Security on iPhone4.

tarajayne

I have an iPhone 4 but am concerned that it's not as secure as it should be. My bank has phoned and someone has got hold of my CC details. I haven't used it in a while so was racking my brains to see how then realised my Apple iStore account uses it and I bought a couple of apps recently. Is there an app that anyone would recommend to make the phone more secure? Thanks.

Maybe you've installed a dodgy app? Just a thought!

Possibly the best way is to change your itunes account password!

Otherwise, don't know of any apps for security or that!

I did read a story about iTunes accounts being hacked, but this wasn't for mining credit card details - it was only for purchases in iTunes (Read here). As far as I know though, once your CC details are stored with Apple they aren't required for an App purchase.

There are lots of other scams on the go just now though. Have you used your card to get cash at any point - there are lots of card phishing and phreaking scams just now (for instance, readers and inserts in cash machines). Also, have you made any purchases where the card has been swiped but (supposedly) failed?

No, it's a credit card so I hardly use it, only online and not recently. Well it's stopped anyway, and the transaction was declined so just have to be careful.
