My iPhone has been hacked by 3 Chinese hackers.

I have tried to contact Apple support and because of this on going issue it has to be escalated to a Senior Advisor. I have had several bad experiences with a few senior advisors. The 3 WiFi networks that they use are from China. It’s been verified by the Federal Bureau of Investigations in ATL Ga. What do I do?

Iphones can be hacked I spent a week with Verizon and Apple support trying to save my 13 pro max. Apple Store told me that there was nothing they could do that this was government level hacking and had me file reports with the police, ftc, and the fbi. What they were able to do before all the new security updates was terrifying. Pretty sure they got in with the Microsoft security certificate breach. Just wait until this is mainstream. Non believers are gonna be in rude awakening.

This seems to have happened to me to on Saturday morning I woke up to an alert to say my Apple ID had been used to login from china, so I declined login and changed my apple password and logged all devices and did not share new password with anyone (only used to sign into iTunes).

this afternoon received another notification to say my Apple ID gad been used to login again from china.

how is this happening?

Did the messages say that your Apple ID was used to log in? Or did they say that someone had attempted to log in? If the former, you should enable Two-Factor Authentication. If the latter, Two-Factor Authentication is working.

You have not been hacked. Saying Wi-Fi network in China has hacked your iPhone is like staying your car was stolen by parking lot in Germany, when your car is in Alaska.


Wi-Fi networks are localized. No agency would in the world would ever say you were hacked by a Wi-Fi network.

Wi-Fi networks are passive, they cannot actively access a device. Devices are the one that access Wi-Fi networks.

I am talking to a Senior Advisor with Apple Support. I’m sorry I was rude. I was just told by Christina (Senior Advisor) that they have multiple people that have called in with their IPhones hacked. Sorry

Yes, people call in believing their phones have been hacked all the time. They have not been. It's virtually impossible unless you are a high value target of a repressive government. Oh, and by the way, even if it were possible, a WiFi network in China can't do anything to your phone, especially if you are not physically in China.


Your phone has not been hacked.


Exactly what behavior are you seeing that makes you think you have been?
