Can an Iphone 5 get hacked/get a virus?
So I was on twitter on my iphone 5 and i accidentally clicked on a link from those fact accounts. I closed the window before it could fully loads if that helps. I was wondering if I could get hacked/get a virus/malware on my iphone.
please help. I haven't jailbroken it btw. But it isn't updated all the way
It could but it is still very rare
You don't need to worry about that on an iphone. If jailbroken and downloading stuff from anywhere then you can get a virus. If its not jailbroken then all apps install through the appstore which is extremely safe, its one of the best things since all code is reviewed before it can get in the appstore, so you don't even need to run antivirus like other phones do.
- Is my iphone broken and is there a virus on it or is it hacked? My phone is a iphone 8 and it is fairly new because I got it last year. When I call people, I can hear a echoing sound on the background of the iphone. When I use my phone to search on google, it is extremely slow. Also my battery depletes so fast and i always have to charge it.
- If an iPhone somehow got a virus, what would stop that virus from spreading to the recovery image? If an iPhone got a virus, couldn't it just spread to the recovery image? I don't mean where you connect the iPhone to your computer and restore through iTunes. I mean the restore image that is actually on the iPhone.
- I have a iPhone and my safari froze when a pop up asked me to call this number to get rid of a virus so I don't know if I have a virus or no? So today I was looking for music online and this pop up came up and froze my browser and it asked me to call this number but I didn't and hit cancel and cleared my history and I restarted my phone cause it acted slow so I don't know if I have a virus or not
- Hacked into schools Wi-Fi, can I get in trouble? I have recently found a way to hack into my schools Wi-Fi, and access it (It was password protected). I did it buy changing the MAC address of my iphone. Can I get in trouble, or track me?
