XcodeGhost is being termed as the biggest security breach that has hit iOS devices, affecting over 500 million users worldwide. While the earlier analysis suggested China being the main target, more tests carried out since the news broke out reveal a much larger affected demographic, including Europe.

Palo Alto Networks security research firm was the first to discover XcodeGhost which is a malware found in Xcode, Apple'sofficial tool for developers to create iOS and OS X apps. As we reported last week, the malware was suggested to have impacted 39 apps, including some names of the popular and legitimate apps. Over the weekend, it was revealed that over 344 apps have been detected carrying this malware so far. This list might grow with more names, but asApple has already been tryingto remove any instances of apps that are infected from the App Store, we might not be seeing at least the most popular titles joining this list.

Put together by the same folks at Palo Alto Networks, here are some of theXcodeGhost affected apps that have been identified so far.

There may be hundreds of other apps that are affected and yet to be detected. As reported previously Apple has started to remove these apps, however, if you want to confirmif your device has been infected, Pangu has a solution for you on itswebsitethat will detect your iOS device for any XcodeGhost hosting apps. While we wouldn't advise you to try out these third-party solutions, it is better to uninstall the apps that are reported to beinfected and get them back once Apple uploads their clean copies in the App Store.

Earlier in the year, The Intercept reported Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) indulging in techniques like modifying Xcode to break into Apple's devices. Citing documents provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, the report claimed thatCIA "had created a modified version of Apple’s proprietary software development tool, Xcode, which could sneak surveillance backdoors into any apps or programs created using the tool." As privacy activists have long argued, such tactics by security agencies often open up security loopholes to other groups as well, putting security and privacy of larger public at risk.
