Topic: Clicking Links Malware/Keylogger Question (Read 343 times)

if you dont click on links why you are here . the internet is mostly made up of links and not all links are bad or about fake ways to make money online . a link is fake if the offer is almost unrealistic but not all links that you click will automaticaly hack/scam you but some will require you to enter you details and this part is obvious .

i know someone that download apps outside the store because his reason is its free but one time his phone get laggy and blackout  . i found out that it it got infected by a virus so i reformat his device  . sure he can save money from pirated apps but they have hidden dangers that can cost us more

I don't do links, I don't click links, that's a fact and why people do it is because mostly they crave for free stuffs, things they don't work for but hoped for, scam links and malware links always comes with good offers just for the greed to make a click,

if I have to download a app on my android phone I let the official website guide me to the real app on playstore

Is there a way to make sure your windows laptop and iphone has zero malware/keylogger?  I only use windows defender with my laptop.

For apple iphone i did use avast to do virus scan but it doesn't seem to do anything?

Strict or not, I don't care. It is their responsibility to manage their stores but as a user I don't want to put my destiny on their hands and their responsibility.

Unlike Google Play Store, Apple App Store has strict rules and guidelines and intensively check each submitted app. This makes it hard for hackers to upload malicious applications to target iOS users.

I heard many cases where people download wrong wallet or click links and then your wallets get hacked whether its a wallet on their computer or on their phone.  Even when i watch youtube videos, you see some ppl on comments section post links where if you click on it... you can get malware/virus.  I seen some ppl say their phone got virus because of clicking on that.



Now i have a few questions on this.



1.  If you use an iphone and not android, you can still get hacked/malware/keylogger on it?  Imagine you download an app on the app store which is not legit.  So your phone can get hacked and keylogger etc?  I heard this can happen with android with the google play but what about IOS with iphone?  So that means if you check your email, that hacker has access to your entire device?  I always heard you can't or its so hard to get malware on iphones as oppose to androids.  Is this true or false?  Obviously dont click on links like that but if you do, is any wallet you have on your iphone in jeopardy?  What about using it in general because when you log in accounts on your phone, are you screwed because of keylogger?  I heard pc... well you are screwed.



2.  Now when you click on links on your pc that uses windows... obviously same thing.  But say you want to sign up for a site... say its a gambling site whether its poker or sports or anything like that.  I know there are ppl that want to sign you up and you can then get something extra because you used an agent/affliate and you have to click on their link to get tracked to them.  Now how safe is that?  If that affliate is legit... well you dont have to worry if they have lot of players.  But couldnt they easily put keylogger/malware on it and you are screwed?  Is there a way to check if a link you will click on from someone is safe from keylogger/malware/virus before you click on it?

1. How come TikTok is available in Appstore when it was clearly proven by many that it is a data collecting app, it is not a keylogger per se but the fact that it collects sensitive information on your phone is very alarming because we all know that phones are our private devices so it is a jackpot for sensitive information. I agree with the fact that Appstore is very strict regarding their application submission but there are some that will slip the cracks no matter what.

1. Viruses on iPhones are extremely uncommon. If it's not jailbroken the selection of apps you have access to is even more limited and vetted. Even more so, if you uninstall the offending app, it should be safe. Phones work more like a sandbox with their apps. The worst issue I could see here realistically would be to download a malicious wallet that simply steals funds. But not a full device compromise as it could happen on windows.

1. No matter what OS you have hackers has been adaptive as always to environment the want to deceive. Moreover, app submission on AppStore has far more strict compliance and we can judge that IOS apps are more safe compared to Android apps.

2. Just avoid scammy looking websites and as always we can't say that we may not come across on them but before I jumped into a site I always check reviews and the legitimacy of it. Always on your antivirus or even for Windows Defender as long as it's updated.
