Iphone Hacked

Hello

I highly suspect my IPhone has been hacked after i receicevd email from Microsoft telling me that some of my personal photos have been uploaded to my One Drive account , and these photos were taken on my iPhone XR camera, I never shared these photos with anyone and never used them with any app, this is crazy !

I asked Microsoft about this. They simply told me to change my One Drive password , but it can’t prevent my account being hacked again

please tell me what todo

iPhone XR

iPhones cannot be remotely hacked.

You may have inadvertently enabled iCloud Drive's automatic Camera roll upload to One Drive if you have installed the App.

Open the One Drive app, tap on the icon / your picture at the top left corner of the App, tap on Settings->Camera Upload, and make sure its turned off for your account.

If your One Drive account was compromised, make sure you change its password, and see if there's any other mechanisms Microsoft offers to secure that account.

Your account wasn't hacked and don't call Microsoft to fix your iOS issues.

The email was a scam attempt to trick you into revealing your ID and passcode.

If you get another just delete it.

I just checked settings in One Drive on my iPhone , the “ Camera Upload” is off, I have never turned on Camera upload in One Drive settings since the 1st day I stared using “ One Drive”

my question is is how come the photos I took using camera on iPhone can end up in and be shared to my One Drive?

Okay, thanks for letting me know this,

So you think the email sender disguised himself as official Microsoft customer service member, right?

The email address of the email sent to me is : no-reply@onedrive.***

my email address is: yidibike@*** and XDtech123@***

this is EXTREMELY strange, please investigate it and find out what happened,

and another question is how come the photos I took using my iphone camera was displayed in this email sender's email, ???

these photos are in the email as preview of my " weekend featured photos uploaded to my one drive"???? what's wrong????>??

Please investigate this problem and contact me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I need to change my password?? do you think if a hacker could hack into my account, does "Changing password" really help??
