But here is an eye-opener \u2013 even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/apple-immune-no-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">iOS users could easily fall prey to cybercriminals<\/a>. While Apple keeps malicious apps off their App Store (although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/fraudulent-apps-on-apples-app-store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">fraudulent apps<\/a> are prevalent), no one really can keep users protected from well-designed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.securelist.com\/en\/blog\/8108\/Apple_of_discord\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">phishing schemes<\/a>.\u00a0 It\u2019s even more disturbing if you take into account the fact that 38 percent of mobile device owners use it to conduct financial transactions on a regular basis, according to recent research by B2B International.<\/p>\n<p>The most common (and effective) phishing scheme involves your Apple ID. A fake \u201csupport letter\u201d or some popup notification on a website leads you to the Apple support site, where you\u2019re asked to provide your Apple ID and eventually your credit card data to verify your account. The problem is \u2013 this letter is not from Apple support, the site is fake and you\u2019re handing your valuable data to criminals. Other fraud schemes and fake sites (ranging from Facebook to Citibank) are active too, so users need to be protected from harm and stress caused by phishers. To provide this protection, Kaspersky Lab just released the free app Kaspersky Safe Browser for iOS, which makes stress-free browsing possible.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullquote\">To provide \u00a0protection from harm and phishers, Kaspersky Lab just released the free app Kaspersky Safe Browser for iOS, which makes stress-free browsing possible.<\/div>\n<p>Our browser effectively prevents you from visiting phishing sites, by checking every link you click and every address you type in with our cloud-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/ksn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Kaspersky Security Network<\/a>, which contains threat information collected worldwide and updated in real-time.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get rid of other unwanted (or unsafe for work) content as well, Kaspersky Safe Browser can help.
