YiSpecter malware was revealed to the whole world yesterday after 10 months of availability on websites in Asia, being one of the most dangerous types of malware discovered so far, affecting both jailbroken and non-jailbroken terminals.
Company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), she was aware of the existence YiSpecter malware and last night he said that he has blocked it since iOS 8.4 for users all over the world along with infected applications and developer accounts that were used with him to attack users.
Those from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), I argue that the only people who are still vulnerable are the front YiSpecter malware are those running iOS 8.4 or an older version of the operating system because starting with iOS 8.4 the software is no longer a problem for normal users.
This issue only affects users on older versions of iOS who have also downloaded malware from untrusted sources. We addressed this specific issue in iOS 8.4 and we have also blocked the identified apps that distribute this malware. We encourage customers to stay current with the latest version of iOS for the latest security updates. We also encourage them to only download from trusted sources like the App Store and pay attention to any warnings as they download apps.
In this idea, the Apple company says that all those who want to keep their terminals safe must update to the latest version of iOS, otherwise they risk being infected by the YiSpecter malware if the software ever comes out of Asia to attack other geographical areas.
Of course, everything is also related to the jailbreak that is available for iOS 8.4 and older versions of the operating system, so you will have to choose between keeping your terminals protected and using jailbreak in iOS 8.4 or an older version of iOS.
