New iOS flaw allows malicious apps to record touch screen presses
2014-02-25 14:17:13| InfoWorld: Top News
Security researchers identified a vulnerability in iOS that allows apps to record all touch screen and button presses while running in the background on non-jailbroken devices. Since the touch screen is the primary input interface on an iOS device, this attack is the equivalent of keylogging. An attacker could use the captured touch data -- X and Y axes coordinates -- to determine what characters victims inputted using the on-screen keyboard.
