I recently discovered my network being messed with and found out my router was compromised and there were now remote access Trojans on all of my computers, I also believe the file originated from my husbands phone (via Amazon & good ole google chrome ) and was then spread through the network.
im more than positive my phone is being affected as well. Any ideas?
Your iPhone is not affected.
If your router has been compromised, all data flowing through the router is compromised, but the phone itself is not.
Unless, of course, you jailbroke your phone in which case you completely borked the security built into iOS.
An iOS device that has not been jailbroken can not be compromised in that way.
Your phone is not being affected since you have not jailbroken it. Any information sent from your iPhone to the internet via your router is suspect. So contact the router manufacturer and clean up the hack with their instructions (or replace the router), clean off the malware on the Windows computers, do a better job keeping up with the security and you will be fine.
Nothing in your screen shot shows your iPhone was affected. P.S. Amazon was not involved unless you fell for a phishing email about your Amazon account. And that would not have been from your husband.
Your choices are to learn how to remove all that, or to hire somebody to clean the network and all the gear, or to replace all that, and to discuss this with a lawyer and/or local law enforcement if that’s an option for you.
Most cases of this are somebody known and with access, or default or weak or otherwise known passwords.
iPhone malware is fairly rare and fairly expensive to acquire and deploy (and iPhone malware absolutely exists, whether jailbroken or otherwise—it’s simply rarely seen), and is unlikely involved here, though iPhone communications can certainly be intercepted, and can be accessed when insecure communications protocols are in use.
If you’re a journalist or dissident or investigative journalist or have access to substantial financial data or to sensitive or classified data, or are on the path to that access, the calculations here do shift.
