Possible phishing scam? I was reading a article then a window popped up telling me I had a Trojan virus on my phone affecting 17% of my data. This is a scam right? It was a window that appeared to be from Apple security it said “virus detected by apple” it had click button that said “remove virus” but then led to App Store to download a new app. This is a phishing scam right? Does apple do that pop up a Screen when a virus is detected.

Critical threat VPN scam Earlier today I fell for a phishing scam. A pop up appeared on my safari saying that I needed to download a VPN app to stop my IP address being leaked. I followed the link which took me to the Apple store and I downloaded the VPN app. But as soon as I downloaded I realised this was a bit fishy so I didn’t go on the app and deleted it immediately. Has my phone been hacked by this phishing scam?
