Can the iPhone5 be hacked remotely by a hacker?

This doesn't sound like anything more complicated than butt-dialing would be. The phone was sitting next to her on the bed with an app open. No one hacked it. She did something while asleep to cause that to happen.

If the phone isn't jailbroken, it wasn't hacked. She needs to consider another explanation for what she's seeing.

Yes, iPhone is quite easy to hack.

Apple should close this down in the next release of iOS.

I too have notice strange occurance on my Iphone 5 the past few weeks. I will be at work and my Iphone will be sitting on the desk and it will start opening apps. mail, safri, facebook etc and typing. I called Apple support and they basically didn't believe me, case number 447114986. The tech had me close all apps, and do a reset on my phone. said if that didn't fix it to do a restore. It did it again today, I watched it open safari, do a google search. It then opened a search on my phone. I killed the power, geuss the restore is in order.

Pretty sure mine was today

Maybe this is minute, but someone keeps stealing the diamonds from my hayday farm. I know I'm not using them by mistake, as my husband suggested. At first it was a few at a time. I had 10 diamonds when I closed and when I came back I only had 5. I thought it was possible that I may have inadvertently touched something by accident. But the last time I left the farm with 11 diamonds and came back to 0. The phone was not in my purse since I hadn't gone anywhere that afternoon. It was on the side of my bed. Who would do something like that? Monsters. You can say what you want, I know my apple stuff gets hacked. Apple shouldn't be so smug about it.

Your diamonds and your hayday farm, whatever that is, do not live on your phone. They are on a server somewhere used by the game. That might get hacked.

The answer is universal: change your password.

They're alive??! *snickering*

No need to be snippy with the tech challenged. I've had this phone for two weeks and I have to lock my entire life like Fort Knox.

Snicker away. My advice was at all snippy. Your iPhone is probably the most secure device you own. Feel free to continue with you own tech challenged paranoia.

I wasn't disagreeing with you about the the remote server. I simply hadn't considered it. My apologies if my tone was snarky. I did like the idea of my diamonds being alive. If you can find no humor in that, we'lljust have to agree to disagree.

Realgingerella first off, I don't know you but I do know that I love when you can feel like you understand a persons personality by the way they speak in these kind of threads. That being said, you crack me up! Also, to the remote server being hacked, I'm tech savvy with phones to a certain degree and I have had to do research to discover that because, I too have hay day and those **** diamonds are *****! Real money for these treats I allow myself to enjoy and they will be gone by about 10-30% sometimes and I treat them with conservative ways. So not everyone thinks of these things we just think, who the **** store our diamonds lol..

Tonefox, she wasn't snickering.

Had to throw my input in their because I laughed out loud when I read through this!! Thank you

Yes the iphone 5 can be remotely hacked. I literally just watched someone navigate through my phone and search through my phone. I was on the FB app looking at a photo when all of a sudden the photo I was looking at started to move in and out. I closed the app thinking something might have went wrong with the app and then the different folder apps started opening and it went to the search screen and started typing in letters and would scroll through the options that came up for those letters. I frantically pressed the home button and then it would flip right back to the search screen. At the same time a Kik message came through and they started to open the message and I then presed the button at the top to shut the phone off...as I tried to swipe it off they were pressing the cancel button, finally I hard reset the phone and it shut off immidiately. I called Apple Support and indeed they had never heard of such and the tech I spoke with did a search on the Apple forum and found seveal forums of it happening to the iphone 5. He spoke with his senior advisor and they suggested I restore my phone through itunes and tried to reassure me that it shoudl stop them from getting in. They also stated that the iOS 7 update should stop it from happening again as well. It was seriosuly spokey to watch my phone work by itself and then to watch them fight with me to not turn the phone off...scary. I had no idea what to do. I have recently restored the phone and it seems to be fine but I am still on guard waiting for something. I will make it a habit to make sure that my phone stays locked at all times. Feel free to refer to my Case Number if it happens to you. 455271464

Hi,

I've read your post and seems that I've been having the same issue.

What happening so far? Did the hard reset work?

Cheers

In October while driving, I received a message across my iphone stating that my iphone had been hacked and it took 4 days to get the phone to simi working order. Now today 12/10/13 it happened withing 15 minutes of each other twice. The first time it said HaHaHa, you've been hacked again!!! 666. Phone info lost. I was able to get the information back once I got to work and sitting at my desk this message comes up, You've been hacked again, you can't run from me, HaHaHa 666.....
