Interesting article: https://sneak.berlin/20201112/your-computer-isnt-yours/ Will always defend Apple against all other PC vendors. They better do something about this though. It does not look good.

Saw an article on the Microsoft News site (on my iPhone app) about antivirus software for the iPhone. Had never looked into it, so I started browsing here and on the internet. Also looked and saw that there are antivirus apps in the iPhone App store. All I got was confused! Can't find much...

I have an iPhone 8 Plus with up to date software. I have noticed that my Safari has some sites in the History that I have never visited. For example, this is going to sound very strange, but one thing that appeared was a search from the Expedia website, the page displayed a Payment for a...

Maybe I'm being paranoid but I've noticed that around 4:30-5 am our iMac or at least the USB Hub wakes up. I notice this because we have a Razor Mouse and several other devices plugged into it and they light up! Around that time. Is there any way to check for key loggers or Spyware? I've...

My last phone, a Samsung 6S, had a VPN set up on it that had to be utilizing our wifi. The way I discovered it was the fact that all our devices would freeze occasionally, all at the same time, and one day while I was on my tablet and it froze, and my phone was lying near and it made a sound...

Hello there, this is my first post here for a concern that has been going on for the past two years. I have a stock iPhone 6s that was never jailbroken or out of my possession, but somehow feel that there is spyware that has somehow installed itself remotely. I took the precaution of factory...
