AceDeceiver

AceDeceiver malware is a type of malware that targets iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads. It was first discovered in 2015 by the cyber security company "Palo Alto Networks". The malware is spread through a technique called "FairPlay Man-in-the-Middle" (MitM), which allows attackers to install malicious apps on non-jailbroken iOS devices.

The malware is spread through a three-step process:

1. The attacker creates a malicious app that is disguised as a legitimate app and uploads it to a third-party app store.
2. The victim is prompted to download the app from the third-party app store.
3. Once the app is installed, the malware is able to take control of the device and perform a wide range of malicious actions, such as steal personal information, display unwanted ads, and download additional malware.

The AceDeceiver malware is particularly concerning because it is able to bypass Apple's FairPlay digital rights management (DRM) technology, which is designed to prevent the installation of malicious apps on iOS devices. Additionally, the malware is able to persist on the device even after it is rebooted, which makes it difficult to remove.
