Malware Jumps Apple's Garden Wall

Developers who unknowingly used a malicious tool to code their programs uploaded hundreds of malware-infected apps to the iTunes App Store, China-based iOS developers reportedly discovered last week. Security researchers around the world have analyzed it. Called "XcodeGhost," the malware is hidden in an unauthorized version of a program Apple distributes to create iOS apps. "XcodeGhost is an example of compiler malware," said David Richardson, iOS product manager for Lookout Mobile Security.
