Hello, I was seeing the same thing on my back up file details. So it turns out that it’s related to when you add a Bookmark unto your Home Screen so it appears as an App. I had one bookmark just like that and I deleted the bookmark from my Home Screen and that file disappeared immediately. So it’s connected to that. Now it doesn’t appear on my backup details anymore.

A Web Bundle is a file format for encapsulating one or more HTTP resources in a single file. It can include one or more HTML files, JavaScript files, images, or stylesheets. Web Bundles, more formally known as Bundled HTTP Exchanges, are part of the Web Packaging proposal. (from: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/web-bundles/)


So, when you add a “bookmark” (progressive web application) to the home screen, your device will immediately create a unique identity and add some data to register it. With this, you can open a webpage like a separate app even a native app downloaded from App Store, and your phone will backup the data like cookies (might be not for security reasons), localStorage, indexDB to your iCloud storage—same as other apps on your device. Additionally, at present, Safari is improving the supports for progressive web application standards, so overtime, it might display name and icons on your screen, and you can recognize it in a human-readable way.

I got the same thing. I don't know if it's normal or not because as you said, it can't be found online. My particular issue is being stalked by a developer who I think is interested in my 11 and 12 year old daughter. They constantly are getting system diagnostics pulls and remote camera usage. All my accounts were hacked and they uploaded 500 GB my data so now I just keep re-search on the cloud. These guys are pretty sloppy and if you know what you're looking for and you can start saving your own data and maybe one day they'll be a class action lawsuit. Plus, I always upset them when I block them with my firewall which I can easily do. I just prefer to have somewhat of a regular online life dealing with these issues. Be careful when you get updates don't install them automatically. Do not download updates automatically you're asking for enrollment. Download a simple app like net Analyzer. Use a VPN in turn off private relay. Do not use Apple private relay no way you got to be crazy to use apple private relay. Always check your profile and certificate settings. You'll get root CRL pushes, and you won't even notice it and they will install remotely while you're sleeping. Usually you'll notice it and analytics. Usually people that are thrown into enterprise PKI management a.k.a. someone thinks you're a criminal or a.k.a. someone is a creep O stalking your children, I've been dealing with a terrorist from Apple for a year and a half an hour in these ding. Bats aren't smart enough to help me so I had to do it myself. Oh, also use screen time to block camera access and you'll be shocked at how many times of the day your camera is being accessed. It's pretty scary. I get about three hours of Settings access remotely while I'm sleeping and they alter my accessibility settings to get into my device. I've even caught them while I'm using it. Disgusting nasty people. I'm surprised if this post Stephen stays up because my poster being monitored here and I only posted two or three things in my entire life. Creepy people.

Are use lockdown mode multiple firewalls, and I can't even cancel one of my Apple IDs because they're using my Apple developer account to post apps. I tried to delete my main Apple ID and I can't delete it because I've got apps published on the App Store. I've never published anything. I just paid $106 so I can see the tools and have access to the tools that these creeps use. They're not all creeps of course but most of them it seems are pretty creepy. Try to log into Apple enterprise iCloud portal. If it lets you you're screwed best to call the police and hire a lawyer for cease-and-desist. If you care that much. Depends on what you got online.

Also, go back to advanced settings and turn off all of them. Read them slowly you don't want any of them all and don't listen to the guy that told you to turn them on. Read them you're basically giving an easy avenue of access. I think a lot of these people are using VMware which I'm familiar with because it's sold by the same company of my firewall. I can block that too but you can't really get away from these creepers once you get into this program. I'm sure everybody here is being monitored 100% or at least those that have seen this crap.

Good information! & gave me triggers that’s needed . I knew this IT guy that worked for IXX .. so when he offered to fix my computer back in the day , sure …. Then he started talking about pictures I had in my pictures & I know I didn’t share them with him. They were of me & my then boyfriend, which still was none of his business. Pictures & music was his thing to steal but I wonder what else . I later found out the guy I dated is his new boyfriend.. I’m glad they are happy . 2 hackers together = what. Exactly. Thanks for the info
