While we relaxed in velour tracksuits and shred on Rock Band\u2019s faux guitar, we were also obsessing over the release of what was about to be the biggest game changer to the world of mobile tech, the iPhone. It\u2019s hard to believe it\u2019s already been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dezeen.com\/2017\/01\/09\/apple-iphone-10-anniversary-decade-history-design-technology-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ten years<\/a> since the first generation of iPhone was introduced to the world, with its 3.5 inch touchscreen, but Apple products have seen a complete resurgence and gained a cult following over the last decade.<\/p>\n<p>Apple products offer many reasons for such obsession: user-friendly interfaces, incredible displays for design, and excellent malware protection through constant system updates. However, the rumor that Apple\u2019s suite of devices is entirely unhackable and virus-proof is simply untrue.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, yes, Windows devices have had a much more public struggle with virus infections. Any Windows user can tell you a horror story about the time the infamous \u201cblue screen of death\u201d struck right before they hit \u201csave\u201d on a report, or the time their <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/consumer-threat-notices\/android-linux-bug-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android phone was hacked through a faulty app<\/a>. Somewhere along the way, Apple products became the \u201canti-Windows,\u201d and were reputed to be immune to any incoming viruses. As people depend more and more on their iPhones, however, cybercriminals are becoming more interested in creating malware and viruses targeted to mess with your Apple devices.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest iPhone viruses to hit iOS devices was Pegasus, which is considered one of the most sophisticated pieces of software ever created to spy on a smartphone. It\u2019s not possible for users to detect Pegasus on their mobile devices, even once the phone has been infected. The malware engrains itself so deeply into a device that it can see a message before it is sent \u2013 meaning that the hacker can essentially watch your thoughts typing out on the keyboard before making the final decision to send anything. In August of 2016, Apple issued a statement to all iPhone users, suggesting that they <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/mobile-security\/ios-update-security-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">install the latest security update<\/a> to prevent Pegasus from installation on any more phones. However, if the malware has already infected your phone, there is no way to remove it.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Secure Your iOS Devices<\/h2>\n<p>Although Pegasus has had the most severe impact, there have been other types of viruses to hit Apple mobile devices. Dirty COW is another vulnerability that was found affecting iOS devices, \u201cWorms\u201d are a type of virus that can enter a phone once it has been jailbroken, and KeRanger and FileCoder are ransomware that have been directed at iOS devices over the past few years. So how can you continue your love affair with your iOS device <em>and<\/em> be sure that you can stay as safe as possible from <a href=\"http:\/\/fortune.com\/2017\/01\/06\/this-vicious-new-malware-freezes-apple-computers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple-targeting malware<\/a>?<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><u>Fixate On Updates<\/u> Apple has an incredible response time for reacting to security breaches like Pegasus, but the most effective way to keep viruses out of your devices is to <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/consumer-threat-notices\/update-apple-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">keep them updated<\/a>. Each update contains stronger security measures than the last and addresses updates to known vulnerabilities.<\/li>\n<li><u>Forget Jailbreaks<\/u> <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/identity-protection\/how-does-jailbreaking-or-rooting-affect-my-mobile-device-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jailbreaking<\/a> seems cool at first, since doing so lets you take total control of your mobile device. However, opening your phone up to cool fonts and themes isn\u2019t worth the rest of the vulnerabilities you unlock in the process. The operating system, and the security measures that come with it, become void when you jailbreak, leaving you with no protections against harmful viruses trying to enter your device.<\/li>\n<li><u>Fight Back<\/u> One of the best ways to be proactive about protecting your mobile device is to fight back with malware protection. Security solutions like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafeemobilesecurity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McAfee Mobile Security<\/a>, which is free for both\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/app.appsflyer.com\/com.wsandroid.suite?pid=Blog&amp;c=Global\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/app.appsflyer.com\/id724596345?pid=Blog&amp;c=Global\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iOS<\/a>, can help protect personal files.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you think <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/mobile-security\/so-your-phone-is-hacked\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it\u2019s too late for preventative measures<\/a> and that your phone has already been hacked, it\u2019s important that you delete unfamiliar apps, and change passwords. There are many ways to tell if your phone\u2019s security has been breached, like odd credit card payments and bank account activity, so pay close attention to your accounts.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to get caught up in the beauty and functionality of Apple products, but it\u2019s equally as important to maintain your personal security while using them. Once you fall for a malware attack or your device is hit with a virus, it immediately loses its luster. Taking these few precautions will ensure a much simpler time in ramping up your personal security.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30889\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/lianne-caetano.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"99\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; 10 years ago, Fergie and Gwen Stefani were at the top of the charts, and Juno had just been&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":674,"featured_media":124276,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1838],"tags":[37,4322,40,214],"coauthors":[3973],"class_list":["post-68877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mobile-security","tag-android","tag-app-security","tag-apple","tag-mobile-security1"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>iOS Users Aren\u2019t So Immune to Threats After All | McAfee Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&nbsp; 10 years ago, Fergie and Gwen Stefani were at the top of the charts, and Juno had just been released.
