Random web sites that can dig incredibly deeply into the contents of your iPhone, with a “scan” that would be deep enough to pilfer all of your data, and to upload all your mail and contacts and photos, and, well, everything, and the only thing these random “helpful” websites do is run an incredibly fast anti-malware scan, and then helpfully post up a panic-inducing and a phone number you can call.... Riiiiiiiiiight.
No. It’s bogus. They’re trying to hack you. Not your iPhone. You. They’re trying to hack you.
We’re easier to hack than our devices.
