"Penguin Panic": Trojan is targeting Windows iPhone users

[Jeffrey]

The iPhone is, and will not be free software threats, but it is now much easier and probably more lucrative, tackling an operating system like Windows well established. Particularly media, the iPhone remains a vehicle of choice to convey an attack, as evidenced by a warning recently launched by Sophos: a new spam campaign aimed at the spread of a type of malware Trojan (or Trojan) takes effect for holders of the target iPhone, with promises of free download of the PC version of a game iPhone, Penguin Panic.

We know, hackers are always particularly quick to follow suit new trends, and the iPhone could not decently escape their appetite! Under cover to propose the installation costs of a game originally designed for the iPhone, so they are circulating a trojan identified as the "agent HNY. "It seems that hackers after the iPhone phenomenon and use it as a springboard to infect innocent users. Many people may have played Penguin Panic on their iPhone or other portable device, and welcome to install on their Windows desktop, "said Sophos.

Although the campaign appears for now that the English touch via letters with titles like "iPhone's most popular game! "Should be treated with some caution messages offering the free download of an application of this type.

This case was now before sometime also. During a time there was a puzzle game quite attractive because of its graphics was very well done. Unfortunately for those who all downloaded on their iphone had a same kind of malware. The application was infected by a program to steal the list of contacts of the person and then spam!

The worst is that Apple is not aware of anything and proposed a good time for free download this application which is a scandal.
