I have com.apple stuff all over my computers and phones. I asked apple when I was having issues with devices and they said never heard of it. I'm sure I've been hacked for a long time and I think it has something to do with it. There's a web kit , iCloud helper and many more all with com.apple in it.
what is it?

Where are these files you're concerned about located? Post a screenshot of what you're seeing. Most of the system and user preferences start with com.apple in the file name:
There are literally hundreds of such files associated with the system and users. It's unlikely you've been hacked with the current and recent Apple systems.

See this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8058051
use spotlight search of keychain access to search the item .
I've been trying to reply but it just sits and doesn't work when I hit the post button. I've tried with and w/out pics long reply's at first now just a short one to test. If it works I'll reply again later.
I see com.apple in keychain on my Mac
what concerns me is the airport access as I've never used it. Also I took pictures of screens on Mac that I thought were suspicious. Then later as I was going thru pics there was a group of pics blacked out , I called apple and we reloaded from backup and the blacked out pics were the pics of screens that I took within a day they were blacked out again. They were all in iCloud. Also apps on devices would change locations and new ones added. Just recently on new iphone a dozen apps were added and they are used constantly podcast, music, books, stocks to name a few. I will try to add some pics I took of mac keychain. I call it hacked but it's done by ex girlfriend's kid I used to live with I'm sure of when he moved in after college my computer problems started and they had access to all passwords on my stuff. There's way more to tell I just added a few oddities here. Thanks for responding I'm a carpenter not a computer person FYI.

How to take a screenshot on your Mac
(⌘⬆︎3) Command-Shift-3 Capture the screen to a file
(⌘⬆︎⌃3) Command-Shift-Control-3 Capture the screen to the Clipboard
(⌘⬆︎4) Command-Shift-4 Capture a selection to a file
(⌘⬆︎⌃4) Command-Shift-Control-4 Capture a selection to the Clipboard
(⌘⬆︎5) Command-Shift-5 Invoke new screen grabber
Ignore what you see in the Keychain Access app. There are a lot of standard items in there that came with the system and Mac.
I can't add the pic with this but will try separately It's a pic I took and after looking at it later I seen the image. I've never had one. In my cloud it says I have iOS 8 Mac OS Yosemite and watch os 1 on my devices I've never heard of Yosemite before and have never had a watch so I'm not sure why it says that
I've run into that and here's what I do: copy everything I'm trying to add, reload the page, paste back in and post. That usually works for me.
I don’t see anything particularly relevant here, nor anything particularly wrong.
com.apple references stuff related to Apple; to apple.com. Yes, this notation is reversed from what you’re familiar with, but then what you are familiar with works from the (usually defaulted) trailing dot to the com or org or net or any of the thousands of other top-level domains, to Apple or some other registrant within the top-level domain, to the rest of the string that you’re familiar with.
DNS works on a host name string from right to left, which is what’s shown here from left to right.
A whole lot of the internals of Apple and other software uses this left-to-right notation too, and not the right-to-left host naming and product naming that you’re familiar with.
What you’re showing here are certificates associated with Apple network connections and network activity.
Enable two-factor authentication on your Apple ID and other critical accounts, change all passwords, change your decide passcode, change passwords to the password-reset paths including to the recovery mail servers and to your security questions, confirm the list of recovery telephone numbers on your Apple ID, and otherwise work to harden your own access. Reset and reload your firewall. Identify what’s connected to your local network. Change your Wi-Fi password to something ~15 characters and unique. Change all your passwords to unique values. Confirm your DNS translations go to a server you trust.
These certificates? They’re very unlikely to be a path to any shenanigans, and they’re centrally intended to verify connections among Apple apps. Even if your nemesis is somehow controlling your network such that they can run TLS-level interceptions with bogus certificates and have the appropriate bogus certificates in your,Mac (not these certs, BTW), and can somehow get around certificate pinning flagging the mess, you’re still going to want to have two-factor and u ique passwords and the rest.
Here’s a decent high-level overview of DNS: https://www.roguelynn.com/words/explain-like-im-5-dns/
