My Weather Inbox ????

Check! I deleted all my weather apps thinking it was attached to one of them! I never would have found this without your guidance ZachEAikins18!

Thank you so much! I also deleted the email account on my wife's iPhone. Did that my weather account put her iPhone at risk of any malware other than the spam it sent?

There doesn't seem to be anything malicious about this "my Weather Inbox". I found it in a Weather app called MeteoEarth. Doesn't look like harmful spam, except for ads. But those can be picked to your liking. No reason to freak out here! I actually like having the inbox. It offers more than just weather.

Thanks this helped me get rid of a torn in my side.

This showed up on my iphone 5 - and I did not have that "app"

It was in my "Mail" server with a very strange email address and created a "Profile" in the Settings.

How can I be sure just deleting the profile has "removed it completely" -??? Is it in my back-ups ???

Thanks Zack. I had the same problem.

Aleluiah! Thank you very much!

I just got off the phone with my parents who experienced this symptom with considerable concern. They had noticed a new "From" email address selectable when composing a new message on the iPhone. The email address was apparently two randomly selected works and ended with the domain @my.minbox.email. The installed Profile in Settings>General was something along the lines of "MyWeatherRadar Click Install for your FREE Weather Radar Alerts!"

I had them look for the potentially offending applications, and suggested just deleting all third-party weather-related applications. I then instructed on how to remove the unwanted Profile.

What I have determined so far is the bogus Profile is what's called a Provisioning Profile normally used for installing beta applications outside of the App Store as well as for provisioning phones for employees in an enterprise environment. New profiles may be delivered via an installed app, or possibly, downloaded via Safari. In either case, the phone is to take the user to Settings, show the profile with an Install button. Tapping Install should prompt "Install Provisioning Profile: Installing this provisioning profile will change settings on your iPhone. [Cancel] [Install Now]"

A clue to me is the name of the provisioning profile including the words "Click Install for your FREE..." To anyone not familiar with the ins and outs of iOS development and security issues, this sounds innocuous enough.

Provisioning Profiles seem to bestow all sorts of capabilities, such as creating new accounts, installing new root certificates, and in the wrong hands, posing a certain security risk. Applications which install a new root certificate theoretically have the ability to deep-inspect network traffic or even inspect / modify network traffic by setting up a proxy server.

At this point, I'm unsure whether to advise my parents to change their iCloud passwords just to be on the safe side, but probably prudent. In the mean time, I will educate my friends and family to be careful of any website or app that wants you to install a provisioning profile on your phone. Just don't, unless you know exactly why you are doing so.

Zach; thanks man. This was freaking me out too. Not it's gone!

Thanks Zack! It freaked me out to see it as an inbox on my phone with another email address listed. I think there may be some malware with it. Your post helped me get rid of it! I feel better now!

Thanks, helped me get a lot of spam off of my wife's iPhone and solved her outbox problem, this app took over her outbound mailbox

Dear Zach --

Many thanks. It's creepy to have what is supposed to be a weather app install itself and modify the system settings so you can't delete an email account you didn't create in the first place. I don't know who these people are, but I'd love to speak to them in person. Again, many thanks.

Best regards,

Guy

Thanks for the solution it worked like a charm for me too!

That did it thank you very much Zach

I would also like to send my thanks Zach for showing how to get rid of this annoying software. Thank You !
