What should I do if I suspect my iPhone is compromised?

That post makes plenty of sense. I’m current handstand by an ex. She and all of he sextants have any iPhone that I’ve purchased in the past two years hacked. They use notes and the cintrol panel to remote assess my devices with these writes in cloud

Nothing in the Analytic logs is going to be helpful to you. Backboardd is a legitimate process that is on all iPhones. The double d signifies it is a daemon running in the background just like any other background process on your phone. There are actually hundreds of them.


If you feel you are under attack from mercenary spyware, then review the Support Article here:

If I can decode correctly what the replies you're getting in those other forums, it's completely nonsense (unless you jailbroke your iPhone in which case all sorts of bad things could be possible). They are not controlling your iPhone, an iPhone is not "built for remote connections", and someone gaining access to it remotely without your explicit agreement is highly unlikely if not actually impossible. Nor can your iPhone be cloned or used to access other devices.


More likely is that your ex has access to your Apple Account and is able to get to your synced data that way. See:


If you think your Apple Account has been compromised - Apple Support


If you still think your iPhone itself has been compromised, post back and tell us what exactly is leading you to believe that it is.


Regards.

It’s to the point that the FBI Cybersecurity division is involved because they’ve accessed my and other ppls accounts and pay and took money. Don’t know exactly who within that group is responsible but there is definitely an investigation with a case file number. This is a real threat everyone. They use all the features that make iPhone a versatile device such as handoff, finder, continuity camera, notes and control panel to totally mess with ppl. This is a problem in America and some have taken their own lives because of it. Even kids.

I’m confused. You started this thread saying it was an ex and her counterparts. Now you’re implicating the FBI. Does your ex work for the FBI?

I believe they are asserting that the FBI and the CIA (who legally can only operate outside the U.S. so...) have confirmed that their iPhone has been compromised. If true, there is nothing we can do that the FBI and the CIA can't. If incorrect, then there is still nothing we can do.

What should I do if I suspect my iPhone is compromised?
