Please explain what you mean by “attacking my WiFi”.


If you are having issues connecting to Wi-Fi, here are the troubleshooting steps recommended by Apple:

If your iPhone or iPad won't connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support


I would restart the Wi-Fi router and follow the other steps listed, would also remove any add-on VPN client apps, and would also test connecting with a different Wi-Fi network.


Failing that, contact Apple Support.


Malware causing this is unlikely.

Here's the information you might find helpful:


"Installing software on a non-jailbroken iOS device is restricted to Apple's App Store, which provides a secure environment. Since apps on the App Store undergo strict vetting processes, the risk of downloading a virus is minimal. If you suspect your Apple ID has been compromised, consider reaching out to Apple Support for assistance."
