Thunderbolt Bridge and Bluetooth Pan Hacked

Hello, back in September I was hacked and I noticed a Bluetooth Pan and Thunderbolt Bridge connected to my networks as well as a Samsung TV in my iCloud. I have since wiped my computer twice, the most recent was yesterday. When I set up my computer again I noticed my storage is practically all gone by Other Volumes In Container. I have been to the Genius Bar, I have been to apple support but no one knows about Thunderspy. Please someone help. I am sick of my computer being hacked.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Those are standard services in the Network System Preferences. Did they have a green dot?

Those are not services that connect into a Mac. Those are services that you connect your Mac to. For Bluetooth PAN, you would connect through a phone via Bluetooth. For Thunderbolt Bridge, you would connect via Thunderbolt cable to some modem. Did the hackers come into your house and connect a thunderbolt cable to your Mac?


What does "Samsung TV in my iCloud" mean. Airplay devices do not appear in iCloud, so I'm confused as to where you would see that. Can you explain what you mean.


The OS is divided into a Read-only OS volume and a Data volume. There are also Preboot, VM, and Recovery volumes, all in the same APFS Container.

When you select a Volume, it will also show you what storage is used by those other volumes that are in the same APFS container sharing the same storage space. If you select Macintosh HD (the OS volume) the Other Volumes in Container is predominately made up of your Data volume (Macintosh HD - Data).
