Phone security check

Concerned that something on your phone is not right?

iWorkshop can inspect a phone with suspicious apps, unusual pop-ups, scam-related access concerns or unexpected account activity. We explain practical next steps, including backup, updates and restoration options where appropriate.

Technician assessing a mobile phone

Do not send banking, email, Apple, Google or other account passwords through this website.

What we can assess

Practical checks after a suspicious event.

Every situation is different. Tell us what you noticed and when it began, then we can discuss a sensible device-side response.

Suspicious apps or remote access

Review of unfamiliar applications and signs that remote-access software may have been installed.

Pop-ups, messages and account activity

Help with unwanted pop-ups, unusual messages, browser changes or unexpected device behaviour.

Backups and updates

Discussion of backup, software updates and practical account-protection steps.

Safe restoration options

Where suitable, we explain factory reset and safe restoration options before any work is approved.

Private information

Passwords are not collected through the website. Any temporary access needed for approved work is handled separately with the owner’s permission.

What we cannot guarantee

We do not offer forensic investigation or guarantee that a device or account is completely secure.

If money or identity is at risk

Act quickly and use the right support service.

Contact your bank or card provider immediately if financial information may be affected. You can also report a scam to Scamwatch, seek identity and cyber support from IDCARE, or report cybercrime through ReportCyber.

If there is an immediate threat to life or safety, call 000. iWorkshop can help with a device assessment, but banks, government services and law enforcement handle financial, identity and crime reports.
