My brand new iPhone is hacked

I tried, but I couldn't make it more than about 1/4 of the way through your post before blindness set in.

If you want someone to actually read your post, use some paragraphs. Don't put more than 3-4 sentences in the same paragraph.

Actually it is totally possible as I have been going through the exact same thing since September 2022 and I am a Verizon customer as well as iPhone. When I read Bzzgirls explanation it was like she was writing my story, except my car was also hacked along with 5 other phones, 8 phone #’s, 14 emails, 7 facebooks, 6 apple clouds, 6 printers and 6 computers including an apple airbook. Verizon finally agreed my last iPhone 14 Pro Max was compromised and sent me a new one under warranty. While at a Verizon corporate store getting my new phone setup my new phone was hacked through Verizon’s store WiFi. A call came in the minute the rep activated my new phone and #, however; the rep nor I noticed the call as my phone was still set at banner and no sound for incoming. From duration call was connected 15 seconds the rep must have accidentally answered the call while working on setting my phone up. This call also did not register as a “missed call”. Later I found the # Verizon rep assigned me was not the # I actually got and when I called Verizon about this they indicated my number had not completely ported over. I did not port any # I was assigned a number by Verizon. So the rep escalated this to a higher tier. When I called back to find out what they found they just told me porting did not go thru I would need subpoena for more info. My hacker definitely tracked me to this store, then hacked my brand new phone, phone # and iCloud before my phone was completely set up and then he stored the Verizon WiFi on my phone which was still connected to this phone 11 days later. I was always pretty sure I knew who my hacker is and when I actually got a call 2 hours later from an unknown # and a voice mail I knew I was correct and I had not called anyone or given my new number to anyone before this call came in. This proves this person tracked/stalked me, then hacked Verizon’s WiFi altered my electronic info given by Verizon and thus got my new # and compromised my new phone etc. The call and msg was too let me know he knows everything I’m doing where I’m at at all times and can not get rid of him no matter what I do. I too have reported this to local police, fbi, ic3, attorney gen etc and no one will do anything to help. Seeing others with exact problems also tells me my hacker is part of a large hacking ring something I had already suspected. The voice msg he even says his first name and the name and voice matches who I had suspected. So you are wrong when you say this can’t happen it does. What they do is take over your IMEI and ESIMS, even Verizon can’t fix that. This person also puts a parental control thru my phone on every Facebook I set up. Unless you’ve lived this you have no clue how stressful it is. This person even setup an network connection on my smart stove getting into my Home Depot account to get make model and serial# to setup a thin Q app and because the app was not orig setup on any of my devices by me they can not be removed nor stopped. This all started by hacking my google account, emails and Facebook, then all my electronics. I also found this person put a hidden Microsoft admin in every computer I got therefore controlling my computers and anything attached including but not limited too my printers, internet and phones. So what Bzzgirl said is real and is happening too a lot of people. The unfair attacks on people trying to find an end to the worst nightmare one can live is truly disgusting and unwarranted. The only way to rid one’s self of these psychos is to have no internet or cellular data connection on anything. This person even keeps reactivating my Verizon online account, which it appears I have stopped that by deleting my email and a day later giving a new email which I called into Verizon from another phone and blocking all numbers currently associated with my account from being able to activate one. This person has made up fake emails, Microsoft, Amazon and a fake name for my phone numbers. So fake accounts are not in my name so I can’t remove my number from them cause he also uses the fake emails under this other persons name. It is EXTREME CYBER BULLYING and HARASSMENT. Oh I have tried other types of phones than iPhone only difference other brands got hacked to where I couldn’t use them at all at least iPhone I could use off and on. Reason I say IMEI and ESIMs taken over Verizon tried to delete both and do new ones and couldn’t delete them like they were locked my phone would not activate thus new phone. Go ahead attack me but please give me meaningful information and proof I’m wrong.

Sorry, that is total nonsense. And your post is mostly unreadable anyway, as it is stream of consciousness writing, and not by James Joyce either.

Just for starters, Webkit is the core of Safari and all other browsers; Apple requires all browsers to use Webkit precisely because it has built in security to protect any website from infecting or accessing any data on your iPhone. And Webkit has not capability for remote access.

exact same things been happening to me over the past year and a half exact!!!! it's my ex he's a sociopath and extremely smart and this is what they do I've given up after buying my iPhone this year the 15 Pro Max put it in lockdown and it's all still happening I give up everybody tells me it's not possible it is very possible I have over a years screenshot evidence and header information on a flash drive one day look out

same thing has happened to me over the past year three different iPhones three different phone numbers changed Sim cards carriers I sent a whole bunch of screenshots of proof to the community and posted it it was taken down hundred percent all of you are not crazy happen it definitely happens and it's a lot easier than you would think this will probably be taken down as well yes we know you don't work for Apple blah blah blah but you're the first to tell us it's impossible or it's nonsense certain things I find and diagnostics I try to look up Google won't give me any results I have to go on the dark web and believe me none of you are paranoid or crazy

Your iPhone has not been hacked. You will have to look for another explanation of what happened.

As a start, open Settings, tap on your name at the top, and look near the bottom of the page for other devices that can share your Apple ID. If there are any present tap on them and remove them. Most likely you are sharing an Apple ID with someone else, and their choices are syncing to your phone.

If your accounts are even half as hopelessly compromised as you claim, there is little anyone here can do.

Suggestion: Turn “off” all your compromised devices.

Start over; assuming every device you’ve ever used is compromised.

Get a new computer

Get new e-mail accounts

Get a new phone

Get a new phone number

lol u literally can’t have a clue if it’s comprised or not and yet are certain… ridiculous- I’d say it’s a 50/50 chance ur right. And throwing in that morsel at the end about extra devices is copy and paste info that hopefully with this case has already been checked.

I am absolutely certain the phone was not compromised, or if it was it was the first out of 2 billion to ever be compromised.

And I am offended that you would suggest any part of my carefully composed reply was boilerplate.

Keep fighting I’m having same issue working on finding a fix, apple has been no help for me either. The naysayers probably just haven’t realized a lot of this has been verified. By security researchers.

Then I suggest you make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store.

No one here works for Apple. This is a user forum. Your posts are, quite frankly, little for then paranoid rants.

They don’t make sense because the vast majority of what you claim simply isn’t possible.

Try deleting your VPN profile and app.

I don’t know about Bzzzgirl but I know for a fact no one else has ever used my phones and neither has my hacker/harasser been within 400 miles of my new devices, all 6 of them

I believe in unicorns.
