Apple phone may be hacked.

My apple phone is telling me that it is being hacked, and recommending I purchased an app to deal with it.

I don't know if this is a fishing expedition or legit.

I know we have talked about this before. But I'm wondering what is seen as a good app to get for keeping bad actors away from my phone and data?

I've heard of McPhee and Norton. Are they good sources for the protection I need?
And others?
Is there a way to check to see If The phone is being hacked.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Cheers Richard

Where is the message coming from?

My guess is the app is part of the hack.

Thanks Chris, that's been my suspicion also, message come in with poorly spelled words etc.

Good suggestion Bob, have done that now. Will have to see what happens now.

Cheers Richard
