XCSSET

XCSSET malware is a type of malware that was discovered in August 2020 that specifically targets iOS devices, such as iPhones and iPads. It is considered to be one of the most sophisticated malware that has been found on iOS devices.
This malware is spread through malicious websites, which deliver a payload that is disguised as a legitimate app. Once a user installs the app, the malware is able to take control of the device and perform a variety of malicious actions. These actions include:

• Stealing sensitive information, such as login credentials and financial data
• Taking screenshots of the device and sending them to the attacker
• Recording audio and video from the device's microphone and camera
• Encrypting files on the device and demanding payment for the decryption key
• Injecting malicious code into legitimate apps, such as Safari and Chrome, in order to steal login credentials and other sensitive data

The malware also has the ability to spread to other iOS devices through the AirDrop feature, which allows users to share files wirelessly with other nearby devices.

XCSSET malware is particularly concerning as it has the ability to evade detection by Apple's built-in security measures and it is able to perform a wide range of malicious actions. It is important to be cautious when downloading apps and to stick to reputable app stores. Additionally, using a reputable antivirus software and regularly scanning your devices to detect any malware.

It's also important to keep your iOS software updated as Apple has release patches to fix the vulnerabilities that the malware is exploiting.
