Camera My mom got hacked…

Post image

So my mom’s whole phone got hacked a while back. Every account she had on her phone was taken. She had these google nest cameras I have no idea anything beyond that. I can’t find a factory reset button and she can no longer get into her account and she can’t get into the email used for the account. Is there anything we can do so she can’t use her cameras again? Also picture for reference

iphone devices can get hacked just like any device. Its just a matter of tricking the victim to click yes/accept to a few prompts. Happens all the time, especially with elderly people falling for refund/ransomware/pig butchering scams.

This is just a moronic take.
