Tech giant and iPhone maker Apple Inc. responded to a report published Friday that detailed how scammers and criminals are spying on iPhone users’ passcodes before stealing their device and gaining access, stealing thousands of dollars in the process.
Every one of the victims interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, for its front page article titled “A Basic iPhone Feature Helps Criminals Steal Your Entire Digital Life,” said their iPhones were stolen while they were at public places at night or in bars. At least one said they were drugged before their device was stolen and unlocked, others said their iPhones were grabbed from their hands by a person they had just met, some said they were assaulted, and some described other scenarios, according to the paper.
