The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team issued an alert today for a vulnerability on Apple iOS devices (iPhones, iPads) that has the potential to affect many users.  The attack, called “Masque Attack”,  allows an attacker to substitute malware for a legitimate iOS app.  Basically, the attack compromises a website you may visit from your phone or tablet and then pops up a window asking you to install an app to more easily use the site.  If you chose to install the app, it replaces the real app with a fake one that may actually work, but also steals your credentials and sends them to the attacker. 

In this edition of the Common IT Questions blog series, we discuss an enhanced function of the iPhone.  Smart phones have become an everyday fixture in the office these days.  Business owners will surely have more questions on how to best use their features to increase business productivity.
