Ransomware on iPhone
I recently did a search on a theological topic and was hit with a ransomware called 'trutsapps'. I just opened the site and it loaded. Can't find anything on the *net about it. Anybody have any info on it?
iPhone 7

Are you saying your device is now locked and unusable to you because of something installed? Or did you just get some message telling you someone would lock your device unless you payed?
True ransomware, if installed, locks you out of your device so you cannot use it until the ransomware is removed. A message from visiting a web site saying someone is going to lock your device or violate an account unless you pay is just a scam hoping to scar you into responding so they can do something to you.
There is no way for a web site to install anything on an iOS or iPadOS device. The operating system does not allow any installers any access to the device. This assumes the device is not jailbroken.
