您还记得购买第一部 iPhone 之前的生活吗？Apple 方便的小型移动设备已经取得了长足的进步，并在此过程中改变了许多人的生活。
技术进步不断孕育新的创造力并探索 iPhone 的新使用方式。不幸的是，这也带来了更大的威胁您的安全和隐私的可能性。
当您想到您的 iPhone 上可能拥有的所有东西时，我敢肯定间谍软件甚至不会列入清单，但它是一个非常现实的威胁。如今，似乎所有带有电池和屏幕的东西都会屈服于数字攻击。在社交媒体时代，它只会加强了解您所面临的问题以及如何最好地解决它的需求。
不同类型的间谍软件(The Different Types Of Spyware)
当涉及到您的 iPhone 时，您需要注意三种主要的间谍软件类型。隐藏的间谍应用程序将是最常见的形式，其次是伪装攻击。
这两种都是恶意代码，可以通过应用程序和各种链接渗透到您的设备中。第三个将使用您备份到 iCloud 的数据攻击您的 iPhone。
间谍应用程序(The Spy App)
间谍应用程序是一种必须安装在 iPhone 上的间谍软件。这可以由您自己完成，也可以由碰巧拿到您手机的陌生人完成。在您吓坏之前，App Store中的应用程序没有间谍软件。Apple非常擅长审查恶意应用程序，因此它们不会向公众传播。
相反，您将不得不从阴暗的第三方网站下载并安装应用程序。这也意味着您的 iPhone 必须先越狱，然后才能进行任何操作。因此，如果您最近认为某个不受信任的应用程序看起来太好了以至于不能放弃，那么您可能无意中将间谍软件引入了您的 iPhone。
如果不使用像Certo iPhone(Certo iPhone)这样的反间谍软件工具，这种特殊的间谍软件非常难以检测。
面具攻击(A Masque Attack)
与间谍应用程序不同，伪装攻击会从受信任的来源侵入您的 iPhone。Apple擅长防止此类事情的发生，但它们并非万无一失。有时，间谍软件可以像忍者一样潜入，只在最近的更新期间等待它的时间并进行攻击。
面具攻击(Masque Attack)非常狡猾，因为它通常看起来只是另一个应用程序更新。只需一次妥协的更新就可以将您的 iPhone 彻底翻转。为了最好地保护自己免受其中一种攻击，请确保对更新信息进行彻底检查。如果一个名字或头衔看起来有点狡猾，就说“不”。
iCloud 渗透者(iCloud Infiltrator)
(Access)发生 iCloud备份(Backup)攻击不需要访问您的 iPhone。相反，这种特殊类型的间谍软件是您的 iCloud 凭证安全性差的结果。黑客所要做的就是找出您的 iCloud 帐户的用户名和密码，您备份到服务器的所有内容都可以获取。
这种特殊的间谍软件比其他间谍软件更难检测，除非您密切关注您曾经备份到 iCloud 的每一件事。只要您的设备配置为备份到 iCloud，您的所有文本、通话记录和应用历史记录都会暴露出来。
如果您认为您已经以这种方式受到威胁，请立即更改您的密码。您还将受益于启用双因素身份验证(enabling two-factor authentication)。
之后(Afterward)，即使您觉得自己没有问题，我强烈建议您通知Apple 支持(Apple Support)。向他们填写(Fill)所发生的事情，因为他们可能能够跟踪前进中的任何异常情况。
常见的间谍软件症状(Common Spyware Symptoms)
间谍软件攻击的症状可以模仿 iPhone 的其他故障问题。话虽如此，以下任何一种情况都可能表明您的手机可能遭到入侵：
- 间谍软件会使 iPhone 的处理器过度工作，从而迅速耗尽您的资源并导致电池过热。即使没有运行任何占用大量资源的应用程序，电池也会不断变热，这可能表明存在间谍软件问题。
- 流氓(Rogue)应用程序是一个真正的问题，因此如果您发现您的 iPhone 在未经您许可的情况下不断将自身连接到互联网，则可能是某个应用程序已经占据了上风。请特别(Pay)注意这一点，因为有问题的应用程序很可能会尝试自行更新，从而给您带来更多问题。
- 不断收到您的Apple(Apple)帐户的登录请求可能而且应该引起您的关注。即使不是间谍软件问题，这也可能表明您的设备存在某种问题。如果这恰好是间谍软件的情况，则很有可能有人拥有您的凭据并试图使用它们。如果您注意到这一点，请立即更改您的密码（从其他设备）并联系Apple 支持(Apple Support)。
预防技巧(Prevention Tips)
所有设备都容易受到偶尔的间谍软件攻击，无论Apple多么努力地阻止它发生。最好的保护是尽职调查。
永远不要让您的 iPhone 无人看管，始终将 iOS 更新到最新版本，并选择Touch ID而不是使用密码。练习(Practice)这些保护措施并为自己节省一些未来的悲伤。
How To Determine if Your iPhone Has Spyware
Can you rеmembеr what life was like before purchaѕіng уour first iPhone? Apple’s handy little mobile device has come a long way and changed many lives іn the procеss.
Advancements in technology continue to breed new creativity and explore new ways in which an iPhone can be used. Unfortunately, this also brings a stronger potential for compromising your security and privacy.
When you think of all the things you could have on your iPhone, I’m sure that spyware wouldn’t even make the list, but it is a very real threat. It seems that everything with a battery and a screen can succumb to a digital attack nowadays. In the age of social media, it only strengthens the need to understand what you’re up against and how best to tackle it.
The Different Types Of Spyware
There are three primary spyware types you’ll need to look out for when it comes to your iPhone. A hidden spy app would be the most common form, followed by a masque attack.
Both of these are malicious code that can infiltrate your device through apps and various links. The third will attack your iPhone using the data that you have backed up to iCloud.
The Spy App
A spy app is a type of spyware that has to be installed on your iPhone. This could either be done by yourself or by a stranger who happens to get their hands on your phone. Before you freak out, the apps in the App Store don’t have spyware. Apple is very good at vetting malicious apps, so they don’t make it through to the public.
Instead, you will have had to download and install an app from a shady third-party website. This also means that your iPhone will have had to be jailbroken before anything can take place. So, if you’ve recently decided that an untrusted app looked too good to pass up, you may have inadvertently invited spyware onto your iPhone.
This particular spyware is incredibly difficult to detect without the use of an anti-spyware tool like Certo iPhone.
A Masque Attack
Unlike a spy app, a masque attack makes its way onto your iPhone from a trusted source. Apple is great at preventing these kinds of things from happening, but they aren’t infallible. Sometimes spyware can creep in like a ninja, biding its time and attacking only during a recent update.
A Masque Attack is incredibly sneaky as it will often look like just another app update. It only takes one compromised update to turn your iPhone inside out. To best protect yourself from one of these attacks, ensure that you perform a thorough check of the update information. If a name or title looks a little dodgy, just say “No”.
iCloud Infiltrator
Access to your iPhone isn’t necessary for an iCloud Backup attack to occur. Instead, this particular type of spyware is the result of poor security with your iCloud credentials. All a hacker has to do is figure out your username and password to your iCloud account, and everything you’ve backed up to the server is there for the taking.
This particular spyware is even harder to detect than the others unless you keep tabs on every single thing you’ve ever backed up to the iCloud. So long as your device is configured to backup to iCloud, all of your texts, call logs, and app history is exposed.
If you think you’ve been compromised in this way, change your password immediately. You would also benefit from enabling two-factor authentication.
Afterward, even if you feel that you’re in the clear, I strongly suggest informing Apple Support. Fill them in on what has happened as they might be able to track anything out of the ordinary moving forward.
Common Spyware Symptoms
The symptoms of a spyware attack can mimic other faulty problems with your iPhone. That being said, any of the following could be an indication that your phone may be compromised:
- Spyware can overwork an iPhone’s processor, rapidly draining your resources and causing the battery to overheat. A battery that is constantly getting hot even without running any resource-heavy apps, could indicate a spyware problem.
- Rogue apps are a real concern so if you find that your iPhone is constantly connecting itself to the internet without your permission, an app may have taken hold. Pay extra close attention to this as it’s quite possible the app in question will attempt to update itself, causing you further problems down the line.
- Constantly receiving login requests for your Apple account can, and should, be of concern to you. Even if it’s not a spyware issue, this could indicate that there’s some sort of problem with your device. The chances are that if this happens to be a spyware situation, someone has your credentials and is attempting to use them. If you notice this, change your password immediately (from a different device) and contact Apple Support.
Prevention Tips
All devices are prone to the occasional spyware attack, no matter how hard Apple attempts to combat it from happening. The best protection is to do your due diligence.
Never leave your iPhone unattended, always keep iOS updated to the latest version, and opt for Touch ID over the use of a password. Practice these protective measures and save yourself some future grief.
