Quicksilver email responses? Hacked macOS?

I keep getting automated email responses like “quicksilver@domain.com” does this mean I am just talking to myself? It’s from government and other websites so I wanted to check. I’m pretty sure my Mac has been remote code or programming off an older Mac for quite some time. I wish I could have someone examine this to be sure. I also can’t seem to submit this to the FBI website or CIA, as I no longer receive a confirmation email from those websites.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

If you feel an unauthorized person/app is remotely using, controlling or monitoring your device, then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...


  1. Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
  2. Don't share Apple IDs
  3. Don't Jailbreak
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
  5. Don't give in to Phishing
  6. Don't plug in your device in Airports and Public places through third-party cables and trust the device. Beware of Juice Jacking. (Especially in India)
  7. Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls, etc.


If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.
