HT1212 Possible iPhone Hack.

Hello, my sister thinks her black iPhone 4S has been hacked. She origianlly had a 7 digit passcode on the lock screen, and while it was in her hand the phone went black and automatically turned into a 4 digit passcode for the lock screen. She is quite worried. We would like to know how to get into the iPhone without having to wipe the entire phone blank. Please get back to us as soon as possible. Thank you.
P.S. The iPhone is also with Virgin mobile.

READ the article from which the question was posted. It clearly details how to deal with the situation.
Passcodes do not magically change.
Unless the iPhone has been jailbroken it cannot be hacked.

It wasn't your iPhone that was hacked, but your email account (or
messaging account) that was hacked. Immediately change all your
passwords for such accounts.

Anything is possible.
it could be off or not connected to wi-fi.
It could have been found and restored.
In any of these cases you will not be able to find it.

Is your device jailbroken? If so, it's possible.
If the device is not jailbroken, it is not possible for the device to be hacked.

Is it possible to hack an iPhone 4 remotely using only a laptop?

My fiance' had a strange interaction with a person at McDonalds today. She was on her iPhone 4, on Facebook, and a person came and sat near her, opened a laptop and started to hit on her. He had no food, and proceeded to pester her for a few minutes before he finally got the message and left. He got right up, closed his laptop, went to his car and left.
Can an iPhone be hacked in a scenario like that? There has been no unusual activity, but having already been the victim of identity theft, I'm very paranoid.
So, what do you think? Creep or crook?

There is a possible explanation for what he was doing. McDonalds hotspots are not secure. There is software available that can record the traffic going over the hotspot. If you record a few minutes worth of packets you can find the user IDs and passwords for the email accounts of anyone using the hotspot to check or send email if they have not set up SSL or TLS for their email accounts. Likewise for logging in to web sites. Just about all banks and other financial institutions require SSL to log in, but many smaller retail sites many not. So this is another source of data that can be used for identity theft.

Is it possible to hack into someone's iPhone 4 and see there text messages

Is it possible to see hack into someone's iphone4 and view there text messages!

Sure, anything can be hacked...but they would need physical possession of your phone to do so.

Iphone hacked? Please help on how to detect and remove possible malicious software/apps

Hi,
I have an iphone 4s. I've installed iOS 7. Some one has been harrasing me and seems to have access to my info on the phone. I use icloud and the phone apps for calendar and they seem to know detail that are only in my calendar on my phone.
I have changed the password for icloud from a safe computer many times and have re-installed the OS on the phone and have gone through all the apps and removed any that I don't absolutely trust.
Is there any way to see if there is an app on the phone that enables hacking/sharing of the info. on that phone?
Any advice on what to do? It's not that information about my calendar is all that important but it just creepy that someone would be so evil to do so and it creeps me out-I want to make sure my phone is private and only I have access to my own information.
Any help and advice is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Unless your iPhone has been jailbroken it cannot be hacked.
The person is obtaining the information form somewhere else.
Do they have access to your email account like Google? or Hotmail? If your Calendar is linked to those and they have access they would be able to see your calendar.
As was suggested above, change your Email account passwords.

Iphone hacked by scam emails?

A few days ago while I was looking for a job I sent an email (from my mail app in my iphone 4S) to someone who was seeking a babysitter. I received a reply from the person from another email address asking my a bunch of questions (which didn't look right to me since i've done this before) so I checked to see the senders name and email and searched it online and it happens that it was a scam job post, well since then every now and then when i open my mail app the screen (sort of like a contact window which on top says sender and Linda Walker with an email ) pops open and closes in like a second, I can't do anything because it changes/closes screen alone so fast and it only happens when i click on the mail app to open it. I created a new email account and deleted the other one and it still happens. Why??? Is it possible my phone is hacked? How can i know? I haven't done anything to my iphone like jailbreak or however its called or charged my iphone in any public place or my wifi is disconnected, also my phone is software is updated. Please help!!! Im afraid to even check my bank account in my iphone because of that.

No, it is not possible your phone is hacked from an email.
It's most likely a mal-formed email that causes Mail to crash.
Log in to your email account on a computer via webmail, delete the offending email(s) and it should clear the problem.
There was no point in creating a new email account.

Suggestion for a possible iphone with slide out keyboard.

I dont really know if there is a suggestion forum but i thought it would be neat if apple designed a iphone with a physical keyboard for those people who love to text. Apple could even run a internet pole to see what there customers would think i mean the iphone is top notch but i think having one with a slide out keyboard could possibly increase apples sales. Any who just thought id throw that out there and keep up the great work Apple.

This is where you need to go with your suggestion: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
I would not hold my breath.

Is my iPhone hacked?

Hi guys. Im sorry this is so long but please read! this is getting quite frustrating but my phone is out of space capacity. HOWEVER, it has been like this for the last 2 months and it still has worked fine, and i am able to save pictures by taking them in an app called snapchat and saving them to camera roll. For some reason this works, and I just continued doing this for the last 2 months or so. However, today, i was saving multiple pictures, and my snapchat froze completely. I checked my camera roll and saw a bunch of greyed out pictures as awell as a white picture with the words jpeg. in it. I also saw it said Restoring... at the bottom of my camera roll. I reset my phone and tried to delete a few pictures and it seemed to stop. Then, problems started happening with imsg. Its weird. sometimes my msgs will go through, sometimes they wont. It'll say sending 1 of 2 and when i close the app because it wont send, my msg will vanish and itll return the to last convo i had. Also, when i reset my phone at this time, it deleted all my msgs and randomly on the screen a bunch of notifications came up from 8 hours ago, and all my recent msgs were deleted. Basically imsg is barely working and sending. Then, while on safari I was searching if my phone was hacked and if my snapchat was hacked or what not, and it would suddenly close. When going to websites not regarding hacking it didnt close, and whenever i searched for a particular issue it closed on me. I found this really strange. Also randomly the apple symbol came up and my phone did a quick like 5 second reset, which was really strange. Finally, my mail just simply DOES not work AT all right now. when i click on the icon it crashes completely. and before it started crashing my mail kept getting notifications from like a few days ago and it kept coming in one after another. Now my mail is completely wiped but before it got wiped a huge amount of mail came in from "No sender" and dating back from 2000. Also I sometimes get random vibration sounds on my phone just randomly vibrates and buzzes. This all happened today. Im sorry if its so long, and if you guys have any other questions about what happened I'll answer. Im just worried is it hacked?

Ok. what i think im going to do is clear my camera roll which contains about 6gb, and transfer it on my computer. Then I'll do a restore. Thanks for your help though, and one last question though! Is there any possibility that it could be a remote hack? AND, lets just say the guy did hack my phone, remotely, or through my snapchat account/password, could that person increase the amount of radiation emitted from the phone to potentially harm me, OR could he track and look at my snapchats and pictures? i heard that both these things are possible from a few people. And thank you again, for your assistance!

Is my iphone hacked/infected?

Connected the iphone4 to the laptop, opened the internal storage to copy my images, and found - for the first time - 2 files named "Local Disk" 323bytes and 1.24kb with the drive icon, can't open them and it seems like a virus. is my iphone infected? hacked? or is it my laptop? and if it's my laptop would it affect my iphone? cause those 2 files are on the internal storage of the iphone.

Why does it "seem like a virus"?
Not every unexplained thing in technology is automatically a virus.
These files are normal and nothing to worry about. They will disappear when you remove the images from the phone. Do not attempt to delete things you don't understand the purpose of.

HT1212 My iphone is disabled and I do not have access to computer. What do I do?

My iphone is disabled and I do not have access to a computer....what do I do?

One option if you have Find My iPhone turned on:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
"If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode."
This still requires access either to a computer or another iOS device.
