Sim Card and Phone Hacked twice in 3 months!

My passwords kept telling me they were wrong, 2 step factor not working either. Not getting emails, calls or texts. It got worse and worse. I had to write down my accounts and passwords. It could take 20 minutes or more just to long into one email account. More and more it got worse. Apps  and email accounts would just be gone altogether. Settings would be changed . My deck lights were set up as a network, really?  So, I got a new phone and  number, new email accounts etc.. I bought Ultimate Bitdefender software on top of Digital Security with Verizon. I had Google and Microsoft authenticators,  Defender, 2 way factors, windows Hello, fingerprints, pin numbers, passkeys, passcodes and so on. I even bought YubiKeys and Titan Keys. Well, I got hacked on my new phone with a new number with all that security, three months later. I even bought new home networking  hardware and software. New LapTop and Tablet. I don't think you can really do much more. Sounds safe right? No.  Verizon customer service had me take out the Sim Card and created me a ESim Card. Boy what fun I'm having now. My new Samsung Ultra 23 Note is worthless. Even worse now that the Sim 1 card is out. I was told that I cant ever put it back in by customer service. The way I see it is, I should not have to be stuck paying for a phone and service for a hacker and I can't even log into my emails.  I'm out thousands because of this.  Never using Verizon or Samsung again. Change your passwords as often as you can.  I have to change mine at least three times a day. And it's a true chore and takes time to do it. Samsung requires a gmail account. Guess I'll be using a walmart burner phone, while the hacker enjoys the next 2 years of free unlimited data services that I'm stuck paying for under contract or I'll get bad credit right?  Thanks a lot....

I'm having a very similar experience mine started with a compromised Google account and spread to everything that you mentioned above including the security keys. I'm so sorry for everything you went through I know how horrible it is now that I'm experiencing it myself. Not sure what to add other than hang in there, they want you to give up! I'm not out of the woods with mine yet but trying everyday. I ended up getting a new line that I had to change the phone number on and I am literally considering buying an RV leaving all of these devices behind and buying new ones on my way out of town that that's no joke either! It's just too much it's too pernicious and malicious and persistent.
