Thankfully, the company is mostly fast to react when issues do make themselves known. So if there is a successful attack, it’s harder to deal with”. It’s not possible for security vendors to develop software that can protect iOS in the way we can for Android. “However, it also makes it hard for defenders. “Since Apple strictly controls the operating system, it makes it hard for attackers – everything has to go through Apple”, said Emm. This can make things a little trickier when malware does rear its head. “This effectively means that only sophisticated targeted attackers have the expertise, time and money to develop, or buy, exploit code to target iOS”.īecause of the way that iOS is built, Apple doesn’t get a whole lot of help when it comes to protecting users. “This doesn’t mean that iOS is inherently more secure per se, just that attackers must do more work in order to compromise it”, explained Emm. IPhones may be targeted less often, but this also means that attacks can be more advanced. However, the flip-side of this is that cybercriminals can exploit this to trick people into downloading malware”.
they can download apps from any marketplace or any websites. To handset manufacturers and network providers to customise the operating system to those who use it because they are not controlled – e.g. “This is because, for attackers, this offers the path of least resistance. “The vast majority of mobile malware we see is targeted at Android”, said Emm, speaking of iOS phones in general. While iPhones and iOS devices aren’t without their risks, Kaspersky principal researcher David Emm was quick to tell us where most mobile malware is found. What are the biggest risks for iPhone 13 owners? We reached out to security experts from Kaspersky and Pixel Privacy to find out more about the common security threats iPhone users should watch out for and what precautions we can take to keep our data safe. Here’s what we learned. After thorough testing by our team of experts, all four phones received glowing 4.5/5 star reviews, but a great design and feature set doesn’t automatically equal a safe phone. It’s been a few months since we shared our thoughts on the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
