The plan to solve the bug involves updating the README.md
file to provide users with a clear understanding of the issue and directing them to a new SECURITY.md
file. The SECURITY.md
file will contain detailed instructions on how to recover locked notes, identify the correct IP address, and report the incident. This approach ensures that users have the necessary resources to address their problems, reducing confusion and unresolved issues.
The bug is not caused by a specific piece of code but rather by the lack of information and guidance provided to the users. The README.md
file currently contains minimal information about the issue, and the SECURITY.md
file is empty. This lack of documentation leaves users without the necessary resources to address their problems, leading to confusion and unresolved issues.
Here are the implementation details and code snippets for the updated README.md
and the new SECURITY.md
files:
# Locked Notes on iPhone
## Issue Overview
A hacker with the private relay address `vgj2sn8x6@privaterelay.appleid.com` and various IP addresses (204.19.119.1, 17.42.251.11, 17.56.9.16, 17.57.154.16) has locked 550 notes on an iPhone. Out of these, 455 notes are not syncing to iCloud. Another email address involved is `Johnbuddy12345677email@email.com`. The hacker accessed the iPhone through open Cisco and cloud mail, according to the phone's analytics.
## How to Resolve
For detailed instructions on how to recover your locked notes, identify the correct IP address, and report the incident, please refer to the [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) file.
# Security Guidelines
## Recovering Locked Notes
If you find that your notes have been locked by an unauthorized party, follow these steps to recover them:
1. **Check iCloud Sync**: Ensure that your device is properly synced with iCloud. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud and make sure Notes is turned on.
2. **Restore from Backup**: If your notes are not syncing, try restoring your device from a previous backup where the notes were not locked. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, then restore from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
3. **Contact Apple Support**: If you are unable to recover your notes, contact Apple Support for further assistance.
## Identifying the Correct IP Address
To identify the correct IP address associated with unauthorized access:
1. **Review Analytics Data**: Go to Settings > Privacy > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data. Look for any unusual entries that may indicate unauthorized access.
2. **Use Network Tools**: Utilize network tools such as `whois` or `nslookup` to gather more information about the IP addresses in question.
3. **Consult with a Security Expert**: If you are unsure about the IP addresses, consult with a cybersecurity expert for a detailed analysis.
## Reporting the Incident
If you believe your device has been compromised, report the incident to the appropriate authorities:
1. **Apple Support**: Contact Apple Support to report the issue and seek assistance.
2. **Local Law Enforcement**: Report the incident to your local law enforcement agency, providing them with all relevant information, including IP addresses and any suspicious activity.
3. **Cybersecurity Agencies**: Report the incident to national cybersecurity agencies or organizations that handle cybercrime.
