Yep. I'm 100% sure that's what happened. But somehow she gets a new CC and within 24 hours the number is on the street and being run again. She even changed banks and the same thing happened. As soon as the number gets entered in one of her iDevices, it's out there.

Where is your mother entering in her credit card details?
Adding the card to wallet? Saving the card details to safari auto fill? PayPal? Just using the card on an online store?

Yeah good questions- likely hood of phone etc being hacked so much lower than a phishing attack
Have you checked the browser on computer for a keyboard sniffer?

There was a suspicious looking pay "ad-blocker" app that I removed; otherwise no extensions on any of the browsers as far as I can tell.

Worth googling it to see what others say

Reviews made it seem legit, but I remain skeptical. Thanks for the thought though.

Great questions. Pretty sure she had it in the Apple Pay for whatever reason. Yes to wallet, I think. No to autofill and Paypal. Yes to online shopping. But suspicious charges have shown up with a new card on like, the second day when she's only been grocery shopping. It's flippin' weird.
The other concern is her online banking. We have changed her bank account password and I basically told her she's not allowed to look at her account on these devices until I get them wiped.

Not sure why the downvote, I'm reporting what happened.

Is there a chance someone has spoofed her SIM card and is intercepting information. It’s unlikely that the data is being leaked from the iPhone side.

Plausible, but she doesn't access her bank account from the phone, only the imac.
