I understand what you’re saying.But I’ve been experiencing cyberattacks over a year now.My fb have been hacked,I’ve received emails about logging into another iPhone etc.Apps were downloaded to my phone then put under hidden purchases.I had to create 3 new Apple IDs and all 3 got hacked.Before I would even DFU my phone and yet I’m stilling my Apple ID is being compromised.

I’ve done that.Created new Apple ID.The strangest thing was the Mail app on my iPhone instructed that it was not downloaded from the App Store.I could either keep or delete it.I am assuming it was side loaded by someone with malicious code.
