There is yet another curious case regarding Apple iPhone apps – apps go missing on the iTunes store every now and then. No, this is not about apps that are removed or banished from the store, but existing apps that are not listed or visible when searched for using the App store search feature.

If you are a developer/company having about 50+ apps on the App store, chances are only 30+ of your apps maybe listed when a user searches for your apps or developer/company name on the iTunes store. But same is not the case when you log in through your developer account. When you log in as a developer, you will find all your apps listed on the iTunes store. Though you can access the app on the browser through the iTunes app URL, you cannot find it in the iTunes store search listings. READ THE FULL ARTICLE >>

2. It can also be an attempt to hack your Skype credits and your personal/contact information.

How does the attack happen?

The virus spreads through Skype scam-chats. Users from unknown Skype ids ping regular users and request them to download an image in zip format. If one attempts to reply/respond to such unknown messages, one would get immediate reply-backs. READ THE FULL ARTICLE >>
