This is a problem even without this. The account owner can get lists of all outbound calls of their victim’s line if they share a plan.

The fcc requires some remediation if a domestic abuse order is submitted but obviously that’s at the far end of the abuse cycle.

The issue here can be traced all the way to phone companies pushing the very concept of family plans because it makes churn more difficult.

An abuser can shut off their victim’s phone line on a whim with convenient online interfaces.

Phone companies don’t treat their customers will respect because their is no requirement. No one of adult age should be subjected to any of these controls simply because someone else pays.

The health industry has rules around this. The moment a child hits 18, their claims disappear and the parent loses access to medical records.

Was there actual suspicious activity? Did an actual Apple representative ever contact you because it sounds like the whole thing was a phish but you make it sound like they just got the case number and timing when the more likely scenario is that the email was also them.

They are the ones that talk to the customers so the engineers don’t have to.

Often those customers are others in the same company.

What exactly do you think the vm is running on if not the system kernel with potentially more layers.
