My iPhone and Apple ID have been hacked by Google Analystic employee.

Hi,


I’m a photographer and have use Google Analytics to check my website for more than 15 years.


One of the Google analytics employee has been hacking my iPhone, iPad and controlling my iPhone remotely!

The hacker even can control my old iPhones too!!!

The old phones have no SIM cards, no WiFi and it is on the airplane mode. The hacker still can check…

I really don’t get it how it is possible… 😩😩😩


I have changed my Apple ID for my iPad, and it doesn’t work! 😭


I have charged my Apple ID password many times for my IPhone , and it doesn’t work either….😭😭


I have turned WiFi and cellular off and turned airplane mode on before I shut down my iPhone three days ago. The iPhone has been putting on my desk for three days without any touch!

Guess what? The hacker turned the phone on!!!!😱😱😱


I deleted my Gmail app, Google analytics app, Google map app and Google translation app when I just found I got hacked.


what shall I do?

i don’t want to backdown when I get bullied!!!

I want to get the hacker out.


I know my English and computer knowledge are not good enough to catch the hacker….


Please help me.

Thanks in advance!!! 😊

The iOS appear to be functioning normally.


I would encourage you to turn off "App Privacy Report" and stop looking at it — you will drive yourself crazy trying to understand all the background noise and normal communication.

The google api was used by a website you visited to download data for them to display to you on their webpage. The Privacy Report will not only list the domains that you visited, but also those that the websites use to display their content through the use of redirects.


You have not been hacked and there is nothing you have provided that even suggests that to be true. Accounts are easily compromised with the Password to the account, but that is in no way a remote hack on your device. Changing the password for a compromised account and securing it is all that is needed in that case.


  • What makes you come to the conclusion that a hacker is trying to back up your photos to iCloud?
  • It also does not seem you understand Two Factor Authentication and what a Trusted Device is. Your phone that is logged into your account IS a Trusted Device. You can also view any other Trusted Device by going to Settings > [name on top], and scroll to the bottom to see a list of devices signed into your account. They are easily removed by tapping on them, and you would want to follow up by changing your Apple Account Password. You also want to verify your Trusted Phone numbers on your account.
  • While you deleted your Google apps, you should also delete your Google account. It is true that Google is going to track your activities and having the account makes it possible for them to do that across webpages and searches. That is how they post billions of dollars in revenue by letting you use their services for free. That does not mean they are hacking your device, but they certainly are selling your data that you have allowed them to gather.
  • I also worry that it is possible that you did not contact the Official Apple Support, and disclosed personal account information to them that would never be asked by Apple. That does lead to accounts being compromised and fake tech support numbers claiming to be Apple are found everywhere. This is the only number you should be calling for Apple Support.

Contact Apple Support - Apple Support

  • How did you determine that your family blocked you? There is no indication on your device when anyone blocks you, so what led you to that conclusion? It is possible that your family blocked you, but you would not know.
  • No, a hacker did not remotely turn your phone on. A phone will turn on when it is plugged into power, so a simple power interruption for a millisecond can make the phone believe it has just been plugged in and will turn on.


It seems that with the comments you have made, you are going down a rabbit hole that you will never be able to dig yourself out of. I am afraid that no matter what anyone tells you, that you will not believe them. It may be time to go back to the landline phone or even get a non-internet connected phone if this carries on much further. That should be an easy move if you are convinced your privacy/security is in jeopardy and refuse to listen to the information that has been provided to you here.

Hi,

I know it’s impossible to believe it, but I’m telling the truth.

The hacker uses the Final Cut Camera to make two videos from my iPhone!!!
the hacker put a file and deleted it.
The hacker even tried to rest The Final Cut Camer!!!



https://discussions.apple.com/content/attachment/cf5acc85-edb2-4202-bce5-70a3b83c2a37

I didn’t set up a button for the Final Cut Camera, so it proves I didn’t video by accidentally.

I deleted some of my pictures that without watermark on before I went to Apple Store last Sunday, and the Hacker put them back to my Photo app to show me and deleted them!!!
by the way, how can the hacker put the pictures that I deleted totally back to my Photo app app?

I know it is hard to believe it ; especially, the hacker is from Google!!!

Nope. Didn't happen. You are badly misinterpreting what you're seeing.

You have not been hacked.


If you don't want to believe me, fine. I'm not going to waste any more time or energy on this.

Hi kiltedTim,


https://discussions.apple.com/content/attachment/cf5acc85-edb2-4202-bce5-70a3b83c2a37


Thanks for checking it for me!

I don’t know what that file is, and that’s why I ask. 😊


Can you explain why there are two videos that I didn’t shoot?


Also, the question that I asked before—-

how can the hacker put the pictures that I deleted totally back to my Photo app app?


please explain it to me if you can.

Thanks. 😊


I’m pretty sure that my iPhone got hacked by Google analytics employee because the moment that I created an account to login Google support the hacker changed my username already…. 😖😖😖

Just as what I think….. 😩😩😩


Thanks again. 😊😊😊


Aug 4, 2025 3:18 AM in response to BCaoi

I’m 100% sure that I got hacked!!! 😱😱😱

The hacker tried to change my iCloud back up settings, add Apple Cash that I didn’t add , and deleted Find My!!! 😡😡😡


My Apple ID password got hacked, and I have changed my password many times, still doesn’t work… 😩😩😩

I don’t want to reset my iPhone because there are many pictures and my new born grandnephew videos haven’t downloaded to my portable hard drives yet… 😖😖😖


Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!! 😊

Hi leroydouglas,


Thanks for the information!!! 😊


I call the Apple support on Aug. 4.

We will wait and see. 😊


I changed my password and shutdown after the meeting with Apple support.

I turned my iPhone around 8:00 pm this evening.


I got the new evidence today after I put Apple private report on.






Why will Google apis

http://gcs-us-00003.content-storage-download.googleapis.com

pop on the private report on Aug. 4?


It’s Apple support, and the Google apis showed up!!!


It’s the proof that I’ve been hacked by Google Analytics employee!!!


The hacker has been trying to toy me because he or she knows that nobody will believe me!!!


I had had Google analytics app on my iPhone for more than 15 years, so the hacker must has a way the hack my iPhone!!! 😡😡😡


Please continue to help me if you have something.


Thanks!!! 😊😊😊

How many times do we have to say it... there is no hacker from Google analytics.


You have no idea what you're talking about. You're spouting complete nonsense.
