JAKARTA iPhone is one of the devices known for its strong security. Although its safety is quite good, this phone made by Apple can still get attacks from evil parties.

Recently, some iPhone users received phishing attacks. Even though Apple has handled the problem by strengthening their system, there are actions users can take to help protect their devices.

The action, which according to 9to5mac, is very appropriate to reset the iPhone password. The reason is, bad parties can misuse Apple's ID password reset system, then make the device flooded with orders from iOS.

This attack is already classified into phishing and some users may not notice it. However, keep in mind that Apple's ID password is crucial and should not be known to anyone.

Therefore, when you receive a request to reset the password directly from the system, you must tap the Not Allow option. Always select the option if you are not changing the password from your Apple ID.

Next, avoid calls with Apple's Support name label. Currently, criminals who attack with phishing systems can already disguise themselves as official numbers from Apple. They do this with the call spoofing method.

You must refuse calls from Apple's Support as long as you never report device problems. Apple once stated that they did not make out calls, unless customers asked for it first.

Finally, you can change the number for a while. Sometimes, phishing criminals will contact their targets for several days and consecutively. By changing the phone number on Apple ID, this phishing interference will stop.
