New IOS update stops hack

Accessing your Device After an Update:

If the most-recent update allows someone to access your device(while it has a passcode), then that is of major concern.

So, Report this to Apple:

Do your Part: Provide Apple with feedback on this, letting them know about this issue.  Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is occurring, and what bug fixes to include in updates to come. Apple will know nothing of you occurrence, if you don't report it to them.

1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
2. Select: "Bug Report" for the "Feedback Type"
3. Comment: that this all began after installing an update. Include the URL of this thread.
4. Proceed from there as necessary

Provide More:

No one hacked your iPhone. So, what exactly has occurred, leading you to this conclusion of it being hacked? If the most-recent update allows someone to access your device(while it has a passcode), then that is of major concern.

Report this to Apple:

As I mentioned, remote this to Apple. Provide the URL of each of your screenshots, when adding the comments (step 3.).

Trail cams. Or wired cams.

Cheap (Wi-Fi or wired) cams are inherently blurry. 2K in close proximity works, 2K with optical zoom is okay outside, 4K and higher is better.

Fiber for any necessary underground communications runs, preferably. This mostly for lightning.

As for the Apple gear, two-factor authentication and possibly with security keys, re-install any suspected- or known-compromised equipment, rotate credentials, update to current, etc.

And whatever IT you might try, a motivated and persistent attacker can thwart it.

But again, this is fundamentally a criminal matter, not technical. Keep a paper trail.

Breaking and entering is a police matter.

Reinstallation not restoration, rotating credentials, and two-factor with trusted paths or particularly with security keys is the usual path. And what has undoubtedly already been suggested to you in your previous reports.

If that’s not working, there’s something else going on. A camera you don’t know about, or otherwise. Or you missed a reinstall, or left a key credential unrotated, or maybe a network device. Or your adversary is exceedingly well-funded, with access to tooling worth multiple millions of dollars. Or maybe there’s a UTI or other medical cause, as I’ve encountered.

None of that has ever been in question; that there re exploits.

These exploits are rare and targeted, based on available evidence.

Here, you are reporting yourself as a target of immensely valuable exploit tooling and an immensely well-funded adversary.

You’ve undoubtedly already taken the basic steps to secure your Apple Account and device and environment too, and have considered and have acted upon the security suggestions that have previously been offered around here, or similar earlier discussions.

This puts your reported situation well outside of what assistance can be offered around here, or what assistance short of forensic access into your equipment, and some rather personal and pointed questions around your current situation, risks, your data, and potential responses or remediations. Which are all topics that going to get discussed around here, or in any other forum.

What happens next? You’ll need specialized help. Which won’t be cheap, absent you gathering forensics evidence of previous compromises, or evidence of your risks as a target. There are unfortunately far more folks that seek inexpensive or even free forensic help than there are technical providers, too.
