MDM on personal iPhone - Businesses, unauthorized developer activity HELP!

I’m trying to follow you but I can’t press the follow button it’s erased out and I can’t like your post either.

I’m have been going through this for a year. Everything is hacked. I have nothing. My bank watched for a month and believes me. I got an iPad luckily but it immediately got hacked as soon as I set it up. I have had a lot of information. I am sick of being looked at like I’m a crazy person. I really like to get a hold of everybody that said this happened to . I know where to talk safely I know how to figure out a lot of things but I really like to talk to some other people this is ****. ****. ****. I can’t even type without being harassed. I’m going to look And see if I can find any of this group.

I have an iPad 10 completely up-to-date I have touch ID I haven’t bothered in ambling anything besides two factor but it always gets deleted anyways. A lot of good the iCloud email address does because they won’t give it back to me . Recovery days I never get an email to say I’ve proven it’s me it doesn’t take a genius I’ve had account for over over over 10 years but the hackers get to spend more time in my business than I do. The thing

I hate the most, stealing and copying my Stories and letters and blogs participation, rough drafts, short stories.

my contact list.

I have impeccable credentials or had, I don’t know what’s going on my social accounts I can’t even imagine.

I don’t know what kind of delusional world that some of these moderators live in but you only need to go listen to the Washington Post podcast the very same thing happened to a Washington Post journalist, it’s all documented . The fact what this is. yes, very sadly , because I love apple products but I can use them very well right now , they have done it isn’t even hacking. It’s outright theft.

I’m just now seeing this thread and have had the same horrific experience! I have not been through all of the posts yet before my urge to comment because you describe the mental stress this has caused. Going on two years now trying to figure this out on my own and in my own time has been a lonely journey for the simple fact that it’s “too much” for most people because if you mention why you always have an updated email address or why you did not get their message or email you get the crazy raised eyebrow look and seen as insane!

it can not be ignored because it effects your life every day! I have lost access to email accounts and social media profiles and accounts yet I see them show up and have no access to them at all! When I communicate to the source nothing is ever done.

Apple is always friendly and trys but after they learn the scope of the problem, I don’t hear back or I get disconnected.

i have developer privileges I should not and did not know until things began really messing up and strange email accounts and media profiles were created using my identity. Apple ID has been stolen or I get locked out and have had no choice but to wipe device and reset. With 4 iPhones now and a MacBook Air M1.

I could go on and on about all of the things I have found out but no one would listen.

I have recently discovered too the nfc technology and how it can transfer data between devices without needing power or to authorize connection like Bluetooth. It runs on minimal charge and low latency. Can’t transfer large amounts of data at a time but if you set up a automation triggered to pull at certain times throughout the day it can pretty much act as a monitor of your data flow building a entire investigation of your every move.

creepy?? **** yeah and I’m still stuck and without control over my own privacy and I can’t communicate normally because of it. It has really taken over my world and it is disgusting!

I don’t understand why it is happening to me personally either. I want to know if anyone with same experience has found more of us struggling with this and if there is a forum.

I can post some screenshots as well

Hey “Kate from space”! (since this thread doesn’t seem to connect) I shouldn’t comment much but yes. I think these are variables that could be useful to this problem that people are having. Especially given the IOT components at home and given corporate governance being weakened by WFH networks. I’ve been concerned about my own privacy issues lately not from my small business given the current problems, let’s just say. Possibly a lot of cross play here.

Me too! All of the above. And they use Xcode & DT tools to make “user” & bundle versions of my apps to manipulate the settings that I can change. Use a lot of open source software. I believe that somehow they’re using my biometrics because sometimes my face scans only when I open up settings altogether. Which I’m sure they’re using somewhere else. Whenever I use screen time settings for and need more time, it always asked me twice. Like there is two screens. I find that it’s being mirrored to a PC and doing all kinds of things and has known about this since, November September 2022 and can’t get any help. Scary. The police said I called out over 10 times because they were coming. My home also only advised me to make a IC3 complaint. Which I made one back in 2022 and took screenshots of it. It made another in 2023 and that pages are different. Every site I visit is different than it should be, be acceptable. We spend on these devices and for their service just for people to steal them and have more access than we do.

also, if you have T-Mobile and it says in cellular settings that your plan is whitelist and regular usage. That means it’s only tallying and adding up the usage that is not streaming. So that is an in accurate amount of data it shows used. I went from 182 GB which I never used anywhere close the month before it turned to white and regular and then it went back to normal around 50.

Also, whenever I reach my screen time limit and I choose to remind me in 1, 15, or all day, I have to give the permission twice. Like I’m giving 2 screen’s permission.

My Reminders App is out of date apparently and not giving me the option upgrade it like apple support online suggests. Using the out of date apps means out of date security updates and features. I got the following error: The creator of this list has upgraded these reminders.Learn more here Upgrading the Reminders app in iOS 13 or later - Apple Support

Asking here bc it’s too early to get the call center & they representatives don’t know anymore than the same info I can look up on here. It looks outdated as well.

It’s not taking someone to court. You could get a restraining order (and request removal). The details would show who installed it.

All of that is pointless if you don't know who installed...whatever it is you think was installed.

I was also not aware Siri could do such things, I tried it myself with no results, but the search showed in history? And, Siri does provide web searches, since it was done, yes it can if you have the skill.

No, you can't.

what helpful info have you provided on how to remove the MDM?

Start here:

Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone - Apple Support

Or, do this:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

I thought you requested help, as others have.

I most certainly don't need the type of help you do.

Same same Same here. EXCEPT: I am NOT an employee yet constantly have indicators or error messages for my administrator! The suspect had been already into my devices to track and monitor me ( for 0 reason other than he was reflecting). 3 years. Right down to the printer. Police called me delusional but I’m not giving up.

my question is this.. what do you do when your Apple accounts been taken over and the device it’s linked to remotely reset to iTunes by itself overnight.

have I really lost all my pics of my babes growing up and personal information? The account is still active but I can’t get the 2FA. The login info has been changed about three times. Twice to emails and numbers I had never seen or used. Now when I try to recover it it back to the original login but can’t get the 2FA pin to change password. When I call support they can’t give me info as the account isn’t in my name?! 😢

Right now 2FA is the devil when phones been cloned or SIMSWAPED or hacked via your internet provider router, that had a reset secure password. Infected phone infected the router and the printer I’m thinking. Still no police will investigate my evidence , which is very incriminating for this horrible person who’s made me part of their business to stalk me after leaving the marriage. How do I get support through apple business when I’m technically not associated with a school or business account?? I’ve been trying everything but I do t know the domain name. And apple support sees me as a regular customer. Help!

Did you have any luck with the sheriffs department? I’m not always 100% correct, but trying to help others and get help. I’ve found a MANAGED Wi-Fi hotspot that resolves to Apple based on IP, it seems to be running most of the time, but in particular when I do anything. I don’t have (or should say I never purchased a hotspot! Since it’s managed, I can’t delete it! Several other things pop up and say “you can’t do this on a managed device”. I read on Apple that the the hotspot is an additional “feature of the MDM. Also, per MDM Apple documentation, some options and things I’ve experienced are hidden headers and footers on Web Sites and email (you can’t see the actual sender of the email). Apparently, the MDM uses “web clips” to filter and prevent seeing this data. Try going to a public computer, sign into your email, then “view source”. Mine was redirected to a created page that appears to use JavaScript. Many features were hidden, like deletes of password resets to Apple and other accounts. Lots of hidden apps are downloaded, remote access, now more, about 4, 2 banking apps, one screen recorder and print screen capture, one complete control of your network and everything on it, many more apps. I was in IT Security for a long time, I’ve never seen anything like this before.

I had someone install an MDM before while I was in the hospital, I found the vender name using a Windows device, it was removed right away. But not this time. The MDM link even includes a “HIDE” option. Since it includes a Wi-Fi hotspot, firewall rules are bypassed. AT&T had an attack a while back where employees were installing “hotspots” on victims. I’ll see if I can find that article, can’t put links on here, but can provide search terms.

based on what I’ve experienced and read, it’s likely someone you know, they only need your PIN and hands on for a few minutes. Once it’s on one device, it can remotely installed to almost everything, all computer types, certain TVs and much more. I’ve attached 3 pics. So what to do? The only thing I can think of is to get a new device and install a similar MDM before you bring it home. I’ve not tried this yet, so I’d try it with something new. It gets on Android as well, so that won’t help. Or, get a subpoena and see if you can get a restraining order. Be careful when asking for data to make sure you get all recent connections to your network, device name, serial number, user name and Apple ID. I really wish Apple would help. I’ve read the Sheriffs Dept can issue a subpoena, but that’s based on state. I’m not 100% certain if it has to come from an attorney? I’d really rather not have to hire an attorney. I have 2 missing Apple devices, I know who had them, but they also use a Mac to go into the iCloud and download and share apps. They also use Family Sharing and Bluetooth. They connect via hotspot, then can connect up to 8 devices using Bluetooth. They also use the clipboard to collect data (under shortcuts and using scripts, mostly JavaScripts but other as well. Even when Wi-Fi shows as off on the first page, it’s still on. Once data is collected, I’ve seen it texted or emailed (using my address!), also under shortcuts and scripts. Anything I’ve tried to cut off Bluetooth or Wi-Fi hotspot works for a little while, then turns back on again. I have a Wi-Fi detector, but just keep it off most of the time due to constant beeping indicating Wi-Fi! The battery runs down quickly, and the cell signal drops from 4 bars to 2 bars. At one point, there were 87 scripts on my phone. I don’t have data on here, no fascinating life, and it keeps escalating. IC3 (gov) is very interested in this topic. I’ve yet to report the suspect, hoping they will stop, but it just gets worse.

Another thing don’t back anything up go into iCloud settings shut it off exclude the mail gotta leave it on to get mail. NO WI-FI

wifi is the biggest enemy

I have the same thing, except a managed Wi-Fi hotspot that comes on every time I use the phone, or sometimes when I don’t. It appears to be syncing data. You can’t remove it.

Same here. Have you considered installing an MDM? I’ve lost all devices as well, even unplugged Wi-Fi. Then a managed Wi-Fi was installed and it uses Bluetooth to access other devices.
