
While the Mac has been the primary target, hackers are taking notice of iOS. This month, Kaspersky Lab reported finding an iOS Trojan that uploaded a user's address book to a remote server. Spam messages with a URL to the application, called "Find and Call," were sent from the server to all the users' contacts.
For years hackers focused on Microsoft Windows PCs instead of Apple products, which had a fraction of the market share. Today,

Seinen Ursprung hat der Trojaner wohl in China, die Entdecker berichten, dass anfangs über 400 Apps im Maiyadi App Store, einem alternativen Appstore für OS X, infiziert wurden. Diese Anwendungen greifen dann die iPhones und iPads der Opfer an. Da die betroffenen Apps bislang über 350.000 Mal heruntergeladen wurden, ist die Zahl der theoretisch infizierten Apple-Geräte entsprechend groß.

The tech giant fixes a security problem in iOS that affected encrypted connections. Apple on Friday released the latest update of its mobile operating system. It's of note because it fixes an SSL connection issue, an important encryption vulnerability. SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is one of the most basic forms of encrypting Internet traffic. Without it, almost anybody can see what you're doing online. According to Apple's fulldescription of the update, the software previously had problems validating the authenticity of the connection, and the software fix restores steps that were missing in the validation process.

In iOS7 this can be done even when the phone is locked with a passcode, as the voice-activated assistant Siri can be instructed to carry out the task.
The other flaw is potentially even more serious - allowing users' email and social networking accounts to be hijacked even when the user has locked and password-protected their phone.

Eine Schwachstelle im Apple-Betriebssystem iOS könnte dazu führen, dass Kurznachrichten an die falsche Nummer geschickt werden.

So wäre es möglich, Kurznachrichten im PDU-Format zu verfassen, deren Zieladresse sich über einen editierbaren Abschnitt namens PDU (Protocol Description Unit) ändern ließe. Antwortet der Nutzer auf eine solche SMS, dann könnte die Antwort nicht an den ehemaligen Absender, sondern an ein fremdes Smartphone geschickt werden.
