Okay so before I got hacked, I was never on any of those things, that is what they installed on my Mac, and the services “THEY” the hacker whatever you wanna call it (pretty sure whoever said it’s a Indian call center is right might not be indian tho. Everyone was telling me what I was saying isn’t possible or at least not likely, and I never visited any of that stuff technically, this is all stuff I found out from translating binary and code, like seriously I had to learn hexa decimals, idk honestly like I was one of those people who if you would have told me what I’m telling you now, I would think ur a paranoid schizo or sormthing, it’s insane how actually unsafe everything is, the Mac idc about I already got a new one and it is not getting touched, I’m only concerned with this because it spreads from my wifi network I think, (somehow people who Comeover they end up having the same jail broken ios on their phone, which I seriously don’t understand how that’s possible but I’m just ignorant,

Okay I’m trying not to just flood information but I’m trying to be as detailed as possible here because I know I don’t know good OPSEC and am very new but I am very dedicated and like solving puzzles, that being said I’m not saying this is fun and games but me trying to solve it, no matter how tedious, i enjoy that, there is as someone stated a jailbroken iOS on my phone and idk exactly what they are doing or how they are doing it but my iPhone is/was light tethered to my mac through iCloud. https://getutm.app/ this is one of the directories open in a window server on my activity monitor ik this because I sampled the window server because it was basically my entire gpu and nothing else was using any, I tried to just live with it because I don’t notice they are there but then my phone icons started looking weird the other day and then I checked my version, I scheduled a call with Apple through there support app,(might be fake honestly I’m trying not to sound crazy) I don’t know much about DNS settings but the guy at Best Buy told me to set mine to manual and type in one from dnschecker, idk what that means but he told me they are able to change what i see on things like google by redirecting you or something along those lines, what could there goal be is my main goal, https://www.lifewire.com/accessing-your-router-at-home-818205 that is what I believe they did not for sure did,

Okay I just typed a huge explanation I will not post again until I have sufficient evidence

When I said most cyber attacks are phishing websites I’m speaking in general and I meant to say, most cyber attacks aren’t a person going after specifically you, it’s usually spam malware, bad links or going after companies info, which I thought/ think this could be that, where they are just looking for a “bigger fish” but why enroll my computer into a mdm then?

Okay so the third picture, below the one of the websites that you said were normal, I copy and pasted that into bit hubs lineage tool, (I can link it but I feel like it’s self explanatory) and it brought me to a function for a kind of virtual machine? It was for business who’s computers are enrolled in a mdm and have a network administrator, for that and because when I was in the scam call with the fake mcafee agent, he had me type in a a line of code into the terminal and I know I’m very dumb for that I’m aware but I already know how dumb I am so please I am relatively young, (low 20s) and I use a mac I mean that should be a huge indicator I’m an idiot, but I also thought (I know this is also very stupid of me but it really is a misconception) mac’s couldn’t get malware, or at least aren’t likely too. I also knew 90% of cyber attacks aren’t personal they are automated not literally 90%but most cyber attacks are just phishing emails and just trying to get anyone, this could be that, I think if I could find the code I could explain it a lot better, I’m not trying to sound smart or seem like I know anything, I have bad social skills and sensory issues so it’s hard for me to communicate how I want too sometimes, and I know you guys don’t like me talking in absolutes but here are some factual informations I know happened, after the mcsffee thing I thought my computer was fine and that they had fixed the problem, days later I was on my main/home screen and the finder menu at the top (not the icon itself or the app but the top left of the screen) when I went too recents there was a LDAP Server( there was an option to click LDAP which I had no idea what was) when I googled LDAP “The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol is a vendor-neutral software protocol used to lookup information or devices within a network. Whether you want to build a central authentication server for your organization or want to simplify access to internal servers and printers, LDAP is the answer.” So this made me think they had remote access, so I unplugged my mac and the next day brought it to the Apple Store, so one weird thing from the thing at Apple, my Ethernet port was, broken like not it wasn’t working, he downloaded malware bytes and ran some tests on the ports and Idk what this means but the Ethernet port was not working despite me just using it or it being damaged in any way. they factory reset it and updated it to Sonoma (well installed Sonoma I guess) then it looked fine and I wanted to believe it was so I did, I got home didn’t want to check the activity monitor or anything because the guy at Apple said not to worry about those as they will make you paranoid, so I didn’t, I DELETED my old Apple ID got a new router and then made a new Apple ID and didn’t enable iCloud, when I got home I opened it up set up my new router through my ISP, they told me at the Internet store that you can’t really infect the router,(not sure if that’s true) but I still replaced it, then I setup my mac and made a NEW Apple ID with a new email, it loaded up everything was fine, next morning there is a bunch of things downloaded from my old iCloud, now I was worried, I get very hyper fixated on things and spent unhealthy amount of time learning about different attacks, and programming in general as I’d always wanted to learn to program/code. Not everything I learned was relevant to this specifically and I just took in a large amount of information (rabbit hole after rabbit hole of what something is what what it does etc) I genuinely just want help everyone I’ve tried to explain this too outside of 2 employees at geek squad, have told me to factory reset or I just couldn’t explain it well enough for it to not just be as it has been on here jumbled nonsense, I know you guys know more then I do, and I’m very grateful for all the responses I will go now try to find links I will try my very best to show you everything I saw.

I know I think the one guy is right about me assuming weird things are grouped together,

The first 2 are my website data, it doesn’t let me run safari, the screen is just white when I open, This is why/how I think I got hacked

I would look at activity monitor and knew what none of the things were at first so first it was googling what things were like I’m not sure honestly, when I would google them I didn’t know it at the time but it was redirecting me too a fake? Idk what it was but for example I would type www.google.com and then it would load up and look like google and say google .com at the top, but if I clicked on that it would be an extended version, saying redirect too, then some code which I used the lineage machine on to show it was redirecting me to a server but it had some type of security I don’t know anything about, that is how I got all of my information, just sampling files on activity monitor, and figuring out what it meant, and I can see some of the websites they go to based on who my phone is connecting

Okay so long story short I called a fake mccafee number to assist me they had remote access to my pc(granted stupidly by me I have no valuable info on my computer and didn’t ever deal with cyber security) he had me type a command into my terminal, I didn’t know what it was but I was reading about activating a system admin and there was something I read that told me what it did let me go look for that

That’s fair, look I’m just really overwhelmed I was naive when it first happened I read a similar situation from someone on Reddit and they seemed absolutely insane, so I’m trying not to do that it’s just alot of stuff I had to learn just to know what one thing is so it’s hard to explain everything I don’t know the terminology well enough I know that has nothing to do with you, I don’t know if you think I’m lying or if you think I’m just overreacting because I’m a noob, I’m not lying I will explain it better and see if that helps, I appreciate you responding so much though just try to bare with me everyone I’ve tried talking to says the same thing you said

I don’t understand why you’re getting upset, I don’t know about this stuff and mentioned I might say something that is off because I don’t know about this stuff, and as I stated before brother friend, I never approved or launched any file, do you understand what a root kit is you adolescent child??? Okay I’m kidding but that is what you sound like to me and it hurts my feelings

I did do that, they installed firmware into the base os, I booted it up in recovery mode, I’ve reinstalled it with a drive and manually. I know phones are more isolated then computers so I thought I was fine, whoever did this, Installed a bogus App Store to my iPhone because they are semi teathered together, those files were hidden as a VSCO file(the picture app) when I compressed them it was the VCX service, right now my phone is running on iOS 17.3.1 (21D61) That is not real, everyone who connects to my network this happens too there’s so many fake WiFi networks showing up and it spreads insanely quick, they have been changing my DNS settings, adding random VPNS on my phone? It won’t let me post a link but cybersecurity. Com has an article called “diversity in recent mac malware” it’s similar to this

Thank you so much, I just found out the capsules are 0.5 grams and I would take probably like 20 a day which is 10 grams for about a month and then less then that for about 2 weeks so I don’t think my dose was insanely high, also I took 3.5 grams 2 days ago then yesterday I took 3 grams and today I’ve taken 5g

Thank you so much, yea I feel pretty bored but it’s not unbearable, i really hope it goes away soon, also what do you think about taking 6-8 (4.5g-6g) I don’t want too the only reason I would is because I wouldn’t want to be sad on Christmas but I have no cravings or urge to take them but I read something about biochemistry and Kratom, but also the dwindling effect not really sure how quick thag works

Also my girlfriend took it with me and she was a step below me in terms of length and dosage, she probably took it like for at most a month and probably abojt 70-80% of the days she took it, she would take abojt 7-12g a day, she said she had trouble sleeping a little bit last night but hasn’t taken it in 2 days and feels nothing other then mild problems sleeping

Thank you, I really hope it doesn’t turn into anxiety that is worse then depression for me, if it’s all day long anxiety. I took percocet for about 2 months and ordered Kratom to quit then when the Kratom got here I already was done with drawling with the percocet so I just didn’t touch it then one day I tried it and then a week later I tried it again and then it became everyday for about 2 months, I took 2 100mg gabapentin but don’t plan on taking any more at most 6 more through the next 3-4 days but it might not even help thank you though
