I still use a flip phone…one of those that are almost impossible to hack into.

  Hi Suze. Yes that is true. But while I dislike to talk on the phone, not a fan of it, I love the other features of my iPhone. I use them all the time. But our Asus router Hugs. Scottie got hit with a Russian bot virus I couldn’t clear, it got encoded into the bios then locked any change to the bios. So we had to buy a new one. Currently my model / brand router is not on known hacked lists, but it is possible. I reset it often. Hugs. Scottie
