Hacker got into my iPhone 13 and has taken over my number, Apple ID, iCloud account, Apps, everything. Also started a Family Plan in my name, made me in charge of it so they could use my Apple TV and I can’t find a way to close it. How do I do this?

I’ll tell you what I can. I got myself out of the Family Plan and closed it. He’s still in my phone, but I’m making things as difficult as I can on him. First you’ll need some time when he’s gone. So try to pick up on when you know they’re around and when they’re not. The hacker in my phone seems to go to bed around 10pm-11pm. So I stay up all night fixing things up. My hacker found a way around my Face ID so I’ve deactivated it and put everything to codes. I erased all data on the entire phone that had bank or bank card information in it. Then I locked everything by code, and it’s gotta be a very long complicated PIN code. If he gets passed that you’re screwed. Next you need to go through all your apps and settings page. Change all your passwords to very, very long complex ones. I mean everything has to be under a code. It’ll get exhausting putting it in all the time, but it’s better than having everything stolen. Then log out of everything with important stuff. Like I log completely out of my iCloud and just log into the apps I have to when they need me to or I need them. Just remember they’re all under that long PIN number. Before I can even put passwords in, I have to enter that long complicated PIN code. I’ve caught on to the apps he seems to want into the most and the things he’s trying to do. So make sure you pay attention to all the little details of things, the pages you go on and the apps your in. They can make fake pages and then you put your password in it and they got you. That’s why before I can do anything, on any single part of my phone I have it set to require that long complicated PIN code. So I know he hasn’t been changing stuff in there. Next if you use Safari or any other kind of browser, don’t open too many pages at once. Always go back through and close them, clear the cache and the history. So he doesn’t know where your going. Always watch your back doing anything on your phone, close apps immediately when your done with them and don’t leave them open in the background. Make sure you sign out of everyone as soon as your done. Make sure the password to your backup’s is way hard and very long. You don’t want that being deleted cuz then your completely screwed. I’m gonna try and wait this guy out, but I will be contacting places like Apple and my carrier to look in to what else I can do to hopefully get rid of this fool. If I remember stuff that I forgot, I’ll make more notes for you. Also, if any chance comes up that you can mess with them back, do it! They really hate that crap. Mine likes to turn on my front camera and watch me. When that camera is on there’s a small orange light that you can barely see that pops up. So I talk **** to him, flip him off, talk about what it must be like to be a big fat loser living in his moms basement. How he’s never been laid and girls must think coding is so cool…lol. Sometimes he gets sick of it and goes away lol. But honestly the safety of you and your things and n your phone come first. So do all that first. He was on my phone all day today with nothing to do because I did all the stuff I told you about. So I took a few naps and played video games. I never stop checking on my phone, but I got to do things I haven’t done in 4-5 days easily. My phone was safe lol. So good luck and I hope some of this or all of it helps.
Take care.
The best thing you can do is not actually use a password use of what’s called biometrics like a fingerprint facial recognization and change that fake recognization many times like they said wipe it out. Also recommend you to change your phone number because this probably how he’s actually getting through about two step verification that’s the reason why it sucks. That’s the reason why they’ve gone to biometrics.
Me too. I have 5 unwanted people sharing my phone and taking over and compromising all of my personal data such as bank info emails everything. Please help me get rid of them for good. They also lock me out of certain settings because they’re using a Mac. What do I do?
Thank you very much for all your great advice. I really appreciate it.. They told me they are not a hacking company. I’m so disappointed in them because I pointed out places this hacker has me locked out of & they simply said “oh that’s a factory default setting”. I showed them by screen sharing every possible thing I could show them to prove this, but still they did nothing, so I’m right there with you trying to figure this out myself. You’ve told me a few great options to detour this person & I really appreciate that because I was truly feeling hopeless. I’ve been dealing with this for almost two months. Many passwords and accounts later, I’m still going thru every setting every single day and throughout the day changing them back in hopes they will just give up, but haven’t been very lucky. They take the time to switch everything back and keep right on using our services and spying on any information of mine they can. Bank accounts, mortgage app, pharmacy app, many things I’ve had to start writing in notebooks, instead of locking them up on my “trusted” iPhone. It has truly been a nightmare that I wish upon NOBODY! Thanks again. The long password is a great idea! I try to mess with my hacker too! Tho he’s not giving up…
