iPhones most at risk from hackers

A study by Case24 has highlighted those who are most likely to be targeted by hackers in the UK.

They analysed the amount of monthly Google searches to see how many people are looking for information on how to hack different apps and phone brands.

The data showed that the average monthly searches for hacking Apple's iPhones was 9,050, Samsung phones was 680, Huawei was 200, Nokia 120, LG was 100 and 60 for Sony devices.

This means that an iPhone owner is 151 times more at risk of having their phone hacked than a Sony owner.

Their study also found, however, that a shocking 12,050 people in the UK are wondering how to hack into somebody's Instagram account each month.

Other popularly searched apps include Facebook (11,590), Snapchat (6,680), Whatsapp (5,010), Youtube (1,940), Amazon (1,190), Netflix (800), TikTok (390) and Only Fans (360)
