Hi,
My son's iPhone 13 was hacked and taken over on Friday, which resulted in the hackers changing his Verizon pw, his credit card pw, etc. and we're trying to figure out how this might have happened. Once the hackers had control of his phone, they were able to reply to the double verification texts that the several credit card companies sent out. Would they have absolutely have needed his Verizon pw or would the phone's login PIN be enough?
His model 13 had a esim, which Verizon is now replacing with a physical sim. COuld this be the weak point? Are hackers using devices to read the esim from say, a local cafe?
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
