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

I think there are shenanigans on the forums. Does anyone know what’s up with p”68” xx contacts iCloud.com servers? There are users on the Apple forum named “contacts” and also “P6x” and I also tried to reply to someone and it dropped to the bottom and didn’t work correctly

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

WOW, I've been dealing with this exact same issue for about 3 months now. Every single day has been an emotional rollercoaster and my life has been completely torn apart from this issue. I live in fear because I know that I am being watched and tracked through my devices, and the worst part is that no one believes me. I have had my iPad and iPhone13 disabled by RAT trojans. I got the new iPhone15 and within 10 minutes of leaving the store my device was under attack, little did I know, my bluetooth in my car and my AppleID were the problem....that was before I really started digging and doing my research. When I try to explain what is going on people look at me like I'm talking gibberish, I've been at the point where I have questioned my own sanity, but I've seen the changes happen on the screen!!! Ive contacted every agency out there. I can't even be identified for a credit report with my social security # HELP!!!!!

well my ojibwa either hacked or a developer is controlling it multiple issues for last 5 years nothings being done apple device i just bought few weeks back says it's being managed shows up in google search somebody keeps changing password on me support hangs up after i start telling them the issue 2 senior support guys hung up on me yesterday alone this been going on for 5 years and has shut down 5 iphones an ipad and now this new iphone already having issues all have warranty all new all bad insurance but been denied to use it every time not at all happy with support yesterday i asked for apple corporate phone number to register a complaint they gave me a bogus number .ibe talked with 168 techs 70 supervisors and spent over 700 hrs online with them trying to fix issue and 5 years later 6 new iphones and ipad all keep getting locked up and bank accounts hacked and here i still am 🙈

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.

Just wanted to say you’re not alone in this. It’s easy to get paranoid and start to question yourself. It’s good to have doubts. It shows you’re not crazy. But follow your intuition. Try and show grace and compassion to those whose responses are short or dismissive or sometimes downright cruel. It’s intentional. This type of stuff has happened before and now in the age of the internet it’s reached new levels. Get rid of your iPhone. I’m doing the same. I miss land lines and flip phones and dial up computer..

my emergency reset won't work says try again matter several times over last two weeks phone is shareing g info on its own i change settings go to bed wake up phone changes back all by itself it's cyber theft on the highiest level 5 iphones an ipad all quit working within 1/3 month us after purchase and apple senior support hangs up on me after i exsplain what's going on

There appears to be something wrong with your keyboard. The period key only seems to have worked once and there are no capitals at the beginning of sentences. This makes your post very hard to understand.

Hey all, ironically I had this discussion bookmarked for a few months and never read it until now. As I read through, I hear the commonalities as I’ve endured for 3 years.

I hear the desperation of a basic essential right to privacy we all deserve taken away. We expect a certain protection of a Large and prosperous manufacturer of a personal product marketed and sold to us to protect us when their products work against us. As hard as it maybe to struggle with the frustrations of not being able to be rectified and the many challenges it has created for us, some person in our lives has chosen to betray us in someway, somehow.

It is very frustrating to look at our families and friends who know us better than anyone else and have them question our sanity when we share about the difficulties we’ve been facing and continue to do so daily. I’m guessing that most of you, just like myself, get triggered fairly easily by anything having to do with this topic and seeing it once again and feel so defeated and frustrated.

This thread that AgentDragonfly has started has added a great amount of validity to each of you, and myself.

I believe the support for others battling this issue can be of great help for people before their lives they’ve worked so hard to build, has been torn apart.

I certainly don’t have all the answers, but we all might have the opportunity or insight to remember the feelings of when it started for us, and where we are now in the journey of this season of confusion and uncertainty. We understand so much more than we did when it started. We may not understand how to fix it yet, but we can at least understand how it has made us feel so helpless.

I just wanted to share this with you as I realize how valuable this thread and other methods might be for the person that just had a device added unknowingly. They will more than likely be running and seeking answers immediately like we all have to only be rejected and referred to as having a mental health condition.

I apologize for my lengthy reply, but I couldn’t help it. Thank you for reading if you did.

Same here!!! To all of the above. I have been dealing with this since Oct 2022- that I know of!! I’m sure I am targeted as well. Every topic I have raised awareness to was shut down and I was told impossible, even though I can now find proof and articles of things I’ve been saying for years!! We need to get together. My last post got removed so i deleted a lot of it.

I have found several federal laws and cases that will support that not only are our our constitutional rights and privacy laws being violated but also intellectual property protections and trademark. I can go on but let’s see if this posts lol

I, too, have been dealing with this since 2022- that I know of!! SAME THING as everyone else. One thing I haven’t seen mentioned yet (haven’t been through all posts yet) was Virtual Ethernet Connection. Also when I did a whatsmyip search, I was told I was Enterprise Hosting. Someone tried to tell me it’s bc Apple is the enterprise 🙄. Also, a lot of it doesn’t necessarily go to MDM, I’ve found more to point me towards a Educational/School Managed Device, def some with Microsoft excel, edge, I could go on for days when it comes to PC. I’m sure there are many more but here’s a few I hadn’t seen mentioned.

Oh! There’s something with SOS mode. I’ve been locked out devices and they were stuck on SOS mode- when they still at cellular service.

It’s awful. I could write a book with all of the negative consequences to this but the biggest for me going through something so devastating and not having the support of loved ones. Bc if they don’t understand it, it can’t be real. Especially bc they consider themselves to be so much better. Their ego gets in the way. Makes you feel very isolated and alone Wish this would allow me to post my personal info bc I would love to talk to you all outside of the community. Compare notes and offer support.

Oh and “Siri”, who I’ve never set up or used once is always using “Home App” to make requests. Never used home app either.

And all of my support emails are being intercepted by “Zendesk.” I have done my research & it is def a large company but surely almost every company I contact is using them to handle their support tickets. Sometimes I’ll have two email threads going one from the actual company and one through Zendesk.

Not only my support tickets being intercepted, but I believe most of my promotional emails are all phishing attempts. I just got a new email address and paid close attention to the sending address and iCloud has had 3 different addresses, going from @icloud to iCloud@email.apple.com

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.

Has anyone noticed anything about their cellular baseband aka “modem firmware?” In my general>about settings, says I’m on running on 2.60.02 but I’m seeing that iPhone 4 & 5 were running higher like 5.0.0 and up. I have iPhone 14 & it’s updated to 17.5. Help?! Perhaps outdated firmware is how they’re getting around security updates.

Sounds like you definitely need an emergency reset as the Apple ID is likely compromised.
