The internet security firm, Palo Alto Networks reports that approximately 39 applications have been infected with the malicious software. It’s also hard for developers to detect malware like XcodeGhost because it’s deeply hidden.
This is how malware was able to get into the App store.
Analysis of infected apps by security researchers appears to be revealing a mix of good and bad news … In the FAQ, the company says iCloud and personal information on apps should be safe, since the malicious code was incapable of finding it.
Apple also said it is working to make it faster for developers in China to download authentic Xcode instead of turning to other versions that could potentially be compromised.
Anywhere from 25 to 50 applications are being removed from Apple Inc.’s App Store after it was discovered they contained malicious code.
