Updating to iOS 13.5.1

Hi all,


I’ve just updated to iOS 13.5.1 for my iPhone 8 Plus. My credit card is linked to my iCloud subscription.


The very next day, I was notified by the bank that my credit card had been used fraudulently. Could the software upgrade have caused this breach of credit card information?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

Of course anything is possible, but I've never experienced or known of a situation where an iOS firmware upgrade could affect your credit account.


Two things:

  1. Contact your bank directly by phone or their website to verify that there is a real issue with your account. If there is, of course, go through their steps to cancel your card and have a new one issued to you.
  2. Go to Manage your Apple ID, and immediately, change your Apple ID password.
