The App is insecure – Patch - Everything Local Review

There appears to be problems with the level of security in the App. Today, while I was reading a local news story, a pop-up randomly appeared on my screen. The pop-up was advertising an opportunity to test a "IPhone 7." Unfortunately, the pop-up froze my screen, so therefore I was forced to press the "ok" on the Pop-up. From there, the pop-up led me to a phony apple website that announced testing for an "apple 7." Although I do not doubt that Apple is making an "apple 7," I do not believe that they have given the public the opportunity to test such devices. After I saw the pop-up, I decided to search the legitimate Apple website for such opportunities. As expected, I found no such opportunity. After I looked throughout the Apple website, I was finally convinced that the Pop-up was a scam. Fortunately, I did not give any of my personal information. So therefore, I am safe from any significant loss of money. From my knowledge of computer software, the patch app could have taken steps to protect itself from these scammers/hackers. Unfortunately, they haven't had enough concern for their users to protect them from any kind of monetary harm.
