The same thing has been happening to me for 2 years. It started with my passwords being stolen and computer being set up on a network with some bug loaded on the hard drive. I’ve changed passwords on all accounts, gotten new devices and cannot get rid of them. I believe they have used apps like GarageBand, some WebDAV and maybe Keynote. I cannot get them off my devices.

Why do you feel that your iPhone is being hacked? It is nearly impossible to to hack an iPhone since it operates within Apple's closed system (unless your iPhone has been Jailbroken). If you feel that your Apple ID / Password has been compromised then change your Apple ID Password. This can be done by opening Settings ➔ Apple ID (Your Name at Top) ➔ Password & Security ➔ Change Password.

As I asked earlier, what makes you believe that your iPhone is being hacked?

incorrect. You can hack anything jail broken or not. How do you think huge companies with incredibly sensitive information get hacked & leaks?

its hard but it’s possible. There’s also different levels of hacking, control and reason behind the hack.


11 years and never an issue and now. Bam. It’s easier than ever.


im currently fully compromised. And in the process of recovering everything, IF it’s even possible at this point.


to the person who posted asking about hacking, once I figure out wtf to do now, I’ll help you & post.


here’s hoping!!

My response stated that “it is nearly impossible”. Not completely impossible.

Furthermore, as you know, having your credentials compromised is different than having your credentials hacked. The hacking process involves an outright break in and intrusion with force. Usernames and Passwords can also be compromised whereby they are not hacked but the user is tricked into providing that information to the perpetrator. This includes scam websites, scam phone calls and scam text messages that trick the user.
