XCODEGHOST/SPYWARE

[Starwood84859191]

I was recently informed by Lookout that my IPhone 5c has the XCODEGHOST virus on it. I am also pretty confident that I have some sort of spyware on it that is changing my email passwords, reading text & email messages & listening to phone conversations. I would really appreciate any help I can get! I'm getting lots of strange reports under Usage & Diagnostic in Settings. This has been going on for about 5 weeks. Last night I upgraded to latest IOS 9 version. Could anyone tell me what this report means?

i am having the same problem. Is there an answer somewhere that I am not seeing?

Welcome to iPhone Forums!

No, sorry. This was the OP’s only post, and he didn’t return to inform about a solution.

This shouldn’t happen on a stock iPhone. Is your device jailbroken?

 

[scifan57]

If you have a backup made before this problem started you could erase your iPhone and restore if from that backup.

It may be. Something is definitely wrong. How can I check? What can I do to stop the nonsense with this phone?

There could be an app like Cydia on your iPhone, or you can find a profile you didn‘t install in Settings.

To get rid of a jailbreak, restore your iPhone to factory settings:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings using a computer - Apple Support

A factory restore erases the information and settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod and installs the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or iPod software.

support.apple.com

or use DFU mode:

How To Put An iPhone In DFU Mode, The Apple Way

DFU stands for Device Firmware Update, and it's the deepest type of restore you can do on an iPhone. An Apple lead genius taught me how to put iPhones

www.payetteforward.com

Don‘t restore from a most recent backup, if you don‘t know whether or not your iPhone is or was jailbroken.
