Hackers Are Watching You! - Apple

2023-03-23

The “Hackers are watching you!” sign appears on the iPhone / iPad. It looks like a warning from Apple and calls for the installation of a protective app that will “fix” the “attacked” iPhone. The warning exactly mimics Apple’s graphic style and looks very plausible.

But don’t worry, your iphone is not affected.

Symptoms of fraud:

it appears in the Safari app on a web page that has nothing to do with Apple (here on the example gappestar.shop)

In fact, it is the activity of the web page that you visited for some reason and that wrote the window
