Admin privileges and user groups in iPad

I wanted to share an incident whereby a girl in the intelligence beareau was able to log into my iPad using her administrator privileges and create remote control using a URL for view purposes for a detective who paid her and kept her as ally. He was the reason she got into the IB in India so she was giving all perky accesses and used her credentials to benefit him. I saw her in WeWork sitting right next to me.


Is there any admin user role in iPad and iPhones that we should start setting up? I can’t see any user groups on iPad by default

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

Nobody here is going to be able to assist with an immensely well-funded adversary such as a national intelligence agency or mercenary organization.


That’s matter for police, press, or political coverage.


Enabling Lockdown Mode might help, and you’re headed for a complete rotation of all passwords, and also enabling a recovery key, and switching to hardware security tokens.


As for your question, iPad and iPhone are a single-user devices.

M trying end point protection, firewalls from other firms. I did the hardware tokens and lockdown mode, yet they have a URL think the adversary has to be on the same network or the UrL thing may not work


Given your adversary and what you report, continued use of an iPhone or iPad for anything sensitive seems unwise.


Casual gaming and other benign activities while in a known and familiar location, sure. Anything more, no.


And you are far beyond the help that can be offered around here, particularly given the alleged activities.
