mail, safari or messages as an entry point. I presume that its a bug not confined to cellular operations.

(Additional areas of concern in theory include: App Store, keychains, USB, Bluetooth.)

Turn off Javascript in Safari is a key trick. (this will disable K and R in DU. so, i turn javascript on briefly).

Ad blockers are also a help.

Update other browsers if you have them.

Reboot your phone.
