What an idiot. I just bought the iphone x right out of the box, i chose words/numbers password instead of the normal 6digit passcode, i created very strong powerful password and the moment i verified it the second time i forgot it. I knew it instantly. Every minute that passed after that the memory of the random password i chose completely faded away.
Now since new to apple i followed the instructions on apple page to recover through ITUNES. I plugged the iphone to a windows PC, up down hold restart till the connected logo apeard and i clicked restore or however it was spelled On the PC it showed softoware is being downloaded to restore you iphone and so on (or something like that i am talking on memory) till after like 15 minutes my phone gave back the white welcome screen and i've set it up all over again (this time i remembered the damn password good).
THE PROBLEM is i used an old, used by many people, totally unsecure lalptop that i had. There was no other computer around. The laptop was once infected with a virus and altough they've cleared it up i am not so sure if they did. Also a lot of people touched since it was exchanged between other workers.There was itunes installed on it but i UNINSTALLed it and installed it all over again (on the pc) just to be sure. The laptop was also not regulary updated and still stuck on windows 8 (not 8.1, really outdated)
MY QUESTION is if the laptop was somehow compromised is there danger for my iphone, What exactly did this restoration do and why it took so long? Did it completely reinstalled my IOS operation system or it simply erased it. Is it possible that it installed fake/maliscious IOS or the iphone wont install anything except the original ios? I am bit paranoid but just go the device out of the box and i had to connect it with an old used unsecure laptop that made be bit angry of my self. Please tell me there is nothing to worry about, but if there is something share it imidiatelly. Thanks
