Could a pdf put spyware or a virus on an iPhone?
I received an email from someone I met online (I gave them my email and they sent me a book we had been talking about), but so the book was an e book, I don't know how they made it into a pdf, but they sent it to me and I opened it and it was the book. I saved the book from safari onto my notes (I would click a link on my notes to access it). I was wondering could a pdf, which is a book, so it didn't have links or anything, could that infect an iPhone without me realizing that it was a virus or malware. Would my phone show signs of anything? Is it possible for someone to hack your iPhone remotely with a pdf?
Hacking with a pdf isn't very likely, but technically anything you download off the internet has the potential to have a virus attached. If you did have a virus, you would realize it, it would definitely have signs as most virus's are sent in order to mess with systems which would have an obvious effect when trying to use the phone. Malware can be downloaded with a PDF, but apple did release a patch for such occasions in IOS 9.3
- Virus or Spyware on iphone 3GS? I was checking my email earlier on my iphone 3GS and opened what I thought was a legitimate email from my friend but it turned out to be a spam mail. I clicked on a link and it brought be to a website about working from home and so on. I'm not sure if it had any virus or spyware attached to the link but is there any way I scan my iphone for this? Or do iphones by default not get any virus or spyware?

- Is it possible for police to put spyware on an iPhone? Would it be possible for police to put spyware on an iPhone that they had in their possession? And would a factory reset destroy any spyware?
- 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.
