Detected threat while doing iPhone local backup

I was doing a local backup of my iPhone on my mac (via USB) and Bitdefender suddenly reported a threat saying I had to remove it manually:

Nombre de la amenaza: Trojan.Ciusky.CryptedAit.1
Ruta: /Users/user/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
000…01-…FA001E/Snapshot/
13/13bf4a5121fc…486f5b8e.upload=> (REMOVED_NULLS)

I just scanned the Backup directory but it didn't find anything.

Could this be a false positive?

Also, I can't find much info on the threat and the (REMOVED_NULLS) tag.

If you believe a website or file has been incorrectly blocked by Bitdefender, you can submit the details to Bitdefender malware researchers by filling out the form at the link below:

https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/29358/

If the website or file is found to be incorrectly blocked, the detection will be removed within a maximum of 72 hours. However, if the detection persists after 72 hours, the website or file will be considered malicious, as determined by Bitdefender malware research team, and the detection will remain.

Hi, thanks for the reply!

However, I was looking for more info about the Trojan.Ciusky.CryptedAit.1 threat. The second time I did the backup I didn't get any detections, plus a full system scan didn't find anything. That's the only reason I have to believe it was a false positive. It looks like the file was a temp file which was deleted after the backup process, so I can't submit any files.

Bitdefender uses its own unique way of naming malware, which might not match the more commonly used names you’ll find on internet. Because of this, it can be a bit tricky to find information about specific Bitdefender detection names on the internet. This is completely normal and part of how Bitdefender keeps its threat detection consistent and effective.

Also, since Bitdefender has already detected and removed the malware, your system is currently safe. There is no need to worry unless you notice anything unusual again.

Additionally, you can take a look at the PDF attached below, provided by Bitdefender Support. While it may appear slightly outdated due to the older Bitdefender logo, the information it contains is still accurate and relevant.
