It usually starts with xcode injecting malware, since the building process is so opaque and undocumented, they get away with it.
- joshstrange 5y ago> It usually starts with xcode injecting malware That happened once, it's not like every few months or year where hear of a new instance of something like that and it's still not reaching outside itself into other apps as far as I know. So yeah, it could steal the banking login info of the banking app it managed to get injected into but it's not like "iFart" can reach in and grab your bank creds.
- realusername 5y agoThat issue is worse than some "iFart" app since you are getting a regular app, from a regular vendor.
- joshstrange 5y agoNo doubt, I'm not downplaying the severity of the xcode inject issue. I'm just saying it has only happened once before that we know of and it still isn't a "breakout"/"escape"-type exploit that we see so often in Android-land.
- realusername 5y agoI can't recall a sandbox breakout happening on Android for a very long time and this malware isn't breaking out either.
