Has my iPhone been Hacked?

This is a well known common scam message that is trying to trick you into believing that there is a problem with your phone. The bad guys want to sell you useless software that will do nothing to help your phone or worse.....get you to reveal personal information so they can get into your phone.

Close and Ignore the message and keep working.

Hopefully, you have not clicked or tapped on any links in the message.

As there are no viruses that can infect an iPhone, there are no "virus cleaners". Apps that claim to be are scams.

A non-jailbroken phone cannot be hacked, get malware, or a virus. There is no need for any virus cleaner app as they are useless on an iPhone.

Fortunately, you are largely mistaken. While it is possible to compromise an un-jailbroken phone, it requires hundreds of thousands of dollars. And, disheartening though it might be, most of us are just not that interesting.

I disagree. A non-jail breaker iPhone can be infected and controlled even with the phone locked. Just visit anime websites and within no time at all you will find browser windows opening of their own volition followed by strange behavior outside of your browser. With an affinity to Facebook and news websites and just general phone manipulation.

You can disagree all you like, that won’t alter reality one bit.

You’re wrong.

Delete those messages immediately, do not tap on any link provided, do not give your details, it’s a scam.
