I have detected that all my devices are being controlled by a third party

Is this all normal? I have a 2017 Macbook Air with no other drives or devices attached and recently I have detected that all my devices are being controlled by a third party.


First I thought they could've gotten in through Google, than that he had added my devices to an API Cloud Platform through Google, now I'm also thinking it can actually have been done through Safari Developing Platform.


Guys at the store look at me as if I'm crazy.


I had never synced my phone to the cloud and about 2 years ago magically it happened (I have an iPhone XS 512gb), than I spent about 300gb of data in FOUR DAYS, my battery was already changed twice in two years and all my devices are constantly overheating and running full capacity.


I see all sorts of different unwanted and absolutely weird programs running on my Activity Monitor and somehow this man always gets back in. I'm wondering why there are 17 disks and why there are all of these tiny partitions. I can't unmount the "OS X Base System" volume (under the disk) in Disk Utility which sort of would make sense except there's an eject arrow right there. He is a narcissist so although I thought it would be the case that he would never leave I'm not surprised, but he had been dormant for so many years that I thought I was "out" just to realize he had always been there for, I would suspect, something like 11 or 12 years or probably since the day we met tbh.


Like I said, it doesn't surprise me his attitude but Apple's gaslighting and the fact that people look suspicious of you (as if this was something anyone would wish... to "play crazy"). And the worst is asking Apple what app or software or even professional services they recommend and they say... nothing because "it's impossible"... yet, here we are.


I already have more proof than I would ever want to have found but enough to stop listening to the unstopable gaslighting (it won't be too long until EVERYONE will have become victims of spyware - if they're not already and just haven't realized, like it happened to me for so many years).


Hope someone can offer some terminal commands, software, efficient antivirus or suggestions on highly rated IT professionals in the Brisbane area (while I sit in AFP's and ACSC's queue for forensic investigation).


My startupitems kext list is something from another planet, honestly... Apple, can you give your feedback and solution for this problem that have been clearly happening for over 10 years?


One thing is to get viruses that start uncountable pop ups, the other one is having someone watching and listening to you, controlling what you see on your screen and even where you go and who you can and can't keep in your life... it's simply too much of a Matrix complex that these developers/IT professionals/Narcs are trying to play... growing up is not for everyone I guess.


This is a copy of Daniel's log... mine actually goes up to disk21.. some might say it's 'DD' or 'thatthat' but the system gets slower by the minute and the amount of untriggered running processes when the machine is back on is absurd. /dev/disk0 (internal): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme 500.3 GB disk0 1: EFI EFI 314.6 MB disk0s1 2: APPLE_HFS U 500.0 GB disk0s2 /dev/disk1 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme +2.1 GB disk1 1: Apple_HFS OS X Base System 2.0 GB disk1s1 /dev/disk2 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +5.2 MB disk2 /dev/disk3 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +524.3 KB disk3 /dev/disk4 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +524.3 KB disk4 /dev/disk5 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +524.3 KB disk5 /dev/disk6 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +524.3 KB disk6 /dev/disk7 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +524.3 KB disk7 /dev/disk8 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +6.3 MB disk8 /dev/disk9 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +2.1 MB disk9 /dev/disk10 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +1.0 MB disk10 /dev/disk11 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +2.1 MB disk11 /dev/disk12 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +524.3 KB disk12 /dev/disk13 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +524.3 KB disk13 /dev/disk14 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +1.0 MB disk14 /dev/disk15 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +6.3 MB disk15 /dev/disk16 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +524.3 KB disk16

  1. Start here - If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support once you are sure you have control of your Apple ID create a new password that no one could guess.
  2. Erase all of your devices and set them up with the new Apple ID. If you think it would be safer, erase first then create the new Apple ID.

I will not comment on anything that is not device related. For any other topic you must report it to the authorities.
