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

Even if you have financial loses, they won’t help. And I can see a lot of things going on.

The emergency reset will remove the MDM? It’s likely the only thing I’ve not tried!

Correction, report to IC3.gov not org! You likely can’t report on your devices, wii have to go to a public PC.

Check out “hidden apps” I didn’t know you could hide them! I’ve also seen GitHub and Python (likely the hacked version). Many purchased and “free”‘apps were downloaded. And there is one that provides SSH and other programming capabilities (it’s not the dictionary). I was surprised seeing SSH under Apple Shortcuts used to hack my network using port 22. The network is disconnected, so now (or before?) I have a somewhat hidden managed hotspot with no ability to remove it. I can’t use it, it connects to me. I have a Wi-Fi detector, it’s going off as we speak. It connects via Wi-Fi then connects to multiple devices using Bluetooth. And even if you think you have cut Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, it’s still running. Also, look under shortcuts (don’t run anything as they often reference more dangerous things but the source code is on the web). But previously used scripts, such as SSH will show, I’ll include the pic if the computer God or Devil will permit. There is also a scanning list that shows up sometimes. If I can locate it I’ll post as well. The MDM can compromise just about anything, I tried Android as well.

Dragonfly, I keep getting a pop up to reply to you, but then I see no questions or comments?

I’ve been experiencing exactly the same problems and haven’t been able to make any progress. Have you had any luck?

I am having precisely the same issue. This has been close to two years, 12 phones (3 iPhones) and countless hijacked accounts later….

Me too!!

Did you end up fixing this situation?

ive been goi g through this for about 5years now. And nobody to help me. I’ve lost everything through this

You might want to run a System-diagnostic check on your device. If you google “how to do sys-diagnostic test on iPhone with touch assis.” It catches “leaks” on some of the processes running and you’ll see it’s easy to do and well worth what you’ll find running on your device. This can help you decide what kind of services you’ll want to look for. You could be right that part of the security intrusion has to do with your location. This diagnostic check revealed an unbelievable amount of security breaches and surveillance activity. A stingray device collecting and filtering all my communications. I would be interested to see what others find hidden in their devices and networks with this check.

I tried that already and it did not work for me. Like other people have mentioned, any new device I get it gets infected immediately too.

I would imagine if you went to the apple beta website and tried to sign in, you would find you have an account... check all of your id's. If you have a family of devices, check all of the id's. Experiencing the same problems and have been trying to get Apples help but they just keep resetting. I have been seeing DTD plists for over two years, plists to processing like sharing and safari that I have zero control over. I removed my ID from the beta site and miraculously, the next day, was logged back in. It resets itself so check and check again. If you delete your Apple ID, it may revive itself as well so take note of the code apple provides for deleting your account so when it does revive, you can call.

Same thing is happening to me. While I was in the hospital, a mini 2 was stolen. I kept old ones for fear of data compromise, now, everything is compromised. Tried reformatting, buying new, paid professions, Apple support. Just deleted account with special permissions, but before I received notification (email likely deleted), 2 devices rebooted and had been reformatted. Apple Configurator (MDM) showed up in purchases (although it’s free) tried to delete, no luck.

Once this is on one device, it spreads to everything, Windows, Android, and it can control other devices, like IoT. Many devices destroyed.

I downloaded it on one device, tried to execute, and it said @administrator permission is required”. When I touched the icon, it had an option to hide the application. Several other apps were purchased and hidden. Apple has a page where you can see these apps, but only a few months back.

but I’ve tried everything to show app icons on desktop (I found about 6 ways), nothing works. The NDM is supposed to be “vetted” by Apple, with a fully qualified domain name. But I found a site that will provide this for scammers. Family sharing is enabled to allow it to spread. Location services is always turned on, after my home alarm was compromised, they entered my home and left 15 minutes before I returned per alarm log. Apple developed it, so contacting developer does not help.

This has enabled fraud, theft, identity theft, stalking, lost accounts, lost $20k+ in damaged equipment (old and new). The MDM creates a “geofence” which is the area around your home, when a new device is discovered, it adds the MDM. I can’t see Apple files, but on Windows, it shows over 1,000 files! If you have a Windows device that still works, go to file explorer, search on *mdm*.*, and for root, search on %mdm%. It transfers data on a regular basis, I think using telemetry. Also, look under windows update schedules, you will see the transmission data there.

I would think the first install has to get physical access, but I’m not certain. But after the first one, it’s all over. They have complete control. Other devices impacted included my Roku, router, and home Alarm system. Any IoT device could be impacted as many have no security, it trusts anything inside the network.

All attempts to get help have been blocked, email, online forms blocked, phones compromised using “assessibilty” options which permits using your phone number for password resets!

Also, look at shortcuts, I had 87 in mine, plus in the same area, recorded chats, web sites and more. Don’t attempt to execute any. I hope Apple fixes this major flaw, look in App Store for Apple Configurator, it clearly states this app is vetted before allowing installation! If you find anything, like how to unhide device, or delete, let me know. But it’s designed not to allow an uninstall. When I changed my account name, and reformatted everything, back to factory, it was gone for a few hours, but quickly returned, even with network unplugged.

My guess would be it’s someone you know. It’s fairly easy to copy a phone or iPad within minutes. The first device is reformatted to “transfer to new owner”, then placed beside your device. Once you do that, it all ask if you want to transfer data to the “new device”. If they know the PIN, they enter that number and it only takes minutes. If you have saved passwords, they are in clear text.

Good luck! Check out your purchase history. I understand Apple keeps data for 3 years, and it includes the actual IP. A subpoena is needed to get that data. Once you identify the hacker, you could get a restraining order. But they are expensive. I found a DIY subpoena, but I don’t feel confident with my disabilities standing before a judge. And another warning, it has “beacons” that advertise your address and back door. Now it appears other hackers are getting in. Even with network unplugged. This part I don’t understand (on other devices), uss they use cell phone data or are parked at driveway.

Question, can you see JavaScript and Xcode on a Mac? The MDM spread to Windows with the fraudulent remote access apps, I could see that, but permissions are changed always, MDM on, parental controls on. Another question, I unplugged my router 8 weeks ago, but they are still accessing devices, I’ve seen ppl parked at end of driveway a couple of times when several devices were active but not every time. I’ve seen a lot of data transfers on Roku )not to movie or Roku). I did a scan for active BT, one Roku showed up (I’ve seen many users on there as well), and data transfers from the former Alarm. Idk if Roku is connecting to neighbor? Lots of settings and downloads are put in iCloud with synch to all, but a user can’t do that, unless it’s a MAC option. I’ve had tons of scripts, not always visible on iPad (unless under shortcuts), but visible on a Windows PC (although 7 PCs are compromised). I know the MDM will have to be blocked before entering my house!

Have you checked on apple beta to see if your user name is there? I have to keep unenrolling mine. There are no other signs that I am in the beta program . Apparently, if you are enrolled, the " developers" have permission to do whatever they want with your devices. Also check your cell service beta programs as well as any other accounts... for instance my sons Xbox has beta rights. To confirm, we didn't authorize it nor can we find emails acknowledging it but it is worth looking into.
