Trojan virus threat
I was sent an e-mail supposedly from a hacker saying that my iPhone was infected with malware and now with a Trojan Virus they have full access to my phone including my camera.
They are threatening to send a video of me using my own they took unless I send them a load of money.
Usually I would dismiss as spam but it seemed very real. Obviously I'm not going to give them money, but I was just wondering whether this kind of thing is even possible?
I also got a new phone a couple of weeks ago, they say they've been "watching" me for months, so surely they'd have to hack into my new phone, it wouldn't transfer from one phone to another?
I've downloaded an anti-virus software following receiving the e-mail and there are no viruses detected, but this hacker is saying they already got me...does that mean it's gone or was never there to begin with?
Totally confused, can someone help please!
