AdThief' Chinese Malware Infects Over 75,000 Jailbroken iOS devices

If you have jailbroken your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and have downloaded pirated tweaks from pirated repositories, then you may be infected by “AdThief” malware, a Chinese malware that is now installed on more than 75,000 iPhone devices.

According to a recent research paper published on Virus Bulletin by the Security Researcher Axelle Apvrille, the malware, also known as "spad," was first discovered by security researcher Claud Xiao in March this year.

Till now, AdThief aka Spad malware has hijacked an estimated 22 million advertisements and stealing revenue from developers on the iOS jailbreak community, Axelle Apvrille says.

 

The malware allegedly infects iOS jailbroken devices by disguising itself as Cydia Substrate extension, presents only on jailbroken Apple devices, when a malware infected Cydia package is downloaded and installed by the unsuspecting user.

Once installed, the malware modifies certain advertisements displayed on your iOS devices in an effort to redirect all the revenues to malware developer. In short, if you download or install a free ad-supported iOS app from the App Store, all of the cash generated by that app goes to the cyber criminal behind AdThief rather than the app’s developer.

 

"In other words, each time you view or click an ad on an infected device, the corresponding revenue goes to the attacker, and not to the developer or the legitimate affiliate," Apvrille said. "[AdThief] hooks various advertisement functions and modifies the developer ID (promotion ID) to match that of the attacker."

 

Adthief has targeted advertisements from 15 popular mobile advertising networks, including Google’s AdMob and Mobile Ads, AdWhirl, MdotM, and MobClick, four of which were based in the US, two in India and the remainder in China.

The security researcher was able to identify the targets because the hacker mistakenly forgot to remove identifying information from the code. Further investigation allowed Apvrille to identify the coder who ran a blog providing details of various Android hacks, a Github and inactive Twitter account. Researcher located a Chinese vxer Rover 12421 who admitted writing the AdThief code but denied propagating it.

According to the researcher, the number of infected devices by the malware is small if compared to the figure of iOS devices in use, attackers likely generated significant revenue with an estimated 22 million advertisements hijacked.

The most important thing about this particular hack is that there is no way to find out if your device is infected by AdThief malware, because it runs in the background and is almost impossible to detect. Users of unmodified iOS devices need not to worry as they are safe from this malware infection.

Users of jailbroken Apple iOS devices are recommended to avoid downloads from untrusted repositories. Always be careful about adding new sources, and also be suspicious of those sources that promise pirated downloads of paid apps or tweaks.

 

How to Jailbreak iOS 7.1-7.1.x with Pangu 1.2.1 (Updated for Jailbreak Issues)

Pangu jailbreak for iOS 7.x has been updated to 1.2.1 for Windows with a few bug fixes. If you haven’t jailbroken your iPhone or are facing issues with a jailbroken iPhone, here’s your chance to jailbreak/re-jailbreak with the latest version of Pangu.

The new update comes almost right after Pangu v1.2 came out about a few days back. Both 1.2 and this one have minor changes but an important one if you’ve been having problems with boot or anything else on your iPhone.

Jailbreaking using Pangu is almost as easy as it was with evasi0n, the tool that we used to jailbreak iOS 7 and 7.0.x with.


How to Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad with Pangu 1.2.1

 Step #1. Download Pangu 1.2.1 (for Windows at the moment)

Step #2. Make sure your iPhone doesn’t have a passcode.

Step #3. Change the date of your iPhone to something earlier than June 1, 2014.

Step #4. Now, connect your iPhone and run Pangu 1.2.1.

Step #5. Click on “Jailbreak” to initiate the process.

Step #6. Now, your iPhone will possibly do a reboot and you should see the Pangu icon on the homescreen. When you’re prompted to tap on it, do so.

Step #7. The jailbreak process will continue for a little while and your iPhone should go into a reboot again. Once the jailbreak finishes, you should see Cydia up on the homescreen.

Pangu was a surprising release this year and a welcome one at that. The initial tool from evad3rs could jailbreak devices running on iOS 7 and 7.0.x. When Apple released iOS 7.1, some patch was fixed and evasi0n couldn’t be used to jailbreak iOS 7.1.

Apple followed iOS 7.1 with other minor updates (resulting in iOS 7.1.1 and 7.1.2).

Pangu can jailbreak all iOS devices that run iOS 7.x (this includes iOS 7.1, 7.1.1, 7.1.2).

Pangu hasn’t been very hassle-free though. We’ve run into boot-loop issues here when we tried to jailbreak an iPhone running iOS 7.1. Most old iPhones do face a few problems when you jailbreak using Pangu but then a couple of rejailbreaks later, everything works fine.
Pangu 1.2 and 1.2.1 try to fix these little issues and quicks.

Best Cydia Sources/Repos of 2014 for iOS 7.x Tweaks and Mods

The best way to discover cool Cydia tweaks, themes, mods and get troubleshooting help is through the community. The jailbreak community is spread over a vast area, with some really awesome forums being hosted by popular websites.
If you’re looking to jailbreak your iPhone/iPad, there’s  Pangu for IOS 7.x . Here’s a list of the most popular and most useful iOS 7 Cydia repos / sources of 2014.

Best Cydia Sources/Repos for iOS 7.x
Repo: BigBoss
Source: http://apt.thebigboss.org/mobileweb/index.php

BigBoss is the single largest source of most popular tweaks. You’ll find most of the popular iOS 7 tweaks showing up on BigBoss. Developers submit their tweaks here to reach a wide audience. The tweaks in BigBoss are usually checked for inconsistencies etc. This comes as a default repo with Cydia but you can remove it. Well, removing it doesn’t make any sense though.

Repo: ModMyi
Source: http://apt.modmyi.com/
Right next to BigBoss, it’s ModMyi (although some folks would argue the opposite). ModMyi hosts a lot of tweaks too, many of them insanely popular. ModMyi also comes with a lot of mods too although it would be less interesting than the tweaks themselves.

Repo: Rpetri.ch
Source: http://rpetri.ch/repo/
Ryan Petrich is a lead developer when it comes to intelligent, smart and ingenious tweaks. He is the guy behind tweaks like Activator, DisplayRecorder, BrowserChooser. We hear he’s got a lot of new stuff on the works for iOS 7 and it would be pretty interesting to test them out. This is a must-have repo for everyone interested in Cydia tweaks.

Repo: iSpazio
Source: http://repo.ispazio.net
iSpazio is a good source for tweaks, mods and other things. As the community develops compatibility and stability for iOS 7 tweaks, I expect iSpazio to feature new tweaks and mods that would work on iOS 7 devices.

Rogue Repos

Besides the genuine ones, there are also other repos which feature cracked versions of the tweaks. It’s piracy and we don’t support it. But in certain cases like HackYouriPhone, we’ve had the chance to download some interesting tweaks and mods that are not available elsewhere. Proceed with caution.

Timeline of how the jailbreak happened:
In March, Apple released iOS 7.1 in which Evasi0n7 untethered jailbreaking tool, as expected, was patched by the Cupertino-based company.
Later in the same month, Winocm posted a video on YouTube demonstrating iOS 7.1 untethered boot on an A4-based iPhone 4. No time frame was given for its release. This was immediately followed by iH8sn0w who claimed on Twitter that his iPhone 4s is jailbroken on iOS 7.1. But details, as usual, were scarce, and it was unknown on when the actual jailbreak will be made available to the public.
iOS 7.1.1 was released in April. In May, i0n1c, Winocm and Yeongjin all managed to jailbreak iOS 7.1.1 independently. i0n1c’s one was called Cyberelevat0r. There was still no word on public ETA from any of them.

 In June, out of no where, a team of Chinese developers released Pangu iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak which worked on all devices.

i0n1c claimed that the exploits used in Pangu jailbreak were actually stolen from him from folks who took one of his training classes early in the year.

On June 30th, Apple released a bug fix iOS 7.1.2 update which didn’t patched the exploits used in Pangu jailbreak. The developers behind Pangu updated the software for both Windows and Mac with full support for iOS 7.1.2 untethered jailbreak on all the iOS devices.
