As writers, we all have common mistakes we make, this is one man who cannot stand it.

You can't necessarily use this for production use in a business, but you can use it for "Testing purposes". I typicall...

After reading more about it, I thought it was pretty incredible how the attackers had pulled this off. As the name might imply, the malware was not loaded onto iOS devices because the iOS devices were directly hacked, but rather it was the Xcode versions used by the developers of legitimate apps that were hacked! Basically, some devs were using hacked Xcod...
