Apple naturally removed AppEceiver from App Store, but malware is still spreading, according to Palo Alto Networks security researchers who discovered it.

Malware needed the App Store only once to spread, simply requiring the victim to install an application on his computer. After that, iOS device infestation is completed in the background without the user's awareness and with the only indication of a new icon on the home screen of the device that the user does not remember that it has lowered it.
