We have created a proof-of-concept "monitoring" app on non-jailbroken iOS 7.0.x devices. The security advantage of the touch screen is that the screen is basically one giant undifferentiated button. The flaw is an advanced vulnerability for iPhone because previously "keylogger" malware could only track what you type on an actual keyboard. When you listen to iTunes or Pandora, for instance, the music plays in the background, allowing you to continue surfing the web or checking Facebook without interrupting the songs.īut FireEye says that while an app runs in the background it can monitor what you're doing on the phone, including tracking what you type onto the touchscreen. The flaw takes advantage of the way iPhone lets certain apps run in the "background" while you're doing other things.
