iPhone random restart

Hello! I was browsing the web when my screen suddenly went black. Then the phone restarted and everything seems to be normal. I know that sometimes iphones may restart randomly and I've found various ways to solve this, but I've read somewhere to check my analytics data.


There I've found "backboardd.wakeups_resource..." and "ExcUserFault_wifid_..." being the last ones. When I searched for backboardd I've noticed discussions about malware and this determined me to post this questions:


Can my iphone be infected with some malware or virus? Can the site I was browsing cause the restart?


My phone is NOT jailbroken and everything installed comes from AppStore.


Thanks!

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15

Hey there,
