They find a Trojan horse inside a tweak

A threat was found within a tweak from the official repository called Modmyi. This should alarm all jailbreak advocates who boast about installing official tweaks and guaranteeing the security of their devices. Find out what this Trojan does and how to easily remove it.

Jailbreaking is once again a hot topic, with discussions about its legality, whether it puts our data at risk, and whether it slows down devices being a daily occurrence among users. Today, those who oppose this method of opening our devices to third parties have a compelling reason. A tweak, apparently containing a hidden Trojan, was found in an official repository (ModMyi). Its name is "Lock Saver Free . "

What causes this threat?

If you have it installed, rest assured that it's not, at least for now, a serious threat . It's not interested in your data, nor in destroying your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. What was discovered in this tweak is that it replaces the ads in some apps with ads from the developer itself, generating extra revenue for the creator of this add-on.

How to fix it?

The first thing you should do is Verify that you do not have this tweak installedIf it's not on your device, then you're safe. If it is, you must first remove it from your iDevice. This won't be enough, as ad redirection will remain active. To eliminate it completely You'll need to use a program that allows you to access your device's internal folders. For this, you can use (for example) iFunbox.
You need to head to the route "/ Library / MobileSubstrate / DynamicLibraries /" and delete the files called “Service.dylib” y “Service.plist”.
Finally, you need to repair the directory permissions. If you've had the tweak, the number will be "777"Once repaired, it will become "755".
This should be enough to be safe. A minor inconvenience for users who only install from official repositories. Those in charge of approving tweaks should be more vigilant next time.
