Hi wardshannonkeithh.


Thanks for following up and clarifying. You mention that the iPhone has been compromised. Were there any unauthorized modifications of iOS? If so, please see the information below:


Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issues


"iOS is designed to be reliable and secure from the moment you turn on your device. Built-in security features protect against malware and viruses and help to secure access to personal information and corporate data. Unauthorized modifications to iOS (also known as "jailbreaking") bypass security features and can cause numerous issues to the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, including:


  • Security vulnerabilities: Jailbreaking your device eliminates security layers designed to protect your personal information and your iOS device. With this security removed from your iOS device, hackers may steal your personal information, damage your device, attack your network, or introduce malware, spyware, or viruses.


Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks iOS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of iOS is a violation of the iOS end-user software license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.

"


If there were no modifications of iOS, and if the previous article does not apply, please Contact Apple for support and service

Take care.
