Yet again, 17 malware apps on the Apple App Store using well-known
techniques, still easily evade Apple's lack of testing

More proof that Apple never tests anything sufficiently...
o It's so much easier to advertise they test, than actual do the testing

Dateline, 10/25/2019 9to5Mac
o 17 malware iPhone apps removed from App Store after evading AppleĄŚs review

As usual, Apple didn't find any of these apps, someone else did.
"The apps were discovered by mobile security company Wandera, which said
that the apps did what they claimed while secretly committing fraud in the
background."

"he apps communicate with a known command and control (C&C) server to
simulate user interactions in order to fraudulently collect ad revenue [ĄK]"

And yet, Apple was clueless, as always
o Until someone told them.

*Proof Apple has _never_ sufficiently tested iOS for vulnerabilities*
O Apple prefers to loudly ADVERTISE (purely imaginary) iOS quality

Apple hasn't spent even _five minutes_ testing for this bug since iOS 7
when Apple introduced this AirDrop AirDos vulnerability in the first place!

o If You Don't Update To Apple iOS 13.3 You Could Get Locked Out Of Your iPhone

"a security researcher by the name of Kishan Bagaria uncovered a bug in the
AirDrop file transfer feature *that was introduced in iOS 7*"
