What would then happen is what’s called credential stuffing: trying that email address and password combination in a bunch of other websites to see if they work. Yours, along with others, would be available to the highest bidder. Imagine that just one of those sites got hacked and it hadn’t encrypted its users’ passwords. They’re becoming ever-more sophisticated, but modern “antivirus” software can help to protect you – even on an iPhone or iPad.Ī lot of the time, these apps are protecting you from yourself!

They also know that it’s far easier to trick you into handing over your password, ID information and payment details which, ultimately, is what they really want.Īnd this is why there are so many text scams, fake websites and dodgy links on social media. Scammers, cybercriminals – call them what you want – know that it’s extremely difficult to write a virus that will compromise your iPhone.
