So guys , I just wanted to step by and tell you something . iOS 16.5.1 installes an incredibly important security update . There is a Spyware called „TriangleDB“. It can do , whatever a Spyware can do( track your location , spy on your camera , steal your passwords etc.). So that doesn’t sound too wild so far doesn’t it ? . It gets better . Believe it or not , this spyware can infect your phone via iMessage . It sounds crazy I know , never heard of this method of infection before . It’s called „zero click exploit“. Simply receiving an iMessage from the attacker , will infect your phone . So , you are probably not infected , but if you are , here are the steps to get rid of this nasty spyware . Step 1, update to iOS 16.5.1, step 2 , restart your phone ( the attacker will have to send another infected message to reinfect you ), step 3 , reset your phone to factory settings. I know my English is shit guys , and god know I’m not the best at explaining stuff . Just wanted to warn you guys . Just Google „TriangleDB“ . i have read the rules . Have s great day guys
