Security experts have discovered what is claimed to be the first ever piece of malware to be found in the Apple App Store (http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/359898/20120705/first-ios-malware-discover-find-call.htm). While Android is well known for malware, Apple has prided itself on being free from malicious apps ... until now. The app steals your contact data and uploads it to a remote server before sending spam SMS messages to all your contacts, but the messages look like they are coming from you.
