Quick Heal: IoT and iOS the new targets of malware

High profile targeted attacks on devices running Apple's iOS and creative Internet of Things (IoT) attacks are on the hacking agenda, according to the latest quarterly threat report from security provider, Quick Heal.
In its third quarter threat report [PDF], Quick Heal predicts iOS will become the new target for Android malware authors and hackers.
"It is expected that Android malware will soon be altered to affect iOS users as well, and jailbroken iOS devices will be the first wave of targets for these attacks," Quick Heal said.
"Recently, the "XcodeGhost" malware was found on the Apple App Store and this is just the beginning of such attacks."
In September, it was found that at least 39 apps installed by several hundred million iPad and iPhone owners included malware.
