I downloaded apps from a fraudulent source on my iPhone 6. I have deleted the apps after i found out. Is my phone safe to use or would they still have access.
iPhone 6, iOS 12
The answer that you seek is entirely dependent on what was done to enable these apps from the “fraudulent source” to load, and what the apps then did, and what the apps had access to, and a variety of other details that nobody here is in a position to know.
Whether all your data was already uploaded and scanned, whether all your passwords were uploaded, nobody knows.
Other than the folks associated with the apps and the “fraudulent source” involved here, that is.
Assuming a full breach is reasonable. That means changing the Apple ID and all other passwords, enabling two-factor authentication if that’s not already enabled, and (among other steps) monitoring your credit card activity for any credit cards used while these apps were installed, and a variety of other tediousness involved in the usual post-security-breach remediation efforts.
