LPT: Treat your iPhone exactly like your PC when it comes to sketchy links. The "iPhones don't get malware" myth is causing people to get their passwords stolen
We’ve all heard the old saying that Apple devices don't get viruses. Because of this, a lot of people will casually click on random links in text messages or emails on their phones that they would *never* click on a desktop computer. I was reading up on some recent scam trends, and there is a new wave of "infostealers" (one specifically called Darkstorm) that are built exclusively to target iOS. They basically exploit the fact that iPhone users have their guard down, and they scrape your saved passwords, banking sessions, and crypto data right off the device.
The tip is simple: Stop assuming the Apple logo makes you invincible.
Keep your iOS updated (those annoying updates actually patch the holes these stealers use).
Don't install "configuration profiles" from random websites.
Be just as suspicious of links on your phone as you are on your laptop.
Stay safe!
