Be Careful, PDF files on the iPhone and iPad there is Malware



Malware is a malicious code that is contaminating the cell phone application that makes you do something that is not supposed to do, like stealing your personal data.

A website can also be contaminated by malware, most contaminating a web browser on a PC. But this time the attention of cybercriminals and hackers is a mobile browser, this is because many people store personal data within the phone.

Recently, ReadWriteWeb reported that the German government issued a warning about some versions of Apple's IOS operating system at risk of malicious mobile code via PDF File.

The iPhone and iPad users who download the PDF File risky accessed by cybercriminals to steal confidential information. The most worrying thing is when businesses, agencies, or government target cybercriminals and hackers, because the need is their email address, then do a little social engineering, and they can access the entrance.

Hackers will be in action when you go to the website and open a PDF file that has been contaminated by malware, then hackers will easily take control of your IOS device (IOS affects from 3.1.2 onwards).

In order for the iPhone and iPad you less susceptible to malware is to avoid opening the PDF file from an untrusted source. Or by downloading the iPhone jailbreak and install applications that will give warning when you open a PDF file that can harm your iPhone.
