Compromised iphone
I am posting with the same problem users @Blackbird11xx and @iphone888abc both experienced with the ability to remotely control my phone despite factory resets and new sim cards, I am trying to find out if either user had a resolution to their issues? My iCloud was breached to start this entire mess but a brand new phone with brand new email and brand new icloud that did not bring anything from the original compromised device over to the new one has the new device with the same exact issues. There has been Reddit posts I have engaged in that discuss kernel privileges and radio waves to breach devices, an apple support employee experienced the attack and couldn’t get real
help from apple resolving it, there are zero day attacks on iPhones, its just less likely to happen than other phones, why would hacking groups making tens of millions give up their hacks for the apple bounty? One group that was busted made an estimated $68mil, ways more than the bounty apple has for hands off hacking proof.
I was vindicated by the apple employee though who himself admittedly thought customers were crazy when he received a few calls like the situation he ended up encountering. They are able to remote access the phone and while I was in the Apple Store showed the manager proof that I was not touching the phone and someone was navigating through it but the only solution offered was factory reset which did not help. I am desperate for help because I do not have money to buy new phones, I keep this one in lockdown mode and over a month this has gone on without any end site. My carrier and apple both have blamed each other for the problems and in the end I get no where. I assumed this was a SIM swapping scam, but they don’t even have to go that far when they can enable focus and screen time to then have your phone “unavailable” while diverting the calls & 2FA to themselves or simply watching everything you do on the phone. They also infiltrated my home network so I have no home internet and a compromised laptop that I can’t use to try to fix things. This has made me incredibly paranoid as I have had calls rerouted to the hackers that I thought was AT&T and other important companies by which they’ve gained access to sensitive account info. They even got into the apple store’s Mac my phone connected to trying to wipe it as well as the store’s phone they use to do business on as they let me borrow the store phone to call AT&T when I asked due to not being able to use my own compromised phone and they diverted that call to themselves as it was a Wi-Fi phone. I have proof and witnesses yet people will call me crazy still I know. I have fbi and local police reports without any forward movement to stop this there. I have had me mental health EXTREMELY & immensely negatively affected by all this. Where to go and what to do when brand new phone lines phones emails and apple ids end up compromised exactly the same, I do not know. I do not have anyone on a personal level capable or who would want to do this kinda thing either, no stalking, this is I’m assuming for financial exploitation and theft but I have nothing and so far to my knowledge they’ve not gotten anything, but I have limited ways to safely check my accounts or get on the internet at all. It’s a nightmare with no end in site. I need real help not someone saying it’s not possible because it most definitely is when you do a simple google search, IMSI devices exist & my passwords being leaked in the dark web when I didn’t realize it I believe gave them the in to breach my email and iCloud at exactly the same moment, so I know what I should’ve done to prevent this but it’s too late for all that now and little is out there on how to stop this once it’s happened. I contacted a cybersecurity company who said $2500 per device to fix it, I couldn’t even afford the $200 I had to scrounge up to get a new phone when they locked me out of the other device, it’s been 6 weeks of literal worst experience ever because our entire lives require the internet, I am doing everything I can in person but there’s so much you can’t do like that. I need real help please.
