Major iOS flaw makes iPhones, iPads vulnerable to keylogging; TouchID interaction also visible

Researchers have unearthed what is potentially a huge flaw in Apple’s iOS mobile operating system. While we have seen bugs crop up aplenty on all platforms, this is one of the biggest vulnerabilities in iOS that could potentially allow anyone to track your keyboard presses, physical button presses, and TouchID interaction. The vulnerability, discovered by researchers at security firm FireEye, can affect even non-jailbroken iPhones and iPads as long as they are running a version of iOS newer than 6.1.x. Researchers published a blog post earlier this week, which ominously said the vulnerability can be exploited by using an app that can potentially harm your iDevice even after it bypasses Apple’s stringent app review process.
