One clarification… there’s a lot of discussion about an attacker simulating a keyboard or a mouse. That can certainly happen, but more sophisticated attackers would directly attack the phone’s operating system without emulating any particular device. This is why it is so important to apply security updates to your phone… every vulnerability is potentially already being used by an attacker somewhere.
