Email Malware?

I got this email the other day and wanted to unsubscribe from it, but when I tried to click the associated link to do so; I was directed to their website with no option to unsubscribe. Now in my frequently visited websites it appears there, even though I only went to it once. Every time I delete it, it comes back.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Keep the iPhone updated to the latest iOS always and never Jailbreak. That's it.


iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be infected with Viruses / Malware / Spyware if it is updated to the latest iOS/iPadOS unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed them on your device or/and have Jailbroken


It (Hacking) also depends on how careful are you in sharing sensitive and valuable information pertaining to your iPhone such as Passcode, Password, etc with your friends and family members.


Be careful when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable information with friends and family members.

  3. Don't Jailbreak
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device and payment methods
