[IOS USERS] ALERT! exploit - .ÐÆṀØÑ - Nov 17, 2014
Hello everyone,
I am here to warn all IOS users , this vulnerability works on iOS 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 8.0, 8.1 and 8.1.1 beta, for both jailbroken and non-jailbroken devices. The attack works through wireless networks and USB and has been named “Masque Attack."
Things to do :
-First make sure that you always run HTTPS on the websites you visit .
-Avoid going on public networks in public places , even though the chance of finding someone who knows what they are doing is very slim but still , better safe than sorry . The reason behind this is that they could run a MITM attack on you .
Be SAFE !

Wrong place to post.
Either post it in the iOS section, or the Security Alerts section.

the attack does not work specifically like you said...
"Masque Attack works by luring a user to install an app outside of the iOS App Store by clicking a phishing link in a text message or email. For example, a user could be prompted to download a new app in a text message that says something like "Hey, try out Flappy Bird 2". A user is then directed to a website where they're prompted to download the app, which will install the fake app over the legitimate one using iOS enterprise provision profiles, making it virtually undetectable. "
So unless you download and install an app not in the apple store you are good. Also the USA government issued a bulletin cause blah blah chinese hackers blah blah high profile target iphones exploited.
