To help users identify and avoid telecommunications fraud, Apple updated the Apple support page in July: "Identify and avoid social engineering fraud, including phishing messages, fake support calls, and other scams", detailing effective measures that can be taken when encountering telecommunications fraud while using Apple devices, and sharing some major forms and methods of fraud.
Apple's system has strengthened its anti-fraud efforts
In the latest iOS version, Apple has strengthened its built-in fraud call and text message identification mechanism. Through machine learning algorithms, the system can intelligently analyze caller numbers, text message content, and even combine historical user feedback data to quickly identify and mark suspicious fraud messages. When a user receives a suspected fraud call or text message, the system will directly display a warning icon on the interface to remind the user to handle it with caution, effectively reducing the risk of users being deceived.
In addition to direct fraudulent information interception, iOS has also further strengthened the protection of user privacy. For example, the new system allows users to more finely control the access permissions of applications, such as location information, camera, microphone, etc., to prevent sensitive data from being improperly collected by malicious applications. At the same time, communication tools such as iMessage have also added more advanced encryption technology to ensure the security of information transmission, making it difficult for fraudsters to commit fraud by intercepting communication content.
Apple also regularly pushes the latest security alerts and anti-fraud knowledge to users through its official channels, such as the Apple Support app, official website, and built-in system prompts. These contents not only cover the latest fraud methods and identification techniques, but also provide detailed operation steps to help users establish correct security awareness and learn to protect themselves.
Users can report spam with one click
In daily operations, you can identify and avoid social engineering fraud in the following ways. First, upgrade your Apple device to the latest operating system, including available security updates, to obtain Apple's latest and highest level of protection against fake FaceTime calls or other forms of security risks; report suspicious calls or iMessage messages to Apple through email or other means to help Apple further intercept; enable two-factor authentication for your Apple ID and update your contact information in a timely manner.
Please note that Apple will not ask you to provide your Apple ID password or two-factor authentication code in any form; do not disclose personal data or security information, such as passwords or verification codes, and do not enter this information on web pages directed by others; report suspicious calls or messages to local law enforcement agencies in a timely manner or call the anti-fraud hotline 96110 to report suspicious calls or messages. In addition, when you receive strange or harassing messages, you can also directly click "Report Spam" to report potential risk information to Apple.
