Am I hacked again?

Long story short I hired a developer to build me a VoIP PBX server. He told me he needed my a Google email to send voicemail to email in a wav file. He had me authenticate some code for him in my Google Authenticator. He switched my modifier keys back to a non Mac keyboard. I also noticed something Chinese characters in my keyboard shortcuts which I disabled. This is odd because he isn't Chinese.


He's logged into my investing account and changed a phone number. Tried to message me on Skype from weird user names. I've also gotten calls from weird numbers and one from Romania. I remember seeing something called fraudjs.io


Of course, I didn't reply or pickup at his fishing attempts. Since then I wiped out the OS and completely reinstalled everything and changed all my passwords. Even now I think he's trying to access my password manager because it'll freeze up even after I force quit, it won't close.


I still think he's got accesss to my computer because I see an abnormally high usage from something called kernel in Activity Monitor


I screenshot a suspicious looking 'remote' from my Activity Monitor. Please help, I just reinstalled everything. Should I reinstall everything again and change all my passwords? What should I do? Thank you in advance.


There's a software installed on my Mac I'm not familiar with called

Take this as a Learning Experience:

To put it short, sweet, and simple: Know to always backup prior to making any major changes, such as getting it services. That way, you will have something to restore your device from, should anything go wrong after getting it serviced, such as Security & Privacy issues. So, if you have a backup that you make prior to all of this, then restore from it.

Consider Modifying your Credentials:

  • Modify: your login credentials (Using Both a New eMail and a New Passwordfor each and all sites). With a new eMail address, your account would be associated to a new eMail address, thereby making it inaccessible, with the current eMail account known by others. So, most certainly consider modifying it, with a newly opened one.
  • Associate: a different method of payment to your account
  • Enable: Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID and for all other accounts that have such an applicable option
