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

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

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
