Are my iPhones hacked?

I start to have a bunch of JetsamEvent for a week and there’re over 10-20 of them everyday and I’ve never have them before. I noticed that there’re are logs like duetexpert, mobilewatchdog, and watchdogs in BOTH of my iPhones (Iphone6s and IphoneXr). Btw, I use the same apple id for both of my phones. I found that these logs are tweaks for jailbroken Iphones but both of my phones are never jailbroken! However, I didn’t suspect any suspicious move in my apple id. But this strange logs appear pretty much the same time for both phones.


I once logged in to my apple id on my laptop that had malwares, but I already cleared them. Is there possible connection here?


I did factory reset my phone once but this event still occurs. (Strangely, when one of my phone wasin factory reset process, my another phone showed that that device still log in.) I read that Iphone can’t be be hacked. Is this event considered normal? Are my iphones really jailbroken remotedly?


Please help. Thanks!

This is verifiably false. On Apple's "About the security content of iOS 13.6 and iPadOS 13.6" support page for last week's update we can see numerous vulnerabilities that may lead to "arbitrary code execution", including some relating to WebKit (Safari).


Or consider CVE-2019-8646, a vulnerability that allowed attackers to read files off an iPhone just by sending a text through iMessage to it. Google's Project Zero team has a writeup on it, along with video demonstration. The vulnerability was introduced in iOS 12.1 and iOS 12.4. Between those versions, for the better part of a year, an up-to-date iPhone was vulnerable.


Security vulnerabilities are numerous and well documented, are fixed regularly in pretty much every release. So I don't think it's fair to assume that iOS/iPadOS has suddenly stopped having security bugs with the latest 13.6 release and it "cannot be hacked" anymore, when versions from a few weeks or months ago clearly can be, sometimes just by visiting a website.

iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware if it is updated to latest iOS/iPadOS, unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious softwares or unauthorised apps directly from internet and installed on your device or/and have Jail Broken. 

It (Hacking) also depends on how careful are you in sharing sensitive and valuable informations of your iPhone such as Passcode, Password etc with your friends and family members.


Be careful when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable informations with friends and family members.

Thumb Rules:

  1. Don't share Apple IDs
  2. Don't Jail Break
  3. Don't share sensitive informations pertaining to your device and payment methods
  4. Beware of Phishing

I have same problem. my iPhone OS version is 13.5.1.

JetsamEvent logs have been created everyday. I learned that JetsamEvent log indicates largest process name when the memory is low.

What processes does JetsamEvent log indicate ? In my case, most of these processes are StoreKitUIService.

Sometimes the process is mail application such as Outlook. I don't know what is StoreKitUIService.

some web pages tell that StoreKitUIService is in the iOS simulator. however I am experiencing it in real my iPhone.

JetsamEvent log has been created when I didn't use the iPhone.


Also my iPhone experiences strange battery drains in the Setting and much data communication traffic in operator's traffic measurement application.

After the apple Id changed temporary, data communication traffic rate was down. but iPhone creates JetsamEvent log.


I had restored the iPhone with Mac several times. but JetsamEvent log still has been created everyday.

StoreKitUIService seems to be a hidden apple application in iPhone OS.

you can see it at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents//Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/

Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/Applications/StoreKitUIService.app


however i don't know it is also in real iPhone device, some developers say SKStoreReviewController api which shows the review page in the application will invoke StoreKitUIService.app.

another developer says StoreKitUIService sometimes hangs or fails in the simulator.

but i am not sure, it is a bug in apple api or the application.


or, .. possibility of malware. unit42 of paloalto networks reported the malware 'YiSpecter' infects non jailbroken device on 2015.
