Possible no click attack. How can I know?
3 days ago I accidentally entered a site through a link.
Here's what happened right after.
I have defaulted every link to open in private browsing in safari as it did.
As soon as the safari opened, I instantly received a call on my mobile from a number within my country that I didnt know, so I picked it up, but it was immediately disconnected.
What worried me the most, was that when ending the call, going back to safari, I have set by default to check biometrics, it told me twice that the face id is not recognized.
after that I push power button and back againg to re-enter on device and it worked normally.
Calling number from a landline I found out that this does not exist!!!
20 minutes later I received a call on watchapp from a huge foreign number which of course I didn't answer.
Then I received several more calls from other local cell phones which I did not answer until I diverted all the unknown numbers to voicemail and so 2-3 calls later stopped.
I have read about the No click attack method, and how can be possible by calling you in watchapp and I am really worried if this call was such an attack?
I also read that Apple phones they were vulnerable until December when the article was written, when aple takes the necessary actions.
what i did next is:
- I deleted cookies and data from safari.
- I changed apple id password, But through the same device if this change enything.
- I checked for unrecognised apps or strange behavior on my mobile. (did not found any until now)
- I checked if I have any suspicious settings in my vpn or email. (everything look find)
- I updated my mobile with the latest update.
- i delete and reinstalle watchapp.
i called local apla support for more info but all they said was to reassure me that i look safe after what i did.
But i still worry about if there is a way someone could get into my cell phone and still have access to it or my information.
So I'm asking the community hoping for your experience to figure out if there really is anything to worry about.
Οf course my mobile is fully updated and not jailbroken.
It's an iPhone 12.
From your experience...
If they had managed to get into my cell phone I would have had some clues by now?
or maybe they work quietly until they have what they want?
Thanks in advanced for your help.
looking forward for your responds and sorry for the big test above.
iPhone 12, iOS 17
