What should I do if my iPhone is compromised?

It would be a long story to explain, however, I have a motivated 3rd party who has taken my phone over. The logs read as if they have developed every function of the phone to ensure I can't use it properly. They are attempting to steal intellectual property in the process. The logs are only a snippet the whole log is 1.7mb

Your Apple ID can be compromised through the web or other online platforms.


Device can be compromised only if you have done the following don'ts.


If you feel an unauthorized person/app is remotely using, controlling or monitoring your device, then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...


  1. Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
  2. Don't share Apple IDs
  3. Don't Jailbreak
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
  5. Don't give in to Phishing
  6. Don't plug in your device in Airports and Public places through third-party cables and trust the device. Beware of Juice Jacking. (Especially in India)
  7. Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls, etc.


If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.
