When you download an app from the App Store, you are asked for your Apple ID, but not asked specifically for permission to install the app.
And if you are asked to install an app, definitely decline it. Any time you get a strange prompt from your iPad, decline it. When this happens, your iPad prompts you for permission to install the app. No doubt, Apple will make it tougher for hackers to use this method in the future, but there will always be a way for corporate apps to be installed on an iPad. The "loophole" of the enterprise model isn't so much of a loophole as it's a feature being repurposed. Never give permission for an app to be installed on your device: This is where they get you.With the ability to back your apps and data up to the cloud and restore backups from the cloud, you can even avoid plugging the iPad into your own PC. Your iPad charges regardless of your answer, and the only reason to trust a PC is to transfer files. Never trust an unknown computer: When you plug your iPad into a PC using the Lightning adapter, you're prompted whether to trust the computer.Apple combats this by patching holes and releasing those patches as operating system updates. Hackers are good at what they do, and they are continuously checking all facets of the iPad for a way into the device. In addition to USB, external hard drives, CDs and DVDs can contain malware if they have been connected to an infected computer. Recently, malware was found in the USB charger of an electronic cigarette. If you are looking for the best protection, simply avoid jailbreaking the iPad. Since the malware is hidden in the firmware and not the storage area of the stick, it is very hard to detect. Knowledgeable users can jailbreak their device and research individual apps to reduce the threat of malware, but even then, they are in a less protected environment. Think twice about jailbreaking your device: One way malware can be installed on your iPad is by side-stepping Apple's App Store.
