Hi,


Sorry to be clear, someone you don’t know has access to your YouTube premium account? If yes then resetting the phone won’t help. You best option is to reset your Google password and turn on two factor authentication.

Don’t tell me I wasn’t hacked honey because when I looked at my activity, it literally says when they was watching what I was searching and tells me what camera is active which is my phone camera that they activated through Google something I guess it like Google cast or Google mirror or whatever they wanna call it I have screenshots of it but it won’t let me post it on here, so yes I have been honey

Hi MommiesBabys,


iPhones are extremely secure and arguably one of the most secure devices on the market. Normally iPhone breaches are state sponsored teams. If you're seeing several of your accounts being breached it would suggest someone has gotten access to your passwords. I've seen cases where people have used the same password for several accounts meaning an attacker can breach several accounts with the same credentials. My advice would be to start changing passwords on your accounts, makes the passwords different and strong. Enable two factor authentication where possible. A password manager is a great tool to help you manage your passwords. Apple's built in key chain app is pretty good. There are other options out there like BitWarden. This article may be helpful I finding a password manager. https://www.howtogeek.com/780233/best-password-manager/
