i updated all my apple kit this morning

I received a text to update my Apple pay details as it has been suspended how do I know its not a scam text :shrug:

Could be a scam

Think it is, just ignoring it

there is no issue with apple pay

If the link (url) you were sent looks unofficial and non-Apple it is a scam.

Android says hi

:hee:

android has been subject to very similar security issues over time, it's the nature of the game, particularly with a war going on

cheers, yeah looking at it again I think it is a scam

I read that if you don’t update the hackers can get total access to your iPhone..

Mine has my LIFE on it ..

I haven’t enough storage space to install the update though !!

Are they scaremongering !??

the specific issue is related to safari and if you visit a malicious website. If you dont visit dodgy sites there is no threat

Ok that’s a relief ..

Can I just go INCOGNITO or use a VPN to be extra careful ?

Also - On our PC

I do use a foreign mp3 site for buying and downloading albums very cheaply - I top up funds using PayPal


I also ‘borrow’ songs off YouTube using a few YouTube download sites

Oh ****, it's awful isnt it...the 2 seconds it takes to enter youtube and play your favourite tunes..

Omg, if only this internet thing was faster.:fist:

No idea what you are on about .,

I download songs and burn CDs and put the songs on my memory stick

I just managed to update but then got a suspicious text as well

How did they know I’d just updated ?
