We have all heard of Malware on computers but not iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Well that’s not the case anymore. Security researcher Stefan Esser (via ArsTechnica) has discovered an issue which was reported on Reddit in causing crashes on users jailbroken devices is actually a piece of malware used to capture Apple ID’s and passwords from infected devices. At this time, developers are unsure how the malware was inserted in iOS and are stating the only sure fire way to be certain you are clear of any other malware is full restore. This means you will lose the iOS 7 jailbreak which we don’t want to do. Try the methods below and stay close to our site for updates on the problem.
How do you know if your device is infected? A couple clues you could be infected is does your device seem to crash on a regular basis. Second, have you used pirated sources to install pirated apps or tweaks. Check out our video below for step by step instructions. Want to know what Saurik recommends click here.
Follow the instructions below:
1. Open iFile start at the root
2. follow the location here
/Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries
3. Once inside the DynamicLibraries file search through the files for NoFlod.dy.lib
4. If you have the file NoFlod.dy.lib on your device this means you have been infected. You will need to remove the file by deleting it using iFile
5. Reboot
Another important thing to do is Change your Apple ID Password immediately. Users who don’t find the file should still take preventative measures and change their Apple ID password too.
