Cybersecurity issue | Grindr access lots of garbify and other odd links

hi, Back in February I lost my company due to cyber attack and I’m still getting harassed.

after lots of bizarre activity in my phone, such as 2 X Grindr apps I found this.

yesterday I found the pulpy search engine malware in my pc and a couple of ip’s with active traffic. For weeks not I keep running out of space on my iPhone even though I’m not using it. What do you think it’s going on as I’m sure it’s been hacked using an omg cable. My 6 chargers broke during 24h period and then I borrowed a charger from my roommate and it really f up the battery and everything went mad but I reseted the phone immediately. Then I realized he doesn’t normally use an iPhone. He graduated computer science.

Also I’ve not used Grindr in over a month or so.

Hi LeonL22,

We certainly understand your concern and want to do all we can to help.

To ensure that your data is protected on your iPhone, check out the steps you can take outlined here: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support

Since Grindr isn't an app developed by Apple, we'd suggest that you contact the app developer for more information about the domains contacted by websites within the app: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support

We hope this helps.

Take care!
