No. No security is broken. There is something else going on in your settings I believe.

Go To Settings-->>Do Not Disturb-->>Allow calls from , What do you have chosen here? If it is Everyone or a certain group that you have created then those calls will come through. Make sure silence is set to ALWAYS. See if REPEATED CALLS setting is correct. If it is set to ON then anyone who calls again within 3 minutes of the first call will be able to get through.

All that was done (silence and set only to allow calls from contact list). So problem is not solved. Perhaps this might help: I have had Do Not Disturb on for years, and this problem began only this week, after I sent on my PC (not phone) a search for local contractors, giving my gmail, not my number. After that, two calls got through from contractors on my iphone. I can only deduce that through the PC strangers can get data that allow them to break past the Do Not Disturb security. Am I really the first case of this happening?
How did u set Settings>Do not disturb>Allow Calls From?
Axel, you are 1 minute late, but your answer is more accurate than mine, so I forgive you (for this time).

hahahahahaha!
PG - We need to work out a shift schedule.
Axel F.
I totally agree :-)

It has to be #3. It's not #2 (locked) or #3 (contacts). I did not realize that junk callers could game the three minute rule, so this must be it. Thank you very much for solving this puzzle.
You are welcome.
