In short, the initial WireLurker infection comes from a third-party Mac OS X app store (in this case, the Chinese Maiyadi app store). Once you download and install an infected app onto your OS X machine, that’s where the fun begins. If you then plug an iOS device into an infected OS X machine, WireLurker installs itself on the iOS device. By using iOS’s enterprise provisioning system — a method usually reserved for companies to side-load apps directly onto corporate iOS devices — WireLurker can even infect non-jailbroken devices.
