Many Popular iOS Apps got infected by XcodeGhost Malware including WeChat

XcodeGhost Malware has the ability to modify Xcode IDE to infect iOS apps. It has infected so many popular apps including WeChat. This Malware has entered Apple’s app store.

XcodeGhost Malware collects information from the device, and then upload that to command and control (C2) server. It can prompt to put you iCloud or other account password to get access.

It’s not just social media app, but Banking, stock trading, SNS, mobile carrier apps also got infected. You can understand the consequence when any Banking app gets infected.

This all started because of the infected Xcode files that many people download from third party servers. In China downloading files from Apple’s server is not too fast. So they look for other options, and end up downloading infected files.

Some security companies are working with Apple to resolve the issue, but it make take some time.
