Whenever they set up these apps, however, users get the option to opt in or out of location tracking services. But what happens when a malicious campaign doesn\u2019t give users the option to opt of having their location tracked by cybercriminals? In fact, just this week, it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/hacking-campaign-targets-iphone-users-with-data-stealing-location-tracking-malware\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has been discovered<\/a> that iPhone users may be faced with that very possibility, as a sophisticated mobile malware campaign is gaining access to devices by tricking users into downloading an open-source mobile device management (MDM) software package.<\/p>\n<p>First, let\u2019s back up \u2013 how does a mobile device management software package work, exactly? Well, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.continuum.net\/resources\/mspedia\/everything-to-know-about-mobile-device-management-mdm\">Continuum<\/a>, Mobile device management (MDM)\u00a0is a type of software\u00a0used by an\u00a0IT\u00a0department to monitor, manage, and secure employees&#8217;\u00a0mobile devices. Therefore, once hijacked by hackers, this software could be used to gain almost complete access to a mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>So, with this malicious MDM campaign, cybercriminals can gain access to a device and steal various forms of sensitive information, including the phone number, serial number, location, contact details, user&#8217;s photos, SMS messages, and Telegram and WhatsApp chat messages.]<\/p>\n<h2>Tips to Stay Secure<\/h2>\n<p>As of now, it\u2019s not entirely clear how this campaign is being spread \u2013 though many signs point to social engineering. So, given the information we do know \u2013 the next question is what should iPhone users do next to stay secure? Start by following these tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep up-to-date on the latest social engineering scams<\/strong>. It\u2019s important you stay in the loop so you know what scams to look out for. This means reading up the latest security news and knowing what\u2019s real and what\u2019s fake when it comes to random emails, phone calls, and text messages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turn off location services<\/strong>. It\u2019s one thing for a cybercriminal to have ahold of your data, but it\u2019s another thing entirely if they have the ability to track your location. This hack could not only impact your digital security but your physical security as well. So, turn off the location services immediately on your phone \u2013 that way if they gain access to your device, they won\u2019t be able to track you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a mobile security solution<\/strong>. As schemes like this MDM campaign continue to impact mobile users, make sure your devices are prepared for any threat coming their way. To do just that, cover these devices with a mobile security solution, such as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/app.appsflyer.com\/id724596345?pid=Blog&amp;c=Global\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McAfee Mobile Security<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And, of course, to stay on top of the latest consumer and mobile security threats, be sure to follow\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/garyjdavis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">me<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/McAfee_Home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@McAfee_Home<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter, listen to our podcast\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geo.itunes.apple.com\/podcast\/us\/id1257232208?mt=2&amp;at=1010lbVy&amp;ct=mcafeehackable_GaryBlog_EndBlurb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Hackable?<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and \u2018Like\u2019 us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/McAfee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43387 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1-128x128.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iPhone and many of the apps designed to live on the device have the ability to track our location&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":674,"featured_media":157193,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1838],"tags":[180,214],"coauthors":[3973],"class_list":["post-90426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mobile-security","tag-malware","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>iPhone Users: This Mobile Malware Could Allow Cybercriminals to Track Your Location | McAfee Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The iPhone and many of the apps designed to live on the device have the ability to track our location.
