A cache of old mobile games and apps from TestFlight, a platform for developers to share in-development versions of their apps, has been discovered on the Internet Archive. The 1.2TB collection, known as the "teraleak," is a significant find for preservationists as many of these older apps are no longer available for download. The apps, dating from around 2012 to 2015, were scraped from the TestFlight website and uploaded to the Internet Archive in 2015.

A new vulnerability in iOS allows hackers to spy on iPhone users through a third-party keyboard featuring a keylogger. By disguising the keylogger in a small app and using Apple's TestFlight tool, hackers can bypass Apple's security checks and trick users into downloading the malicious app. The custom keyboard looks virtually identical to the iPhone's default keyboard, making it difficult to detect. To protect against this threat, users should regularly check their keyboard settings, avoid downloading apps from unknown sources, be cautious when using TestFlight, update their iOS, and have antivirus software installed. If victimized, users should change passwords, monitor accounts, contact banks and credit card companies, alert contacts, restore devices to factory settings, and consider using identity theft protection services.

The TestFlight 3.4.3 update resolves this issue, allowing users on iOS 17.1 or later to accept invitations to test beta apps via redemption codes. TestFlight is a platform that enables developers to distribute beta apps outside the App Store. The release date for iOS 17.1 is yet to be confirmed, but it could be made available to the public at any time.
