A charger capable of installing malware onto your iPhone is now available.
Due to its popularity, the iPhone is subject of several studies and passions in
terms of features, gadgets, security and so on. Today, we talk about a charger
capable of installing malware onto your
iPhone. In fact a team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have put together a prototype charger capable of installing malware onto an iPhone.
The researchers explain:
"Despite the plethora of defense mechanisms in iOS, we successfully injected arbitrary software into current-generation Apple devices running the latest operating system (OS) software... All users are affected, as our approach requires neither a jailbroken device nor user interaction.”
The researchers claim that charger can compromise iOS in under a minute, and that the malware infection is persistent and tough to spot.
