Four computer security researchers from the Georgia Institute of 
Technology have demonstrated that they can create malicious apps 
that can avoid detection by Apple's app review process.

In "Jekyll on iOS: When Benign Apps Become Evil", a paper 
presented at the Usenix Security '13 conference, Tielei Wang, 
Kangjie Lu, Long Lu, Simon Chung, and Wenke Lee describe how 
they were able to create apps that can be exploited remotely 
through program paths that did not exist during the app review 
process. The researchers call these "Jekyll apps," because they 
conceal their malicious side.
