iPhone users are notorious for their slight indulgence towards those who prefer alternative platforms. Android is constantly under attack by malware and Trojans, they say, while iOS is immune to threats. Is it really that<\/i> secure as Apple fans see it?<\/p>\n
The answer is: no, it isn\u2019t. In this article we will discuss several types of attacks which are as bad for the iPhone\u2019s as they are for other devices.<\/p>\n
Phishing attacks target \u2018what\u2019s between a chair and a keyboard,\u2019 meaning the users themselves. Phishers typically prey on human carelessness or a lack of overall awareness of security issues.<\/p>\n
It might seem as if the attributes of a phishing attack are known to everyone. But lest we forget that newbies join Internet day by day in great numbers, and they are not necessarily aware of the tricks that cyber-criminals try to play on them. On the other hand, cyber-criminals do not sit idle; they invent new tricks every day.<\/p>\n
If there is slightest doubt that the website you are on is not legitimate (for instance, the questions asked by your online banking tool are different from those you are used to), don\u2019t push your luck and contact the support team right away. Better safe than sorry, otherwise you are running a high chance of battling for your hard-earned money later.<\/p>\n
