Hacked by rootkit ring central

How can I detect and or remove root kits? Or hidden malware? I have been severely infected by some type of software no one seems to be able to detect it not Apple not FBI cyber crimes this has been going on for over five months this person keeps getting all my passwords getting into my MacBook even after hardware reset getting into my iPhone controlling my children’s iPads controlling my Wi-Fi turning it on and off compromising every new email I create I’ve changed iPhones I’ve change Sim cards nothing I do works now that the FBI is finally involved after four months they’ve been involved for one month now and still no answers Apple says it’s beyond their control and will not help anymore they had every account I have it hacked my Amazon Devices. The list goes on and on I’ve done for months worth of research I found a Linux SQL automated downloader on my MacBook after a hard reset an iOS reinstall, folders that show a live feed of Everything that I do off my iPhone directly into these folders on my MacBook. I found apps and order history numbers in my purchase history that Apple says they don’t even see I find devices connected to my network on my on my home ISP, I keep connecting no matter how many times I’ve change my password Verizon FiOS has changed my router three times nothing helps. They hack into my online applications for mostly every online account that I have. Hacked into my Apple iCloud I even switched to Samsung for a month thinking that that would help they hacked into my Samsung cloud as well. I’m told that it could be a route zero or Route one infection directly hitting the hardware on my devices through ring central I can’t find any one who can help me. They use a VPN through places like server mania and data packet who can confirm that the user has products to them but will not assist me any further anyone who can help me please I am begging for help. With this pandemic an online schooling being virtual it is a necessity for me to have Internet and all the Verizon tells me is to cancel them because no one can help me anymore. Reason to believe that they are close to my home and infecting my network I also have reasonable that there is some form of Chinese software affecting my devices “Shenzhen trenlonic?”

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Consider the Following:

  • [...]They have a shored me that these emails would remain closed and not be able to be open again however every single email address that I shut down where we opened back up again. [...]

Account Closure is Not Instantaneous:

IOW: Don’t Log in, or it will not close. You’d likely have to wait up to 90 days in order for it to successfully close the eMail account. So, it wouldn’t instantaneously close from then on out. You likely need to wait up to a few months, depending on the provider. Either ask the eMail provider, or view the Terms & Conditions to find out the timespan of no successful login.

  • [...]I was reading that whatever is attacking my devices is directly affecting the firmware I don’t know if there’s a way to remove this from my firmware of an iPhone or not or if this is something that is directly controlled by serial numbers or not[...]

Close Using Another Computer:

Close the eMail account using another computer. See if that works.

  • [...]oddly the police there’s nothing they can do to help me anymore because they scanned my devices and found nothing. I just bought a new device and HP laptop created a Microsoft account and that was already hacked into that fast

eMail the Account Every So Often:

Send yourself an eMail to that old eMail account, once closed. See if you get a “Delivery Error” of sorts when sending an eMail to that account. On a PC, using Security Software would wise, as vulnerable as they are.

So long as you keep approaching this from the standpoint of baseless paranoia, you're not going to solve your problem.


Change your passwords. Use 2 factor authentication wherever possible. Do not re-use passwords on different services.

If you really think your devices are "infected" or "hacked", wipe them and set them up from scratch.

Recent Account Activities:

Have you contacted your eMail Provider(s)? Contact them, asking them for support on your account(s). Log in, and see if there is a way to view your recent account activities. Things seen may include logins' dates and times, password changes, etc. Also, ask if there is a way to Sogn out, wherever you are signed into.


Set up your Device(s) Anew:

But, a full reset (erasing macOS Devices and iOS Devices, and then reinstalling the macOS or iOS anew), indeed seems the way to go.

Yes I’ve done that- They have a shored me that these emails would remain closed and not be able to be open again however every single email address that I shut down where we opened back up again.

I was reading that whatever is attacking my devices is directly affecting the firmware I don’t know if there’s a way to remove this from my firmware of an iPhone or not or if this is something that is directly controlled by serial numbers or not oddly the police told me that there’s nothing they can do to help me anymore because they scanned my devices and found nothing. I just bought a new device and HP laptop created a Microsoft account and that was already hacked into that fast

Secure Yourself:

There is no virus on your Mac - nor will there ever be. But having collected all of your information - modify your credentials, and scan your Mac for Malware.

I recommend the following:

A. Modify Your Credentials:


B. Keep this Confidential:

Don't share this information with anyone whomsoever. Perhaps opening and using a new eMail Address - and closing your current eMail Address - is the way to go about all of this. Keep your Apple Account, just use the new eMail Address.


C. Security Software:

As for security software, get and use only Malwarebytes for Mac. This is software that searches for malware/adware, with may be making this not install. So, scan with it every now and then, and remove what is found from the quarantine. Once removed, restart the Mac. It is created by longtime users of these forums. So, that is why it is the only way to go about securing your Mac, when it comes through use of software.

Downloads:

  1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
  2. Malwarebytes uninstaller

I’ve done all of the above, over and over Apple even uninstalled and reinstalled software on my devices. Shut down all old emails they were able to recover them, Norton cannot detect Any virus, I lost all data due to a fresh install and still I found the Linux pkg installer back on my Mac, Apple verified fake certificates of authenticity ect. Now every time I do any web search I get a Google service ad safari network error.
