Ipad Hacked - I watched somebody go into my contacts and browse around

It obviously exists, you say there currently is no such malware but look - there are people who have become victims.

A dirty screen would not result in automatic searching on the web - 'Netframework 4'

or continuously accessing other apps

Do you want me to chat with this hacker if he is willing ? I can try going to Note and chat or if he goes on camera again, I will try talk to him should I ?

I Have read on line that the iPad can't be hacked. But, I have a new iPad Pro 12.9 and I was hacked. I was texting in messenger and words I texted were deleted and replaced with out my doing it. I was a big apple fan but now I'm not so sure.

Check Settings>General>Keyboard>Text Replacement. It sounds as if you (or someone who had access to your iPad or Apple ID) entered shortcuts. The way they work is that, when you type the "shortcut", it's replaced with something else.

HI, thanks for the reply. But, unless I put a shortcut in to call me names I don't think that's it. Plus, when it happened I replaced what they typed in and said something to them. And, they responded. I have since reinstalled the ipad Pro and iPad 2. Also, every device i have including modem and laptop. It really creeped me out.

No, but if someone else got access to your unlocked iOS device, they could have. If they share an Apple ID with you, those shortcuts sync across devices.

unless your device is jailbroken then i have not heard of this either

Have you made these adjustments:

> Change the default wirless network name from default (ex. Linksys476) to "BillyBobsFleaCircus"

> Change the password from easily guessed (JaneandBill123) to something like "x$8_3arY&"

People know hacks into certain makers of routers (my first suggestion).

People guess network names from names on mailboxes, so use randon and unguessable network names (my first suggestion)

People think their simple passwords cannot be guessed from names of their dogs or children (my second suggestion)

Amazing how many network installers do *not* tell people the safe methods.

Change your admin password to something as complex (although you sound like you did already).

You should change those passwords once a month, and write them in a log you store in a known place like a closet shelf in your room.

Some routers allow "guest passes" that you can tuen on or off at will so your primary password is not told to the world and still your kids' friends can access it. Call Cox for details about that.

This is a Royal PITA, but the hackers never sleep.

Happy travels.

Not to my knowlege, but that is not saying much on this subject.
