I’ve used 3u tools quite a few times and nothing bad has happened to me. I honestly don’t think it’s malware

#

Lots of tech repair stores use it too

#

I’m not gonna say I’m sure because I don’t know everything. About it but it seems fine

#

If you’re super worried just change your Apple ID password

If it contained malware Apple would have removed it from the App Store.

It’s a download from another site for windows and Mac

#

Yea

wraith field
#

What browser you used by chance?

#

Doesn’t chrome check downloads for malware?

#

Just checked it does.

#

If it didn’t detect malware it should be fine

#

Hm

#

Like Shelby said, I can’t say for sure whether it’s malware or not

#

If your browser didn’t indicate that it was malware it’s probably fine.

#

If you’re worried, then you can uninstall it

#

And just stop using it

#

Alright

#

Yeah I saw

#

Hopefully so.

#

Considering this is official Apple forums yeah probably exacerbated

#

Exaggerated*

You have to restore it via Finder / iTunes / Apple Devices to fully remove the Jailbreak.

If you are worried about 3uTools stealing your data, don't worry

If you're downloaded the app from the app store, there is no need to worry. Apple strictly checks all applications. However, it is true that 4-5 years ago there were examples of such applications stealing data. If you don't give permission to see your bank details ,or photos and videos, the chances of this app or any other app stealing them are extremely low.

if you're worried I'll steal your pictures, don't worry, they'll be ONLY targeted attack
if your bank details are stolen then you don't need to worry it would be better if it was stolen but if the downloader was from the app store then there is no need to worry
your data, IP address, etc. all sites store it the same way

the application may not be secure. Please think if anyone out of 10 million people would stand out? let's stay realistic. Usually, these data are uploaded to a server and from there they are blocked within 1.2 months (in good situation)

#

u don't afraid of the pictures ,videos?

#

or the contacts

#

ohh

#

I understand your fear

#

Oh @wraith field can i get a question
There was been any incident by viruses stealed pictures or videos? Cus that is the one info i don't know? All I knew was that they were targeted attack in the background? Ever happened with random users? And in principle discord is stealed pics videos before

Like if your device is jailbroken

#

never happened to me

#

Or your donwloaded one file ,or virus

#

Look if your don't get a text SPIWARE text , i think you don't need to worry and you're safe

#

i guess

trail wolf
#

take it to a professional I think

#

So there were pictures, videos, bank data, etc. on the iPhone 6?

wraith field
#

So i'm not sure

trail wolf
#

i mean is that happened to other users like in the news or something?

#

i meant that

wraith field
#

I'm not sure, I haven't heard much of it

trail wolf
#

much?

#

1 ?

wraith field
#

I can't recall any.

#

@trail wolf

trail wolf
#

oh okey

#

can you ask someone?

#

I want to explain to @topaz herald

wraith field
#

I'm not sure who to ask as I don't know anyone who has a jailbroken device

trail wolf
#

so if you're not jailbroke your device there's no virus ever?

wraith field
#

iOS isn't virus proof, but it's a lot harder to get one

trail wolf
#

oh i understand now

wraith field
#

Good 👍🏼

trail wolf
#

it happened to me once that I donwloaded somethin then I reinstalled the devices, and after the reset I took it to a software virus scanner? then there was no virus in the downloaded file?

#

no jailbroken
