hacking: security in practice
Can someone in the Navy hack into my phone?
So I've been in a domestic abuse situation for a while now, and 2 months ago, my mother and I finally decided to run away from my stepdad/ her husband. They're currently separated, but he still calls her for random stuff here and there. He's called about 4 times telling her he's behind her on a road or the freeway, just randomly. For a while, we were concerned he had installed a GPS on our cars. Recently, she spoke to a [male] friend she hadn't spoken to in a while. He never allowed her to talk to friends, and if she did, he'd get really mad. So immediately after talking to this friend, he calls her angrily, but doesn't say why he's pissed. The next day, he calls her JUST to tell her that his son (who's in Cyber Security in the Navy), was able to access his phone from where he was, and "solve an issue" his phone had been having. His brand new iPhone. So my mom simply replies like "okay? That's cool?" But anyway, now she's stressing out that maybe he is using his son's help to track her and access everything on her phone, but I don't know if this is even possible?
Note: I feel like taking advantage of things you learn in the Navy to breach someone's privacy sounds highly illegal, and it makes me wonder if we're really worth facing a ton of charges and maybe prison. But also, this man literally lost a job because he refused to go so he could stay home making sure my mom didn't go out anywhere, or talk to anyone.
So is it possible he is watching everything we do with help from his son...? Is there any way for me to find out whether or not my phone or my mother's phone is being hacked? Another weird thing I've noticed is that my phone's battery (iPhone 11 I got about a year and a half ago) suddenly started depleting really fast, and I couldn't figure out why. Is this a sign it's being hacked...?
Sorry for the long post, I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit either, but it was worth a shot. Thank you!

Insurance Giant CNA Hit with Novel Ransomware Attack

A novel ransomware attack forced insurance giant CNA to take systems offline and temporarily shutter its website. The attack leveraged a new variant of the Phoenix CryptoLocker malware.
The Chicago-based company—the seventh largest commercial insurance provider in the world—said it “sustained a sophisticated cybersecurity attack” on Sunday, March 21, according to a statement on the home page of its website. The statement is the only functionality the company’s site currently maintains.
“The attack caused a network disruption and impacted certain CNA systems, including corporate email,” according to the statement.
Though the company did not elaborate on the nature of the attack, a report in BleepingComputer said CNA was the victim of a new ransomware called Phoenix CryptoLocker. Cryptolockers are an oft-used type of ransomware that immediately encrypt files on the machines they attack and demand a ransom from the victims in exchange for the key to unlocking them.
Moreover, the threat actors behind Phoenix CryptoLocker are likely known entities–the cybercrime group Evil Corp, which recently resurfaced after taking a short hiatus from cybercriminal activity, according to the report.

The impact of the group’s latest attack was so serious that CNA disconnected its systems from its network “out of an abundance of caution” and is currently providing workarounds for employees where possible so the company can continue operating to serve its customers, the company said.
Sources familiar with the attack have told BleepingComputer that threat actors encrypted more than 15,000 devices on CNA’s network—including those of employees working remotely who were logged onto the company’s VPN at the time—when they deployed the new ransomware on Sunday, according to the report.
Attackers encrypted devices by appending the .phoenix extension to encrypted files and creating a ransom note named PHOENIX-HELP.txt, according to BleepingComputer.
Evil Corp has been in the crosshairs of U.S. authorities since 2019, when they offered up $5 million for information leading to the arrest of Evil Corp leader Maksim V. Yakubets, 32, of Russia, who goes under the moniker “aqua” and is known for leading a lavish lifestyle.
Indeed, the cybercrime group has reaped millions from various nefarious activities, which previously included capturing banking credentials with the Dridex banking trojan and then making unauthorized electronic funds transfers from unknowing victims’ bank accounts.
See Also: Information Security Tool: Chameleon Sources believe that Phoenix Cryptolocker is a product of Evil Corp based on similarities in the code to previous ransomware used by the group, according to the report. In previous ransomware attacks—such as one against GPS technology provider Garmin last year–Evil Corp used WastedLocker ransomware to encrypt victims’ files.
CNA aims to restore its systems using backup rather than pay the ransom demanded by attackers, according to BleepingComputer. The company is currently in the midst of an ongoing investigation into the incident that started immediately after its discovery, the company said.
“We have alerted law enforcement and will be cooperating with them as they conduct their own investigation,” the c[...]
