If you are one of the lucky individuals that recently received an email for “iPad Software Update” which sends you to a legitimate looking iTunes download page, it isn’t advised for you to update. If you were one of the lucky individuals and followed the link you might regret it.
It seems as though those nasty mustache twiddling villainous scammers out there have begun distributing electronic-mail that is specifically crafted in order to make iPad owner think they are getting a nifty update.
In all actuality what you will end up downloading is “Backdoor.Bifrose.AADY” which is a neat little malware that will make itself cozy in your explorer.exe and then opens a back door that lets all the above mentioned mustache twiddling villainous scammers control your device whenever they so desire. BitDefender also informs us that it will also attempt to read all your serial numbers, and passwords.
