Hey everyone,
Yesterday I got an Email from Apple Team saying that my account will be suspended,
i opened the email from my iphone and there was an attachment so i opened it,
after that i hesitated on clicking the link the PDF(attached) file, so i opened it my Laptop as it directly gave me that it contains a virus,
my question is: does opening the PDF(attachment) file on my iphone harms my phone?
Thanks for the support.
If you did nothing but open the attachment, then you should be alright. Unless you have a jailbroken device, you cannot get a virus on the iPhone.
If you opened both on your phone and computer, they *could* be compromised with malware, spyware, etc.

read this and take the necessary precautions. If in doubt, contact Apple directly so they can help you to see if your devices have been compromised.
No, opening a PDF attachment will not harm the phone. Such scam messages rely on the victim inputting their personal/financial information at their bogus site.
Much appreciated !! Thanks
You’re welcome.
