Hackers have found a new way to breach the security of iOS devices, allowing them to spy on users through their keyboards. Certo Software has released a report detailing how cybercriminals are evading Apple's strict security measures to steal personal information. The hackers install a third-party keyboard with a keylogger into iPhones, disguising it as a small app. They use Apple's TestFlight tool for app developers to bypass security checks, hoping that users will download these apps and unwittingly provide their own information. TestFlight is a popular developer tool that allows developers to upload unfinished versions of apps and share them with testers. However, there are security concerns with TestFlight, as it shares certain personal information with developers. Hackers use TestFlight to install a custom keyboard with a keylogger on users' iPhones, making it difficult to detect if the keyboard has been compromised. To protect against keyboard spying attacks, users should only download apps from trusted sources, be cautious when using TestFlight, regularly check and delete suspicious keyboards, update iOS and install security patches, and use antivirus software on their devices. If a user has already fallen victim to a keyboard spying attack, they should change their passwords, monitor their accounts, contact their bank and credit card companies, alert their contacts, and consider restoring their device to factory settings. They can also use identity theft protection services to monitor and prevent unauthorized use of their personal information. It is important for users to be vigilant in protecting their devices and personal information from security breaches.
