SECURITY - Phone Stolen whilst unlocked.
Hi guys,
I'm wondering if anyone could share any insight. two nights ago, my UNLOCKED phone was snatched out of my hand whilst I was walking home from a club and I wasn't able to catch the thief.
They disabled find my iphone before I was able to login and lock / erase the phone. They also accessed some of my crypto accounts and stole some money as they were able to enter the accounts using 2FA via text message. I have since disabled the phone number.
Any ideas on other things I can do to try and protect my data if it isn't already too late. luckily face ID is required to access my emails.
This is what I have done so far
- Removed phone from my apple ID in hopes they can't view my photos (as these where stored on cloud)
- Changed passwords to my emails, social medias.
- Emailed whatsapp to logout - unsure it has worked as they could probs access my messages if internet turned off
I am worried about the getting access to personal data through photos, notes, whatsapp including things like passport details or anything else. I am also worried about google authenticator as I can't remember if it required Face ID and I think I had a few things crypto/ other linked to it.
There were so many things on my iphone I have no Idea where I am exposed, I have frozen my bank accounts till I get new cards.
Any ideas for extra steps I can take? any suggestions would be much appreciated.
