A couple of days ago, I wrote about the threat posed by Xcode Ghost and the fact that this slipped through Apple’s code review process. It now appears that Apple has added an XcodeGhost question and answer page to its Chinese website today that explains what the malware is, how some users may be affected and next steps the company is taking to ensure that developers and end users alike are protected against malicious software going forward.
That’s good and all. But it really concerns me that this happened in the first place. Hopefully the steps that Apple has taken will ensure that this never happens again.
