Keep getting phishing and spam notifications (threats blocked by Netgear Armor)

Dear forum,

 

Yesterday, inadvertently I opened an email which suppossedly contained a virus/malaware on my iPhone XS Max connected to my Orbi WiFi Home Network. Since then I keep receiving notifications from Netgear Armor that 9 threats have been blocked... All of them being either for Phishing or Spam and all of them being generated by my iPhone device.

 

The sites that generate such alerts are:

 

Phishing:

http://s1.node103.iifab.com:3333/api/smartlink

http://clicks.rtad.io/tracking/click

 

Spam:

https://go.coralsands.xyz

 

All those sites suppossedly were found on my iPhone.

 

I have already deleted the history and website data from my iPhone as well as blocked Pop-ups, however, the spam and phishing threat alarms keep being reported by Netgear Armor (at 12:50 PM, 01:39 AM, 2:20 AM, 07:59 AM and the last one received at 08:11 AM)...

 

I have tried to find any related information on the www without any luck so far and I am worried that my iPhone somehow got infected with a virus, malaware, etc.; so before resorting to wiping out all the data on my iPhone (to factory settings) before restoring it to the latest backup I have; I wanted to double check first with you and see what else can be done?

 

Thanks for taking the time to read such a long post and I hope to hear back from you soon.

 

Any comments are more than welcome!

 

Best regards.

I agree with @FURRYe38 that people who watch the Armor forum are more likely to have experienced something similar to this and have suggestions.  If your iPhone is anything like the iPhones of people I know, nearly everything is "in the cloud" and will be restored after a factory reset.  I know someone who drowned her iPhone (it was a funny story, except for the consequences), went to the Apple Store, bought a new iPhone, and they restored everything to the new phone.

 

You might also Google for iPhone and the name of this supposed infection and see if "Apple People" have recommendations on what to do.

Thanks to both @FURRYe38 and @CrimpOn for the suggestion.

 

I have already posted this issue in the Armor Forum.

 

Thanks to both of you also for the quick response.

 

 

Best regards.
