A security firm called FireEye has discovered a new security flaw in iOS which can be exploited by a malicious app to keep track of screen taps as well as log all keystrokes. The test was conducted on a non-jailbroken iOS 7.0.4 device on which a “monitoring” application was installed. FireEye hasn’t revealed exactly how it was able to install the app on the device, given the fact that Apple has strict measures in place that safeguard its mobile devices against sideloading of apps. Its possible to do so on a jailbroken device though.
