recently I purchased malware bytes for my apple iPhone 12(downloaded from Apple Store). Today a message pops up that stated iMessage signed out. I go to settings and see that iMessage is on and I then see this under filtering messages:
does anyone know what “iHydra” is?
Keep the iPhone updated to the latest iOS always and never Jailbreak. That's it.
iOS / iPadOS devices cannot infected with Virus / 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.
Be careful when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable information with friends and family members.
Thumb Rules:
Please post if you find out. I have the same thing and I can’t find it anywhere, even by searching long and hard. I work in IT and I’m pretty tech savvy. But I can’t find any answer to why this is an option for message filtering.
Thanks.
Well I pretty much got nowhere on this forum or on a Malwarebytes support ticket. Response from agent was basically “Google it and you’ll see multiple articles on the subject” ( I found none). Everything I saw or read led me to believe that Malwarebytes for IOS was a waste of money. If it doesn’t work with iOS iPhones why would Apple sell it on their store??? My phone has been nothing but issues and this is the 2nd iPhone 12 I have had in the past 15 months. Serial numbers don’t disappear on their and SIM cards should match when genius bar diagnostics are run.
Malware bytes and “iHydra”
