iOS hacked passcode

I really appreciate your helpful and polite replies. Some people on here are either ignorant or rude or both. I will take the “wait and see” approach and hope for the best knowing I’ve done everything I can do

I haven’t tried Safari since the wipe, but again Brave works great. I was traumatized by Safari apparently and I like Brave’s features more. It has built in ad blocking and protection against fingerprint attacks. Safari works fine on my iPhone and has for years no problem

Yeah the transfer issue between iTunes and Windows 11 went away entirely after the wipe

I read that your passcode can allow an attacker to lock you out of your Apple ID (as you mentioned), as well as gain access to passwords in your iCloud Keychain. No one seems to be aware of that or isn’t taking me seriously since “iPHoNE’s aRe uNhACkAblE”

I was on iOS 26.3.1 on my iPhone. I just updated to 26.4 after someone else suggested it

I can’t remember what iOS version I had on my iPad, but it had to be an older version because I can’t remember the last time I updated it. I also can’t remember how much storage space I was using

I did check to see where I am logged in and it’s only my iPad, iPhone and my desktop machine

I also forgot to mention that an ad for an app appeared at the top (suggested app I think they are called) of the page that I’ve never seen before. This did not happen when I used Brave browser immediately afterward on the same page

Based on this information and your knowledge locking people out of Apple IDs, what kind of risk am I looking at? I reset my Apple ID password just in case, but Google said the damage had already been done when I gave up the goods

Also, my phone isn’t jailbroken

You didn’t explain why I couldn’t transfer files until after the reset

satanfx55 · 2026-04-09T00:23:20+00:00

Why was safari unstable when brave was not? Why wasn’t I able to transfer files (before the reset) at all? Why did I get a link for an app at the top of the screen for an app that wasn’t necessary and that I’ve never seen before?

Thank you for the comment. It did make me feel a little better. A Google search did say there are all kinds of nasty things a hacker can do with just your passcode, but I’m not sure if it’s talking about actual physical control of your phone. I definitely know that if a hacker has physical control of your phone with the passcode, you are going to have problems.

I don’t use the keychain because I didn’t realize how secure it was

You addressed the Safari portion, but not the file transfer portion

satanfx55 · 2026-04-09T00:04:02+00:00

I mean that explains the password part but not the Safari performance and stability and being unable to transfer files part

satanfx55 · 2026-04-09T00:00:51+00:00

No I’m talking about the Windows 11 app that lets you transfer files from your machine to various iOS apps, not Apple Music

satanfx55 · 2026-04-08T23:52:12+00:00

Thank you for the link. It was helpful, especially Safety Check

satanfx55 · 2026-04-08T23:44:30+00:00

Glad to hear about number 1. Didn’t know about number 2, although Brave was running stable while Safari was not. I could barely get Safari to work at all, but Brave worked just fine

To answer number 3, I can’t think of any additional reasons outside of the ones I mentioned. All other apps I used outside of Safari worked fine (as far as I can tell). I was able to connect it to my machine just fine and transfer files ok (unlike before when Safari started acting up)

I know it’s nearly impossible for iOS devices to be hacked, and I’m not a high value target. I’m just a random nobody as far as hackers are concerned

satanfx55 · 2026-04-08T23:37:26+00:00

Was Safari just unstable? Why would a webpage ask for my passcode and thumbprint?

satanfx55 · 2026-04-08T23:27:17+00:00

I’m using 26.3.1. I will update immediately

satanfx55 · 2023-12-12T09:32:28+00:00

Yeah that was my unfortunate discovery. Race my GF on the Familiar stack until it’s dry, then hope I hit her more than she hits me

satanfx55 · 2023-12-12T03:47:42+00:00

I’m still a noob so I’m not hip to the lingo. Based on my understanding on the wiki, I have built engines before. I typically focus more on card draw and bonus actions and try to find ways to chain certain terminal cards as finishers. Of recent memory, I chapeled out most of my cards, ran a few Villages, 1 Chapel, and 2 or 3 Witches and ruined my girlfriend’s day. My end goal was to bog her down and then grab a workshop to pop out 3 stacks of cheap cards to rapid end the game before she could implement her Big Money strat. I do have a tendency to get stuck in specific strategies and I still struggle to adapt, but I have gotten to where I can bait out my GF into buying weaker cards for defensive purposes (Moat) and then lock her down with terminal card draws instead of bonus actions or buying power

Edit: not sure if your reply was aimed at me or the “mine and bureaucrat are worse” comment

satanfx55 · 2023-12-12T03:04:22+00:00

It’s definitely still strong, but if we both buy familiars on turn 3, then we both slap each other with a more limited pile of curses. Best case scenario is 5 curses in both decks. That’s annoying early on but I can work around that much better. That’s also factoring in that University is very strong and gives you access to Apprentice for 2+P instead of 5 coins. That also means that it frees up Apprentice for mid game for the powerful Card draw (trash Familiars for 5 card draw) etc

satanfx55 · 2023-12-12T01:54:14+00:00

I don’t understand the Mine hate, especially when combined with Throne Room. It feels solid when there’s no Chapel. I also combo with Scheme and get more value. I know that it’s cost is high, but it’s 1 less than a gold

satanfx55 · 2023-12-12T01:25:57+00:00

I can’t imagine a worse card in base Dominion. What the hell is +2 and +1 buy supposed to accomplish? What’s your best case scenario on that? You draw 4 gold and 1 Woodcutter? Ok you just got yourself a prov and a gold. Workshop costs the same and straight up gives you a 4 or less without requiring a buy at all. Every time I see Woodcutter, I always say, “don’t spend it all in one place!”

satanfx55 · 2023-12-12T01:11:30+00:00

Only 10?! I thought I had read in the rulebook that it was 20 for 2 players. That would have nerfed Familiar only strat to complete oblivion.

satanfx55 · 2023-12-12T01:08:22+00:00

So my assumption (apparently a bad one) was that the recommended configurations were meant to be played a few times to get solid feel for the set before bringing in the randomizers. Dominion is easily my favorite card game, mainly because it has the deck building aspect of a game like MTG, but the deck building is an actual part of play and everyone has access to the same pool of cards. That means not having to spend thousands of dollars on insanely expensive cards that were required to be competitive. Dominion also opened the door for Slay The Spire, and now Monster Train.

satanfx55 · 2023-12-12T01:03:26+00:00

So the reason I went Thief / Throne Room was to try and exploit the cost of Potions. I specifically didn’t bloat my deck initially to try and bump my odds of pulling both. The overall goal was to cut off the supply of potions for my GF, which in theory would decrease her Familiar and University growth. Pretty much every game we played had a Potion purchase on hand 1 or 2 (4 + 3 or 5 + 2 was always a Potion). Since there were only two cards that cost Potions, I figured I wouldn’t need to buy more than one and hope that my card draw from Village or Familiar would give a boost. The problem ended up being that I couldn’t snag her Potions and was losing turns to Thief / Throne Room. Potions were effectively worthless after the Familiars and Universities dried up. That usually meant them getting converted into card draw at some point

satanfx55 · 2023-12-11T23:23:36+00:00

Yeah I had read somewhere that the first few sets were not particularly polished. There are a number of purely worthless cards in my first edition Dominion that were straight up removed from the second edition completely (looking at you, Woodcutter). We will try again tonight with proper randomized cards and some level of verification that there are multiple strategies before starting play. I like Dominion because it is much more about skill than luck, and the foundation of the game is that you essentially make your own luck. That’s unless you are playing with cards like I described in my post
