iFruit Malware


iFruit Fanboyz and gurlz all like to talk about how safe their systems are compared to the malware prone systems made by other companies. As most real techies know, nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is the iOS is just as open to the bad guys as other systems, if not more so.

The Flashback Trojan currently infects more than 600k Mac computers, the largest amount of Macs ever affected. As a percentage of systems affected for an OS it’s far more than any MSFT or other OS has ever had. The Trojan is spread through very malicious means and actually requires no user interaction or approval to get on your system. It’s sneaky and dangerous.

iFruit users need to be as alert as any other computer users. No system is totally safe so do what you need to do and always, I mean always, practice safe computing.
