All of those links 404s for me. Can you explain how the malware works? You are aware that it's not the app store that protects you, but the sandboxing? Are these impersonation vectors, ie phishing?

I didn’t notice that Hacker News had truncated the URLs for display. You can get to the articles by following the links in the original comment.

Both protect you.

It’s a variety of things. Some use accessibility hooks to act as key loggers. Some seem to use exploits. Some are phishing by impersonating other apps.
