Do you also feel that danger and fraud lurk at every step? You are not so far from the truth and it is up to us to learn to predict such problems.
In the younger generation, there are probably few individuals who would not use modern smart technologies in everyday life. We find them everywhere – smart phones, smart TV, smart vacuum cleaners, drawers, smart cars. It seems as if the only one who lags behind was left by man himself, although he chose the nickname “Sapiens”, wise. But unfortunately, with the development of smart technologies, cunning ideas also come to deceive and cheat their users.
Fraud on iPhone
At the moment, the owners of apple devices, ie products from the Apple factories, should be alert. Their iPhones can easily get a warning that calls for a password change. Attention – most likely it is a fraud that it is not advisable to respond at all. What does it look like?
Caution is in place
Once you have responded to the “Reset Password” notification, you will probably appear in the next window: “Use this iPhone to reset your Apple ID password”. You still have a choice whether to click “Enable” or “not allow”. The right choice is clear – no permit!
You have several options to back up
Even if you succumb to the desire to listen to your fraudulent phone and confirm your willingness to reset the password and set up new ones, you still have the opportunity to reverse the likely problem. Let’s see what it will look like. You will find the code to change your password. We are still in a relatively safe zone until… until someone (a fraudster) is called for you as an Apple technical support worker. At that moment, it all really begins.
A rescuer or a cheater?
What will Apple’s “employee” want? Nothing less than that password. That your phone has become the target of the attack and a good worker wants to protect you. Do we really want to believe it? Here, too, the golden rule applies – never and to tell anyone security passwords! If the fraudster gets your code and thus the password, he has everything he needs to do what he wants with your phone, or all the data he hides. Including accounts.
Better not to believe (almost) to anyone
And because, as we know, repetition of wisdom, let’s say again: Never trust anyone or slogans, and not at all unverifiable callers, whatever they go for. With any suspicion that you could fly through all the caution, immediately change all access passwords to your device and block access to the bank for sure. Remember, the real system updates are not for anything for nothing – newer versions usually contain more careful security with regard to new threats.
Two sides of one coin
This is not easy, but we must also be interested in the possible problems that can bring with them to use the benefits and help of modern technologies. Let’s try to actively prevent risks and think about the elections offered before each confirmation. It can pay off.
