I recently received an email from a hacker. This guy claimed that he know all of my passwords including Facebook email and etc. I just wonder is it possible that my iPhone had been installed any malicious software or trojan? If it’s real, how to scan and fix these problems on iPhone?
iPhone 8 Plus
The email is just that, an email. The scammer has purchased thousands of user names/passwords from hackers that had previously hacked sites such as Hotmail, yahoo, etc. They are now trying to use those user names and passwords to scare people such as yourself and thousands of others into believing they have access to your devices ...... they don’t.

Such emails are very common, and they all have one thing in common ........ they are all scams. The scammers are using passwords from breached online accounts to attempt to extort money from users. Don’t be one of those victims.
Thanks for the response, so it can only prove that he somehow had my email account password. That’s ok cause I had changed a new password after that. At this stage my only concern is my iPhone was not safe anymore, therefore I want some antivirus software which can be used in iPhone
Does my iPhone has any safety issues?
