This MacBook Pro may have configuration profiles installed.

Hi there, can someone take a look at this for me. I know I am being hacked and I know that it seems like what I print is also sent to some cloud storage by the hacker it seems. Also, my phone seems tethered to the MacBook and seems to also upload huge chunks of data - I can only assume it is sending whatever I do on my phone through my MacBook to a third party cloud storage where this individual I know who has been hacking me for 6 months accesses everything I do.


Please just take a look. I really do not know how to stop this constant day in day out invasion of my privacy. It is ruining my entire life.

You are using a VPN. <ProtonVPN OpenVPN>

A true VPN tunnel, for example between you and your job, or a Bank server would be of value, otherwise might be time to re-think the usage.


see: Public VPN's are anything but private

It is often recommended—Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN

Not sure what etrecheck is querying for here " Configuration profiles "


this seems benign:


Some network printers may require you to install a configuration profile so that the printer can be discovered on your network using AirPrint.


If you are provided a profile to install, download or copy the printer profile to your Mac and then install it. On your Mac, double-click the profile to open it.

Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac
