Is it possible to for an iPhone to be hacked?

The chances of your iPhone getting hacked are next to zero. Now, if your iPhone is jailbroken then the chances of your iPhone getting hacked are high. The other thing to note is that your Apple ID can get compromised through fishing emails or texts with fake links that will try and get the user to input their Apple ID and Password. The perpetrator then captures those credentials from the fake website and uses the information for his/her own use. Compromised Apple ID and Password is more common than outright hacking of an iPhone.

If you suspect that your Apple ID and Password has been compromised then change your password right away.

More than likely your iPhone is NOT Jailbroken. You would have to either Jailbreak it yourself or hand the iPhone in someone’s hands for a period of time so that the Jailbreak can be performed.

Here is how you can tell whether your iPhone has been Jailbroken-

1. Cydia or Sileo are installed: One way to confirm if your iPhone is jailbroken is to look for an app called either “Cydia” or “Sileo”. These apps are in fact third-party app stores that are usually installed during the jailbreak process. However, it is also important to note that on a jailbroken device, any app icon (e.g. Cydia/Sileo) can be made invisible to the user so it is not a fool-proof method of detection.

2. Other unusual apps: It is also important to check for any other unusual apps that have appeared on your home screen that you haven’t downloaded yourself. Many jailbreak tools include a launcher app which can be run to re-jailbreak the device if the jailbreak has been removed. An example of one of these apps is “checkra1n” which is often installed alongside one of the most popular jailbreaks. If you find an app that you’re not sure about, you should try Googling its name and it should tell you if it’s related to a jailbreak tool.

In my opinion, I believe that your FaceBook credentials may have been compromised through a scam email / website or Phishing. I understand that this experience can be scary and you must feel violated. I am glad you took the precautions to protect your passwords.

The one thing that you must do (if you have not done so already) is to change your Apple ID Password. Change the password and that will protect the information attached to your Apple ID. You should be good once that is completed.
