Как настроить iPhone, чтобы избежать взлома и кражи данных

Passwords, correspondence, photos, notes - we trust all this to our smartphone and feel safe. However, scammers are not asleep and are coming up with new ways to hack devices and get the necessary data. Therefore, we decided to discuss security issues and tell you how you can protect your iPhone from hacking and where to go if it is stolen.

It’s easy to “assign” a phone

The cybercriminal's goal is to take over your Apple ID in order to gain absolute power over your technology. Capture methods are constantly changing and often work well. For example:

A friend receives a notification that he has been hacked and needs help - all you need to do is log into his Apple ID from your iPhone.

The system sends a notification that it has detected your device and asks you to follow a link to clarify the details (and the link is phishing).

You need to be on your guard, otherwise it’s easy to fall for the scammer’s bait. It is better to double-check the data - call a friend, a service company - and clarify how true the message is.

You have already lost your account login: what to do

Did the scammers manage to outsmart you and your account is lost? We tell you what to do in this case.

Contact Apple Support here. To prove that you are not a fraudster, you need to present the box from the device and the purchase receipt. Access will be restored, but not immediately - you need to understand this.

There is no need to enter into negotiations with the kidnappers - contact the police immediately.
