Can an iPhone be hacked?

With the advancement of technology and the emergence of different types of tools, the possibility of  hacking has become easier for hackers, and they can easily hack different types of phones and have access to their data. This is in the case that hackers use the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of phones to hack phones. Of course, it should be noted that iPhones have a hard and complicated hacking process compared to Android phones, and hackers can hardly hack iPhones. But that does not mean that iPhones are not hacked at all. So, if you also use iPhones, it is better to take some necessary security measures than to prevent them from being hacked.  iPhones are designed and manufactured to be highly secure, but this does not mean that they can never be hacked. So, we must take security measures to prevent the iPhone from being hacked with iOS.

Why are iPhones hacked?

This year may be a little difficult to answer because iPhones are designed and manufactured to have very strong security measures, which is why you may be a little surprised to hear this question. But it is worth noting that iPhones can also be hacked, and if there are some vulnerabilities in them, hackers can use them to easily hack it and infiltrate the phone. Of course, some of the reasons that can affect the hacking of iPhones and cause vulnerabilities are as follows:

- Jailbreaking:

If you jailbreak your phone and use developer investment accounts, you may need to use apps designed and developed ( in Slovak:  aplikácie navrhnuté a vyvinuté  ). Using applications that you download from other sources may cause some malware and viruses to enter your system, in which case your phone may be infected with malware and open the way for hackers to access your phone. As they know, applications should not be installed on the phone from unreliable sources. Because applications that are unreliable in other sources may be designed and developed so that you can damage your phone by installing them. It is better to install  the applications that are provided in the App Store  to meet your needs because these types of applications are designed and developed by reliable and trustworthy sources so that you can use them.

Installing applications from unreliable sources allows malware to enter the system. As they know, malware in the phone creates ways for hackers to enter the phone and easily steal its data.

- Clicking on unknown links:

Hackers may want to use phishing attacks to use social engineering methods to hack into hackers' phones. It is true that iPhones are safe and hard to hack. But if users who use iPhones cause vulnerabilities, it is possible to hack the phones easily, and hackers can easily hack the iPhone and steal its data. Hackers may send some malicious links to users via email and persuade them to click on that link, and, after clicking on that link, create a way for hackers to access it. To not hack your phone in this way, it is better to delete suspicious and spammed links in emails as soon as you see them without reading and clicking. Because by clicking on them, you may allow some malware to enter the system or cause vulnerabilities, and hackers can use them to easily hack your phone.

- Download apps more inaccessible sources:

As we said above, it is better to download the applications you need from reputable sources to not have any problems and do not damage your phone. Some unreliable sources may provide malicious applications with the motives and motives of hacking the phone, and if users also download those applications from unreliable sources, they may damage their phone, and some applications that are provided in unreliable sources may by installing the malware on the system, they can also install it on the phone, and hackers can create vulnerabilities through this malware, and then they can easily access the phone and hack pomegranates. So, if you want your phone not to be easily hacked by hackers and you do not create vulnerabilities yourself, it is better to download the applications you need from reputable sources. App Store and reputable sources that you can download the  apps you need for iPhones with iOS operating system, is the App Store.

- Using other people's charging cables and connecting to public networks:

If you connect to public networks, you allow the network owner to easily access your data. Because by connecting to public networks such as Wi-Fi, Hackers can use some tools to easily enter your phone and access your data. It may be the trick of hackers to persuade you to connect to public places such as restaurants, coffee shops, shopping malls, etc., by providing free Wi-Fi and Internet networks to connect to them. And after you connect to those networks, use some special tools so that they can easily hack you. It is better not to connect to public Wi-Fi networks to prevent Yankar.

- Visiting viral sites:

You may be browsing the Internet, and, in this case, you will encounter some sites and visit them. It is possible that these sites are viral and spammed, and when you enter these sites, your phone becomes infected and corrupts it. In this case, it is better to leave the site, and if you display different pop-ups or links, do not click on any of them. It should be noted that even some options "ok," "close," and "do not allow" can be trapped, and by clicking on them, the phone will be infected, and then by creating vulnerabilities, They hack and infiltrate.

Some sites try to persuade users to visit those sites with titles, and when users enter those sites, it quickly becomes viral. For example, sites that offer free downloads can infect your iPhone.

Alternatively, hackers may offer public charging cables in public places so that you can use them to charge your phone. But it is worth noting that if you use a public charging cable,  you may allow hackers to access and hack your phone. Especially if your iPhone is not locked, you allow hackers to hack into your phone and infiltrate it by connecting to the public charging cable. To prevent this, it is better to put some strong passwords on your phone or avoid using public charging cables.

How can we check if the iPhone has been hacked or not?
