Can an IPhone be hacked/remotely controlled? Hi, I downloaded the new iOS update on my phone yesterday while on my works guest wifi (it’s technically unsecured but you do need an employee to approve access) thinking I was on our secured line. Now I’m worried while I was doing that my phones been hacked. My phone was ok the charger this morning (MagSafe wireless) and it restarted on its own. Nothing was updated that I can tell, still shows iOS 16.0.2 like yesterday. Am I being paranoid? I thought you couldn’t hack an iPhone unless it was jailbroken and if someone did access your information while on the wifi once you disconnect it’s stops the access. Do I need to go to the Apple Store and have the phone scanned?

iPhone and home devices infiltrated by sophisticated APT hacker, what are my options? Hello all. I have been a victim of an APT hacker for the past several years. I do not know why I was targeted because these category of hackers typically are supposedly funded by nation-state to perform an attack on large scale and important figures and companies, but there are a few mentions of them hacking "low hanging fruit" or "standard users" who are not well versed in cybersecurity, computers and networks. I suspect the latter to be the case, as I am not the only victim of this attack, the hacker has hundreds of not thousands of victims. Through an unknown method, the hacker is able to infiltrate into the networks remotely, and is able to infect all devices connected to the network with malware, spyware, RAT and rootkits. The hacker is able to see all activities, listen to microphones and cameras, access to files and more. iPhones, Windows PC, Modem, Router, all vulnerable to the hacker's infiltration. While extremely skilled and powerful, the APT hacker is very fearful of law enforcement, and takes extreme measures to never get caught or reveal their identity. The usage of many false identities, impersonations, botted accounts, spoofed numbers, and more. Regular antivirus software, and standard firewalls and security apps are not effective against this kind of persistent sophisticated and stealthy attack. What are my options? And yes I did contact law enforcement numerous times but no answers. These are things I've tried: Clean installation of devices (iPhone: DFU mode and reinstall using iTunes ipsw file, PC: full format and wiping and reinstalled using clean usb installation media) Paid antivirus solutions, VPN Isolated device from network, and enrolling to a new network (5G network, the new modem gets hacked within a day)

Two questions?

Did you jailbreak the device?

Did you give it to someone unsupervised for a period of time?

It's unlikely that your devices have been compromised. But, if you feel they are, factory reset them and start again from scratch.

If you suspect the iPhone is compromised, factory reset and re-install the iPhone. Don’t restore a backup.

If you suspect the network is compromised, disconnect it all, reset each piece connecting one at a time, and reload current firmware for each. How each device is reset varies by vendor and model.

Passwords and password-reset paths (mail accounts, cellular plan PINs, etc) get updated with new and unique passwords, and the Apple ID and other important accounts get multi-factor authentication enabled where available.
