The Wirelurker threat to iOS devices
Takeaway: Wirelurker malware hit iOS devices earlier this month. Find out what happened, what Apple did about it, and what to be aware of.
It’s simply a fact of life nowadays that every operating system, application or possibly even hardware component could be subject to vulnerabilities and security threats, whether known or unknown. Apple’s turn on the merry-go-round came up last week thanks to an outburst of malware called Wirelurker.

I’m sure many of us have taken advantage of free public charging stations; battery requirements such as while on coast-to-coast flights with layovers pretty much demand it. With that in mind, I’ve been evaluating Charge Defense’s Juice-Jack Defender, which I recently purchased.
Juice-Jack defender protects your device from unwanted access while charging, which makes it especially handy in public locations. There is a standard version (charges at 500mA or milliamp) and a turbo version which charges devices faster (up to 1 amp). I purchased the turbo version and can definitely state that it resuscitates my devices more rapidly than a standard power adapter.
