Spyware

Do you regularly check your phone for spyware? Your phone can be infected with spyware from a simple text message that you don't even click on. Pegasus, the most well known spyware, allows a remote user to turn on your microphone, camera, read your messages, look through your photos, etc.

Power down at least once a day.

I don’t know of a way to detect spyware on an iPhone. The antivirus apps in the store are very basic and don’t do much of anything. I think there are organizations that can check your phone for Pegasus and other infections.

IVerify says it does. The spyware industry is fracturing though with lots of new spyware being sold. I know amnesty also does - I'm sure now there are a lot more people who should be concerned about it.

My info is just not valuable enough to waste time, energy or money to protect.

How do you check for this (I have an iPhone)?
