Developed by Felix Krause discovered a new way to steal data of users of iOS, which is demonstrated with the help of phishing, reports Rus.Media. Detailed explanation he published in his blog.

He noted that attackers can quite easily steal your password from Apple ID, and get access to the account. For this you need to forge a special window that typically appears on iOS if you want to enter a password. In particular, when you need to make purchases and to access iCloud and Game Center.

Krause also notes that the emergence of system fields for data entry, including within apps, the ability to easily perpetrate their thefts.

“I decided not to open a weekend pop-up messages, however, note that this is less than 30 lines of code, and virtually any iOS developer can easily create your own phishing window,” he said.

According to the developer, the difference between a real and a fake window is so small that it is easy to miss. To protect yourself, he advises to leave the program as soon as it starts to request the data. If the window was fake, it will disappear. And if I stay it is a real system.
