Phone number compromised ?

Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch --> https://support.apple.com/HT201229

If it is spam then welcome to the 21st century. You could go extreme and only accept calls from known numbers. If it is telemarketers you could add your number to the USA national Do Not Call registry, not that that has kept them from calling me. You just get the kind that ignore the registry instead of a few good-meaning ones too.

Your number is not compromised. This is the new spam/phishing thru text. Do Not reply or click any links from these texts, it let’s them know your phone number is active so they start spamming you more from other numbers. Just block them and delete the messages.

Well, I have bad news for you then.

Technically, all telephone numbers are compromised. All telephone numbers are known. Every single one.

And all telephone numbers were the basis for one of the recent Facebook hacks. Yes, all numbers were used ro hack info out of Facebook.

The spammers have automated all of this, too. Computers to dial, computers ro listen for answers. Computers to generate text messages. We’re getting harassed by software apps.

As for spam calls and spam texts and the rest, contact your legislative representatives and grumble about the mess, for whichever country or region you’re in.

And do enable muting of unrecognized callers as was suggested above.

Oh, it’s rare for a spammer to use the same calling address as thoe calling numbers are easily spoofed, so blocking specific calling numbers tends not to work well. Or at all.

Welcome to the era of spam everywhere.

If they really wanted to do something about spam calls and spam email they would impose a charge for every phone call made and every email sent. Wouldn't have to be much because I bet the spammers contact huge numbers of users and even a couple of cents times one million is a fair chunk of change but wouldn't be much to individuals. I remember when I was growing up there was a 5c charge for even local calls.

Your “monitoring program?” Ah, well, I’d yank that right off.

Unless you need the laughs, as a “compromised” phone number report is 😆 😂 hilarious.

More than a few “security” apps and more than a few add-on VPN client apps are privacy trash-fires.
