Pretty sure someone tried to hack my phone using a radio phone

at newport train station

dodgy looking guy sat down near me and he had two phones, a normal phone and a phone that he was trying to conceal under it that was a radio phone.

I was listening to a book on audible using wired ear buds, not bluetooth, bluetooth is always off unless at home

my connection to audible was cut and i got an error message. first time ever.

my phone is pretty secure and i have very little on it, no apple account access, no bank, etc

but still ๐Ÿคจ

I walked away , went around a wall and my audible connection returned

I am home now ( I always post here on my PC, not my phone ) and just looking thru my phone to make sure it's not compromised

    They send signals that mimic cell phone tower signals and try to connect to your phone that way

    also, I don't just accept what happens on my phone. Everything has a cause. If files are removed, if apps are changed, if I get messages, if connections change, something is happening with my phone and something caused it.

    I quietly warned another passenger that was also nearby

    told him to check his banking and such
