My accounts are compromised.

Why do you say my phone wasn’t or can’t be hacked? Isn’t it accessible like a computer?

Nope. Accounts are compromised using the password and multiple account will soon become compromised when using the same password, but no one is getting into your phone unless they know your Passcode. Your Apple ID account can be compromised too if someone knows that password, but again it is not your phone that was hacked.

Also review your Passwords and also make changes to ones that show they are weak or compromised.

Perhaps take advisement at face value; because iPhone iOS

is unlike most computer OS. ~ Select from your settings new

password/passcodes & protect the accounts from outsiders.

Some ideas are available online from Apple Support site

No anti-virus apps won't help. No your phone has not been hacked. Change your passwords.

They did not gain access through your phone.

The most likely explanation is that you use the same password for multiple online services. One of them was compromised, which means thieves now have your email address and password and are trying to use it everywhere they can until they find services they can get into with your credentials. They then change your password and use any stored credit cards on merchant sites to bleed you dry.

Mobile devices can absolutely be exploited. They are computers, just like you said.

In your situation, it's important to find out if your passwords app itself was compromised. If you don't already, turn on "App Privacy Report" under privacy section in settings. Give it a minute or two to build up the data and then check the Password App when it populates. See what domains it is interacting with as well as how many.

The only way an iPhone can be exploited is if the owner decided to jailbreak their phone or install an untrusted management profile. Their Apple account could have been compromised in the same way as their other online accounts.

Yes, it is true that there is actually a way to remotely compromise it without those things happening... however, unless you're a high profile target of a repressive government, it's just not going to happen. It is way to expensive to do and you're simply not worth it.

That's why I say it.
