Security-SuperGAU für alle Nutzer von iPhones und iPads: Experten haben eine Lücke in iOS-Apps entdeckt, die es erlaubt, die komplette Kommunikation über fremde Server umzuleiten. Tausende Apps sollen betroffen sein.

Über HTTP Request Hijacking sollen sich Hacker in iOS-Apps einschleichen und so den Datentraffic über eigene Server umleiten können. Nach erfolgreichem Angriff soll die Umleitung dann permanent aktiv sein.

===> Einzige Abhilfe schafft ein Update oder eine Neuinstallation der App. <===

Call it Invasion of the iPhone Snatchers: a new FinFisher-based spyware is built to infect iPhones and iPads (and Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone gadgets too) in order to take over the device completely — all unbeknownst to the user.

The smartphones and tablets will innocently appear to be themselves, but in reality the mobile malware is working in the background to track the device’s location, monitor activity and intercept communications including emails, voice calls and text messages.

Gust MEES: in Education we use Internet for e-Learning + m-Learning and also we embrace "Bring Your Own Device" (Twitter Hashtag = #BYOD), so we need to know also about the dangers, risks and threats with it! That's our responsibility against our learners (students) and we need to learn the basics of IT-Security and share our knowledge and help our learners when security problems occur ;)
