How To Remove A Hacker From Your iPhone

The world of tech can be an interesting one. It’s constantly evolving and updating, meaning the pressure to keep up is almost always on. However, this isn’t always a positive pressure. Losing your personal data, photos and documents are never fun. But what about when hackers get their hands on your info and start using it to hack into other accounts? You know how awful it can feel if you’ve ever been hacked. Even if you have good friends who will forgive you for not telling them sooner, it still stings a little bit every time you get locked out of another account again because someone hacked your password or email address. You might think: Well, I don’t have anything important to lose… but that’s what they want you to think! Here are some tips on how to remove a hacker from your iPhone and prevent this from happening again in the future.

How To Remove A Hacker From Your iPhone

1. Change your passwords

If you were hacked via email or password, the hacker likely has access to all your accounts. Even if they don’t, they’ve still got your email and password, meaning they can quickly get into any account that you have with that email. The best thing to do when you’ve been hacked is to change all of your passwords. You don’t have to do this all at once, but you should make a note to change your passwords for critical accounts as soon as possible. You should change passwords for your email account, social media accounts, online banking accounts, and any other sites that use your email for login. You might also want to change the password for your cell phone number so that the hacker can’t use that to reset the passwords on any other accounts.

2. Check your credit report

Hackers often try to steal your identity to get access to your money. If you’ve been hacked, it’s always a good idea to check your credit report to ensure that the hacker hasn’t applied for credit under your name. You can get a free credit report on AnnualCreditReport.com once every 12 months. Even if you’ve been hacked and don’t notice anything at first, it’s best not to ignore it and hope it goes away. The sooner you catch identity theft, the more likely you’ll be able to minimize its impact.

3. Contact Apple and other companies

You should contact Apple to let them know what happened if you’ve been hacked. You should also contact companies that have apps on your phone, like your bank or payment apps. Tell them that you’ve changed your email address and want to ensure that the hackers can’t access your account with the new email address. If you notice any unusual activity on your bank accounts, report it to your bank. Even if you’re unsure, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Contact your credit card company immediately if you notice unusual charges on your credit card bills.

4. Run an antivirus scan
