Is it possible to get hacked from safari on your Iphone

When I was browsing a site a white badge icon popped up and asked if I wanted to go to a site. Assuming that this was malicious I went to take safari off multitask. When I did that my screen went black w/the white apple logo and a few seconds later my normal locked screen appeared. When I went back into my phone I assumed it was a virus and cleared all the cookies/history from safari. After that I spent the next couple of hours downloading avast and resorting my phone. My only concerns are if they hacked me and stole any information from my phone (that being the reason I restored my phone). My question to you guys is has this ever happened to you guys and should I still be concerned? Its been a day and I'm still shaken up.

Unless your iPhone has been jailbroken there is nothing known that can attack the iOS...and be sure to download the latest iOS, 7.0.6 as that has security patches and SSL patches.
There can be browser pop-ups, but those are from the website and not things that can self-install on an iOS device.  They can be a scary thing to deal with, however.  Basically what you did is great...I would not bother with anything like Avast.  With an experience like that, double click the home button, dismiss all recent apps by swiping the material above the icon up and away, then reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider if that appears.
Doing that stops all apps that could be running even in the background, clears all memory, and resets the iOS device.  No data or settings will be affected by doing that.

  • Getting Photos from itunes without your iphone

    hey guys sorry if this has been asked but i have recently sent my iphone in for some warrenty workd but need a few of the photos that were on the phone... is there a way i can view them without having the phone pluged in?? i have synced it a few days ago if that helps
    Anthony

    If the photos were in the camera roll, they needed to be imported to your PC as if from a digital camera.
    If they are camera roll and you did not import them, you'll need a 3rd party program that can fetch the photos from the "backup" file. I have not used one of these, but you should be able to find one by searching google/bing.
    If they were in a sync'ed folder, they should still be on your PC.
    Hope this helps....

    Is it possible to get data from a smashed/broken iPod touch 4th gen?

    - If when you connect the iPod to your computer it appears in iTunes then you can make a backup and then restore another iPod or other iOS device from that backup.
    - Otherwise you will have to go to a data recovery company.
    - When I go to the YouTube link I can't get the video to play.

    I looks to me that 515 pixels represents 200 meters, so multiply the
    x-values by 0.3885 meters/pixel to get the true x-values.  I don't
    have enough information to scale the y-axis.

    when i try to download music from dilandau i get message from safari as 'undefined'. Pl help

    I was going to check that site; however, since I got a red "not trustworthy" from WOT, I decided not to put my Mac at risk going to a questionable site. I'd recommend not going there; instead, do the right thing: buy the music from a reputable site.

    forgot icloud password, how to get it recover without any question and also alternative email because someone hacked my alternative email id. need password for using icloud hopefully i will get result from you as your earliest.

    I'm sorry, but I know nothing about iCloud email. I stayed away from iCloud email and only use iCloud for limited purposes.
    But take a look at this discussion and read the response from randers4. He is one of the iCloud experts in the Apple Support Communities.

    If that doesn't help, you might be better off posting in here where there are other more knowledgable iCloud users.

  • I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?

    Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
    Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
    Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
    This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
    BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...

  • How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

    How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone?  I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

    I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
    If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
    So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

  • Is it possible to get hacked by pressing on a link in a email that i got and am pretty sure was a hacker?

    got an email from what looked like it was pay pal telling me that my payment to such and such has gone thru only prob was i didn't buy anything .. so i clicked on the item description to see what it was thinking maybe my husband got something... turns out he hasn't so i checked my pay pal a/c which seems to be fine .. no such invoice exists... so my question is ... did i open myself to a hacker by opening the link ??? how can i check my iMac ??
    thanks

    Your iMac is pretty safe from Apple's Security as the experts here will tell you. However it is possible to get malware etc. but very unlikely. I have got similar e-mails from pay pal, UPS, Credit cards ( even got one from ez-paid tolls) etc. Be sure to never give them any personal information. Don't click on any attachment or open the emails for 100% security from these so call legal outfits. Always go direct to pay pal or others web site and sign in to check your account. These things are usually phishing for personal info and will not affect your iMac. If you had a Windows Machine you may very well get something from virus to malware. Of course we could all have troubles from the this stuff but your iMac is very safe. I have never gotten anything.
