Your bank is not providing you with correct information. Your phone was not hacked. Your bank account was.


Your phone is fine, but you can run Safety Check if you have the time.

The bank made an error when they replaced the payment card number:

It’s not your iPhone, it’s an incomplete card-number replacement by the bank.
