And those folks have other risks.Įxpensive malware? There have been million dollar bug bounties offered for iOS malware. And add-on anti-malware won’t help against that stuff. This means political dissidents, political activists, investigative reporters, and those with access to classified or sensitive or large-scale financial data. Unlike the market for Windows, iOS malware is targeted at specific folks. There is some malware available for iOS and iPadOS, but it’s only rarely encountered, and it’s very expensive. Getting apps onto the iPhone or iPad involves downloading from the app store, or using Xcode or otherwise side-loading locally, and all but the app store is rarely encountered. Those interfaces are the same sorts of interfaces that malware wants and needs, too. Not malware.Īpple scans app submissions, and blocks the interfaces that anti-malware would need to use. That’s anti-malware that has been selling your data. Some of it has uploaded and sold all of your activity.
More than a little of the anti-malware around is seemingly itself malware, too. Any add-on anti-malware package is indistinguishable from malware, and the internal mechanisms and internal security of iOS and iPadOS block that access.
