iPhone remotely hacked and cloned

Sims can be cloned and IMEI’S can be hacked though.... I sure wish I know how to stop this... I have an unholy crazy of an ex and it seems he is very determined to know my every move to use it against me or to put me in places i shouldn’t be doing crazy things all so he can win custody of our daughter.

iPhones are supposed to be the best in security.... this is an issue that needs some serious attention.

My last 6 iPhones (this year and all XS Max’s) keep getting hacked. I looks as if they use accessibility features once they gain control of it. They have the ability to use my screen to authenticate themselves receiving my temporary codes for 2FA then they can change my passcode and my screen time passcode, delete apps, install apps, import pictures. I never have any safety or security because I am being singled out. My soon to be ex-husband keeps having my accounts broken in to then from one account to the next they take over every new email or accounts and apple ID’s they want bc they can see my screen and use transparent overlays that allow them to use another device connected somehow to mine and they will retype my password at the same time I think I am typing it, but EVERY TIME I go to use the password I made it NEVER WORKS. Then it’s game over from there....

I’m divorcing, sleep alone, doors locked, but my WiFi may be compromised, but even on this latest phone I never even connected it to my WiFi and slept with it under my pillow.

There has got to be something that can be done, do you realize how much money that is in apple devices that I loved and haven’t been able to enjoy at all like regular people because at any time....poof! My pictures delete then new ones are imported.

I even locked it down via screen time and and alpha numeric passcode and I don’t use icloud and only ever sign in to iTunes for apps

All of what you describe can be explained by a hacked Apple ID. No, a SIM cannot be cloned from the IMEI, and how would anyone know your IMEI unless you told it to them?

There is a hack called a SIM swap, where someone pretending to be you calls your carrier and requests a new number and gets a new SIM, but in that case your phone would stop working for voice and data. And you can check that easily by calling your carrier.

No, your Apple ID may have been hacked, but your phone was not unless you jailbroke it. And iPhones cannot be cloned. If they could be the FBI would not have had to pay $1 million to get into ONE specific phone. And the method they used will no longer work.

They hacked your Apple ID, probably because you didn't have 2 factor authentication on your account, or you had a weak password, or both. Or perhaps they had stolen your identity (which is trivially easy after the Equifax hack), called Apple, and knew enough about you to convince the Apple rep that they were you, and had your password reset. Which is one of the reasons Apple now insists that all new accounts have 2 factor authentication.

They then turned off Activation Lock on your phone because it is controlled from your Apple ID, and they added their phone to your Apple ID. And, because they had hacked your Apple ID they could sync everything you synced to iCloud to their phone, and they could restore whatever iCloud backups you had to their phone.

And the way they could do it a day later is they still had all of your personal information and could call Apple and again get your password reset, because you didn't have 2 factor authentication.

Regardless of how you feel your phone was not cloned. If it was possible to clone an iPhone it would be banner headlines in every news outlet in the world, and the FBI would not have had to pay $1 million to get the contents out of ONE phone.
