Detecting and removing Pegasus spyware on an iPhone SE

hey, I haven't been opening my emails lately but, decided to open them yesterday 5/27/24.

While I was looking at my junk email I saw an email titled "i have hacked you" and it was sent on saturday 5/25/24 using my email. they also claimed that it was a pegasus?

the email said the exact same thing you described 10 days ago. i was wondering what happened after? was it real? is it a scam? 48 hours for me would be tommorow, so I would appreciate it if you could respond. im just really paranoid and have been trying to keep calm and figure things out.

Actually, I was reading and searching for answers on the "ask the community" tab and saw that others experienced the same thing and from reading comments, I saw that it was a scam and to just delete the message. I was honestly so scared but I'm glad I got my answers :)

No, unless you provided personal or financial information to the scammers.

Otherwise delete the email and do not interact with the message or the sender.

A non-jailbroken phone cannot be hacked, get malware, or a virus. Why do you think you have a problem?

I was sent a email from my Apple ID saying they hacked me, and was going to send pictures of my family onto to the web for everyone if I didn’t send $$ in 48

No one from Apple sent you a message.

Don't be tricked by scams.

The scam message that you received has been around for years.

I recieved the same email 2 days ago.

should I be concerned, since I'm truly paranoid right now.

Don’t do anything. Ignore the email and do not respond in any way.

Ignore and delete the message. Never click on a link in a message like this.
