Unbreakable iOS system being penetrated!

导读:日前，一家位于硅谷的安全公司Palo Alto Networks发现一种针对iOS系统的病毒“WireLurkerer” 正在大规模攻击苹果的手机和电脑。而其主要受影响的用户基本是中国的苹果手机用户。

It is reported that the recent WireLurkerer virus has infected over 400 Mac softwares through Maiyadi BBS for Apples. In the past 6 months, total downloads of the 467 infected softwares came up to 356104 times, with hundreds of thousands of its targeted users basically being Chinese iPhone, iPad and MAC users.

据悉，最近爆出的WireLurkerer病毒已经通过麦芽地苹果论坛感染了超过400款Mac软件。过去六个月，467款受感染软件总下载量超过356,104次。而目标受众基本上是在中国的苹果手机、iPad和电脑用户，目前估计数十万人受到影响。

Although there’s no telling whether it affects only China, it surely has broken the myth of no systematic virus for Apples.

虽然尚且不知道该病毒是不是仅爆发于中国境内，但是对于苹果以往无系统病毒的历史来说，这确是开了先例。

Within 24 hours of spotting the virus, spokesman of Apple made a quick comment that “the attack of iOS system has been identified as a virus targeting at Chinese Apple users and the app has been excluded from the app store.”

在发现苹果系统遭遇病毒攻击后不到24个小时，苹果的发言人迅速的表示：“已经意识到该程序对中国用户的苹果产品，iOS系统的攻击，并阻止了该应用程序在应用商店出现。”

WireLurkerer is the first malicious third-party app that could be installed on unrooted iOS devices in history. It’s said to be originated from a third-party app store of China.

WireLurkerer是历史上第一个，能在未越狱iOS设备上安装第三方软件的恶意软件，其源于一家中国第三方的应用程序商店。

When apps infected with WireLurkerer being installed onto iOS devices, it would collect the users’ information, including their contacts and iMessages and send them to the hacker. The security staff of Apple said that the virus is still in process of developing and updating, with its ultimate goals unidentified.

感染了WireLurkerer的应用程序被安装到iOS设备上以后，WireLurkerer会收集各种用户信息，包括联络人和iMessages，并且能向黑客发送升级请求，安全人员表示WireLurkerer无疑还在继续开发更新中，其最终目标不明确。

Towards the specific measures and solutions for WireLurkerer, Apple gives no indications.

如今面对WireLurkerer的情况，苹果尚且没有给出未来具体的操作方式或解决方案。
