signal text app

I was victim to scam recently. As guise of a job interview in which they insisted I use the app signal for a text interview. Looked legit and on App Store.


Somehow without my providing any log in information, they were able to get into my phone, disable my lookout security app and delete my Verizon safe app, the camera light was coming on while I was using a game app or other app yet no photos in my photo app appeared. Duck Duck Go is bombing out with the redirects. My email is not receiving security email codes.


anyone else?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

About a Hacked iPhone:

Unfortunately, there is no way to determine if it has been hacked, unless you know that it has been jailbroken. And, the only way for an iPhone to have hacked is if it has been jailbroken.


So, what to do...

Resetting to Factory Settings:

If you are so concerned, then reset you iPhone to factory settings, as if you were to sell it. Go here: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. Perform as instructed there, including the backup creation and iCloud logout.
