Malware from PDF

Just got at fake mail about a purchase from app store. Dum as i was i opened the pdf file to see what it could be 😕

Luckily it was on my iPhone i'd opened it.

Are there any chances that the pdf file could have infected my iPhone in some way, or should i not worry, i did not activate any links in the pdf nor have i given any information anywhere. just worries for my local network and passcodes on my iPhone.


any feed would be appreciated.

Don't know if this is the right place to ask, newbie, sorry

You're welcome.

Apple will always address you by your real name, never by your email address or Dear Customer. Also the sent-from address should be @apple.com or @itunes.com Additionally Apple does not send attachments.
