Researchers from the security firm Lookout have discovered the iOS version of Exodus, a spyware that is often used on Android devices. The iOS version of the software has been detected in a third-party application in the market but has not yet reached the App Store's firewall. According to Lookout, the iOS version of Exodus appears when a certain 'phishing' site is entered in Italy and Turkmenistan. The software is a little more simple in the Android version. If the software is installed on a device, all call history, photos, videos, voice recordings, GPS information and location of the device can be accessed. The iOS version of the software connects with the same server as the Android version.
The Exodus attack initially used enterprise certificates signed by Apple. This allowed the attackers to download the app to their devices even though they were downloading from outside the App Store. Apple has suppressed these certificates and the attacks were suppressed. This event, however, shows that iOS devices can also be attacked by cyber attacks. The best option is to stay connected to Apple's official App Store apps.
