IOS has some known vulnerabilities, so it's theoretically possible for
an iPhone to be hacked. Since the means of accessing an unjailbroken
iPhone are restricted though, it's very unlikely your iPhone was hacked,
and there really isn't anything you can or should need to do on your
iPhone. It's much more likely that your Windows XP system has been
infected with malware or your email account has been compromised
somehow. I'd suggest running the usual anti-malware scans on your
Windows system and changing your email account's password. BTW, the fact
that the message says it's from your iPhone means nothing. The contents
of the message, and the headers as well, can easily be spoofed.

Hi, everyone. First of all, if this has been covered in past messages, I
apologize. Since I have had no email concerns relating to email on my
IPhoneI just deleted those messages with email in the subject line, so I
may have missed something important.
Now to my question. I receive work related email both on my
IPhone and on my windows XP computer at work. This evening I got a call
from a friend who received an email message with a link in it. The
message was supposedly sent from me and had my name in the “from” line.
. At the end of the message it said “sent from my IPhone”. He also
told me he’s gotten the same type of email messages from someone else
that works with me. That person doesn’t have an IPhone. The question
is: can an IPhone be hacked? Is there anything I need to do? Sorry if
this sounds stupid. I don’t want to send anyone infected items, nor do
I want my IPhone to be infected. I use gmail on an IPhone 4S. Thanks
for any thoughts.
God bless!
