I have some stored passwords, eBay, PayPal, Amazon, bank - is it after them?So have I got tracking or spyware on my iPhone?
If I change my passwords won't it know in that case?
I've never been a victim of cyber crime (I honestly can't believe I opened that!!!), are we covered by the banks if our accounts are hacked? PayPal?
Kim, the link you posted tells you to change your passwords on another device. Sorry I don't know enough about cyber crime to advise you. You may be able to get more specific help on the "Techie stuff" board ?❤️Mum 2018

Kim if you are unsure go to the techy board for help. I would get a virus checker app or a malware app then change all passwords, you may have been hackedBlessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
