Where can I find the malware on my iphone?

My firewall shows me that I am sending messages to on.syndetimmit.shop and enfurte.com but I don't know where it comes from. I have restarted my phone and deleted all the browsers on my iphone and I have only apps from the official app Store. But still the messages are being send. How can I find out which app is sending these messages?

iPhone 13 Pro

Most likely these are coming from a third-party app on your iPhone. This can happen with any app, regardless of where it was obtained, and often is related to the app tracking your use and/or contacting an ad network of some sort. I've not found anything useful on the web related to those domains so I don't know what they might actually be collecting.


I'm not aware of any built-in way on an iPhone to see what apps specifically are sending data through Wi-Fi, but if you look in the Cellular settings to see what's using cellular data, that might provide a clue. Then you can try deleting any suspect apps and see if those contacts stop. Or block those domains in your router, if yours allows that, and see if an app fails or generates an error.


Regards.

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


iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware *** 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 you are in sharing sensitive and valuable information pertaining to your iPhone such as Passcode, Password, etc with your friends and family members.


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



**The primary reason for this is Sandboxing. All third-party apps are “sandboxed”, so they are restricted from accessing files stored by other apps or from making changes to the device. Sandboxing is designed to prevent apps from gathering or modifying information stored by other apps.

The sandbox on an iPhone is a security feature that creates a restricted environment for each app to run in isolation from other apps and the operating system. It is a core component of iOS's security architecture and plays a crucial role in making iPhones more secure.
