Malware targeting Apple’s mobile operating system is the focus. It encompasses various malicious software types, including viruses, trojans, and spyware, that specifically aim to compromise the security and functionality of iPhones and iPads. While generally perceived as secure, iOS devices are not entirely immune to such threats.
Understanding the nature and potential impact of these threats is crucial for maintaining device security and protecting personal data. Historically, the closed ecosystem and rigorous app review process of iOS have provided a significant level of protection. However, as the operating system evolves and becomes more widely used, it also becomes a more attractive target for malicious actors seeking to exploit vulnerabilities and circumvent security measures.
