Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello everybody.
i hope you can help me with a problem I had yesterday.
my IPad2, IPad mini2 and IPhone 6s all had cloudfront.net malware on them I believe. I have deleted safari history and all website data but I feel threatened still. Can anybody tell me what exactly they could of gained access to?
thanks in anticipation of your help.
iPhone 6s, iOS 11.4.1
You can find reams of meaningless stuff in the website data list. I wouldn't pay any attention to it.
Cloudfront (after another look) is a sub service of Amazon. I have plenty of cloudfront.net entries in Safari for my Mac, too. Which makes complete sense since I often visit Amazon from my Mac, and use Amazon to stream video purchases.
In other words, these jerks are using a name many people would find on their devices, but not easily associate with Amazon to scare you.
Having the battery drain faster can be caused by a number of things. But being hacked isn't one of them since they can't do that. Not without someone first jailbreaking the device. And that can only be done with physical access to your iPad or iPhone. It literally cannot be done remotely.

i should ad
people on the site told me that every time I opened my iPad they could see me. I had something called Masha also installed on my reading list. I have read up on things today and followed instructions to remove the Malware but I am just curious about what these people had access to, none of my devices are Jailbroken.
thanks for the reply by the way :-)

The “people on the site” are lying, criminals. Those messages are all bogus nonsense.
cloudfront.net would be a site on the Internet, if it existed. It doesn't. Masha doesn't exist as anything to do with software. The only thing by that name (with any relative notability) is a children's book.
No, that can't see you just by opening your iPad. Basically, stop talking to whoever these morons are. They are lying to you.
These are what I saw on my website data.

I had clicked on links that they had posted for the past few days before my I noticed my IPad mini2 battery was draining faster than usual and was getting slightly hot....I will not be visiting the site again but I just want to be sure as they were hinting at threats aimed at me.
thank you all for your replies so far, I do feel a little better already But it was quite unsettling.
Unless your devices have been jailbroken, that's a scam.
