iPhone infect connected Windows hotspot devices?

[Oblivion99]

Dear all

If an iPhone has Windows malware on it, and I then use the iPhone as hotspot / internet sharing. Can the Windows malware from the iPhone hosting hotspot then infect connected Windows systems that use the iPhones hotspot?

No matter what is there a connection between the iPhone hosting the hostspot and the devices using the hotspot.

I know that iPhones can’t get malware etc., but they could still store the data of the Windows malware.

Thank you

Yes there is always that possibility.

Plus pass it on to other non-windows system and they may pass it on to Windows based systems.

I know that iPhones can’t get malware etc.,

Common mis conception there are not as many strands if virus written for the iOS or Linux OS since they are not a widely used as Windows base system are.
