Default honey, I swear... it wasn't me! (iPhone)

Sickos can plant porn on YOUR iPhone

https://www.the-sun.com/tech/3452390...ock-strangers/

PERVS can put pornography on your iPhone by exploiting one of the gadget's best features.

Sex pests can make use of Apple AirDrop to flood your phone with inappropriate images and videos.

You'll always receive a request message for AirDrop.

But it's not without problems.

For a start, you might accidentally accept a message and receive adult materials.

And the preview could contain pornographic content, which may be disturbing in itself.

Sickos could also send you loads of media in a bid to hide their dodgy snaps from the preview.

In any case, we'd recommend declining all AirDrops from strangers.

And you should use one of the restricted AirDrop modes to prevent incidents in the future.
How to turn off AirDrop

First, go into Settings.

The navigate to General, then scroll down and tap AirDrop.

This will give you a list of options.

A catch-all way to stop rogue AirDrops is to choose Receiving Off.

This will block all AirDrops until you re-activate it.

But we wouldn't recommend that, because it means you won't get AirDrops – even from friends and family.

That's not great, as AirDrop is actually very useful.

The second option is Contacts Only, which is the best use of AirDrop.

This means people in your contacts list can send you AirDrops, but no one else.

So a friend can pass photos and videos to you, but not a stranger on a train.

The third and final option is Everyone.

This is for maximum convenience, and lets anyone AirDrop you.

But it also comes with more risk, because you could get a request from almost anyone with an iPhone nearby.

You can keep AirDrop on Contacts Only, and only change it to Everyone briefly, for when you need it.

Better yet, disable it until you need it.

Or you can tell crApple to eat a bag of dicks and go with Android, root it, and get rid of all the google bullshit.

Some years ago I got an email from a coworker with an attachment on it. Naturally I opened it and there they were. The biggest set of floppy jugs you could even imagine bouncing up and down.

My monitors faced the hallway in the office so anyone walking by would have seen it. I fumble ****ed around like a lunatic trying to find the little x in the upper right corner to close the damn thing.

There's definitely some weird shit going on. Was reviewing notifications tab on my anti-virus a bit ago and found two redirections prevented in the last week. Very unusual, haven't changed my viewing habits, and not seen this before.

That's a reasonable assumption, but no, judging by the names of the blocked websites it was probably an attempt to inject adware.
