If you don’t have Norton security, which you don’t need on an iPhone, then it was a scam message. Ignore it.

I’m getting threatening texts from Norton, about how I’m going to loose all my data if I don’t sign up with them. I’d like to speak with an apple employee to find out if it’s a scam. Do I need to spend this ungodly $ on Norton or is it a scare tactic?this is on of several texts I’m getting.

iCloud Security Breach /Scam Did anyone receive phone calls from Apple Inc (as displayed on your phone) and stating your iCloud had a security breach? The tech support log into your computer and shows you that your device IP was hacked... and to be able to clean up the hack... they want you to buy Apple ITune cards to fix up the security hole?
