The iPhone Audit: Simple Defence System
Your iPhone can be hacked, and all of your data easily stolen
If you’re an iPhone user, you probably have a LOT of your personal data stored on it. Your entire life maybe: photos, videos, docs, notes, emails, passwords, etc.
Just imagine HOW BAD it would be that someone malicious gets access to your private data through your iPhone. You might not be aware how often this happens nowadays.
Have you ever wondered if your iPhone can:
- get infected by a virus or a malware?
- get compromised by clicking suspicious links?
- be hacked through WiFi or Bluetooth?
The answer is YES. One of the most common purposes of cyber attacks on iPhone is identity theft.
This happens when the criminals steal your personal data in order to take over or open new accounts, rent or buy properties using your money, or do other criminal things in your name.
According to multiple reports, one identity theft happens every 3 seconds! 1 2
No matter what you think of Apple and iPhone, you can trust me on this: your iPhone can be hacked. Thousands of iPhone users get hacked every day.
This is not because the iPhone is bad. It’s a great phone.
One of the best money can buy!
But, the majority of iPhone users have zero or basic knowledge of how to securely use it. And that’s a huge problem.
