        Let me guess, it was an iPhone? Someone just used AirDrop and you might’ve allowed everyone sending you files.

          It was Android :-) WiFi, NFC and BT turned off. It was Android 12 I believe, back in 2022.

              Nope - aware of juice jackers, so I only used my own cables and adapters (even have a USB condom).

              I’m generally pretty security aware, but my only theory of how it landed there is some cellular exploit. Whether it was a crafted MMS, a custom cell site, or something else I don’t know.

              I did use mobile data for some ubers, but that was off-site.
