There is a new attempt to compromise your iPhone or iPad. It attempts to load a rogue application onto your phone using a method used by developers to test their software before it is approved by the Apple App Store Process.
There may be other methods of infection that are used to install this particular malware. One possible scenario is infecting an iPhone after connecting it to a compromised or infected Windows laptop via a USB cable.
However, in order to do this, you have to help the hackers. The attempt will pop a number of dialog boxes asking for your confirmation to install an app.
What should I do?
Make sure you are running the most recent version of the operating system for your device. If you have an older device that cannot run iOS8, be sure not to just click allow.
