A: Unauthorized access to and tampering with someone else's electronic devices, like your tablet and cell phone, can potentially lead to criminal charges, such as unauthorized access to computer systems, identity theft, or unauthorized use of personal information. It's important to consult with law enforcement and consider filing a police report to investigate the matter further. Additionally, consult with an attorney to explore potential legal actions or remedies available in your specific jurisdiction.
