A new Trojan virus is reportedly equipped to infect any iOS device.
Previously, bugs of this nature only affected jailbroken phones but Palo Alto networks say this new ‘Ace Deceiver’ malware can hack into any Apple device using the iOS operating system.
Spotted on METRO, network and security company Palo Alto said: “AceDeceiver is evidence of another relatively easy way for malware to infect non-jailbroken iOS devices.
“As a result, it’s likely we’ll see this start to affect more regions around the world, whether by these attackers or others who copy the attack technique”.
It is believed that Apple has since removed Ace Deceiver from the app store but the PCs infected prior to deleting the malware could cause the virus to spread.
