Title: Is my iPhone hacked? Post by: WeThePe0ple on September 20, 2022, 06:59:41 PM Strange sequence of things that happened.
Last week I looked into tickets for tennis games at the Laver Cup in London next weekend. Roger Federer is retiring from tennis there. I have a fake account on Facebook, so I can talk in all anonymity. I commented on a facebook article about Federer in London. Shortly after that I get a reply from an Indian username, with a link to purchase tickets for that event. I did NOT click on that link. I did not even reply. A few hours later, I got a phonecall from the UK. Which is not the country where i am residing. It was a registered phone number. I did not answer. An hour later I got a different phonecall from a different number. Also a different area, but still from England. I have never shared my phone nr with anyone. What could possibly have happened? I have not purchased any cryptos yet, but if people already have access to my phone nr (malware?) I don't feel safe. Title: Re: Is my iPhone hacked?

If you didnt click any links then I dont think this is how your phone number became available to uk phone numbers and you cant be hacked from making a comment on Facebook.

Last week I looked into tickets for tennis games at the Laver Cup in London next weekend. What do you mean by you "looked into tickets"? Is it possible that this action put you on a list that was sold to ticket sellers? Title: Re: Is my iPhone hacked? Post by: WeThePe0ple on September 21, 2022, 03:09:42 PM Possibly, but probably not. Last week I looked into tickets for tennis games at the Laver Cup in London next weekend. What do you mean by you "looked into tickets"? Is it possible that this action put you on a list that was sold to ticket sellers? At first I looked for tickets online, but did not make a purchase. Shortly after that there was a facebook article saying that some tickets were resold for 25 000 euros and more. I commented on it and got a quick reply from an Indian guy. I never clicked on his link but I think this was some scammer who got to my personal details anyway. I entered my email address in a database (www.haveibeenpwned.com) and found out today that there were 10 breaches between 2016 and 2020. Probably email, address and phone nr. If I want to get serious about crypto, I'll have to protect myself better. I just don't know how to be 100% safe. One of the measures is that I will never, EVER, enter my seed phrase on my laptops keyboard. If an Indian scammer hits me with a key logger, I'm done. I'll only enter my seed phrase on the Ledger device itself. I've made a new email address for crypto stuff via protonmail. And I consider buying a separate phone for crypto dealings. But that comes at a price. Title: Re: Is my iPhone hacked? Post by: Chelsat on September 21, 2022, 10:24:43 PM It looks like
