As the iOS does not allow apps to be installed from an unknown source, however, it is necessary that the ustilizador has done the “jailbreak” to be vulnerable. In the case of Android, a high level of ingenuity is still required to install the application on their own malignant.
The virus spreads through a message in WhatsApp. Suddenly, users are overwhelmed with the message “See this Android app created by APRA Code4HK [community of programmers who support the demonstrations] to the OCCUPY CENTRAL coordination», along with the download link. Although the message specifically cite the Android, the virus also affects an iOS unlocked.
After downloading the malware has access to user data, including links, messages and location history. The Code4HK says it has nothing to do with it. Michael Shaulov, CEO of security company Mobile Lacoon, however, believes another guilty:. The Chinese government, which would have the purpose of spying on citizens to identify protesters
“This is the first time that we see as sophisticated malware to iOS operationally be developed by a Chinese group, “says Shaulov in contact with the New York Times. It is not the first time there is a virus so for the Apple platform, but it had never happened in China
