Many people use iPhone these days. However, we have some sad news for iPhone users. Because according to a new report, thieves have found a new way to access personal data such as bank accounts of iPhone users.Even your recovery key may not be able to recover your stolen Apple ID
In a report by WSJ, an iPhone user named Greg Frasca said he stole his iPhone 14 Pro at a bar in Chicago after someone saw him enter his passcode. Allegedly, the thief stole the iPhone in order to gain access to the victim’s banking and Apple Pay accounts. The thieves managed to gain access to the iPhone via the password and changed the Apple ID password so that the user could not access the Apple account.
The thieves also activated the Recovery Key feature to prevent the iPhone owner from accessing their Apple ID. The Recovery Key feature is a randomly generated 28-character code that helps you change your password or revert to your Apple ID. So if someone knows your password and can access your iPhone, they can lock your Apple ID and disable tracking.“We sympathize with people with this experience and take all attacks on our users, no matter how rare, very seriously. We work tirelessly every day to protect our users’ accounts and data, and we are always looking for additional protections against emerging threats like this,” said Apple. ” said.
If someone has accessed your device’s password, there’s not much you can do. For this reason, it is recommended to use Face ID and Touch ID in public.
