Developers have created a Smartphone application called "WeatherFistBadMonkey." It exploits the threat of 'botnet' and has come up as the recent threat to the cyber world.

Botnet is a kind of network that is controlled by a hacker and runs on an autonomous basis. There are many other layers of computers which are used as the controlling threads.

In answer to this kind of hacker attacks, Derek Brown and Danny Tijerina from a security firm, TippingPoint, had developed software named WeatherFist.

It was originally used for forecasting the weather and looking at its properties, it was later shifted to providing aid in collecting files from phones, logging keyboards and sending emails through other people's ids. This sift was done after upgrading it.

Now, the software aids in the understanding of 'How botnets works?' and the version of this software is available on ModMyi, an alternative app store.

The app store refers to iPhones that have been customized, known as jailbreaking, to accept software that are not available on the official app stores.

Experts believe that this move may affect the positioning of Apple.
