How can I identify an unrecognized Trust Store version?

I have a trust store version # I cannot identify. I haven’t been able to verify 2024013100 via the trust store certifications page for iOS 17. Can anyone help me identify it?

I just discovered that I have the same version. And I also just discovered that my husband has put a MDM on my phone without me knowing!

I too have this cert. So nobody has an explanation of where it came from and the legitimacy of the cert?


I can tell you I’m 100% hacked rn. Saw my mic running in top left corner and my cam light randomly comes on. Also yesterday the hacker jammed up my “find” app toggle by graying it out. I had no choice but to restore factory settings and use an old backup. I’m pretty sure he did it via LTE which is scary. My 2 PC’s also are hacked.


I literally have tried everything and the antivirus and malware apps are worthless for these exploits. The guy is very good, super relentless, dedicated, calculating, fast, and I’d wager to say the FBI is already looking for him. I’ve spent tons of hours trying to figure it out. Pretty sure system32 folder is where it’s at in my PC’s.

I slso stumbled across a bunch of codes that tell me things about my phone that I never knew. This guy had my unanswered calls forwarded to a Miami (305) number and when I called it’s a voicemail. I was able to change his unprotected vm password to a 4 digit pass yesterday and no messages were left.


I’ve switched out my xfinity xfi router and have reset my network 5 times in 4 days to no avail. I went out and procured the top rated antivirus and malware apps) mostly trials and not one of them found my problems.

I took my phone offsite last night and restored. After he restricted my control over the find my app and another app Game Center uses I lost hope until I remembered about the DFU mode. I could restore bf that as iTunes and iCloud would say turn on the find my app and try resetting again.

So, after all this the dude is back. If you want to check out the codes to dial, search on web “2024 best iPhone codes” and it should intrigue you.


So I think he’s using a server, socket, c and remote (not MS remote) in my PC’s. I’ve gone into services on win 10 and zapped a bunch of running services and got his attention bc he would shut me down of the settings, firewall, start button, and anything else. He made my admin status look like a joke on my own PC’s. I’ve been recording hrs and hrs of footage on my PC’s and naturally he messed up a couple times. I bet both my arms Im in a spot where nothing can help me at this juncture until the mouse gets the cat. That’s my .02. It’s obvious he like lawnmower man and sitting pretty in side my network somewhere


TL;DR - I’ve been hacked and believe there’s nothing yet that can combat these exploits and it’s so frustrating!!!

While what you’re saying is true - Apple can really only provide basic and limited answers of what SHOULD be there, but finding something that SHOULDN’T be there - or restoring privacy - is likely something you’d have to discuss with an actual expert. And acknowledging the limitations of the service provided here online is very helpful! 


But to say “No one here can help you” and not offer any legitimate or helpful alternatives (other than filling out the complaint form for Apple) and then copy-pasting the original paragraph or just restating yourself to different people on the same thread is a waste of time (yours and everyone who has to read your copypasta) after you’ve posted a reply once to a thread. After that you’re really just polluting the comments so the actual answer will likely be harder to find until it gets marked. 


—“No malware and no hacker would be 🤡 enough to intentionally change the trust store version number, and if any malware has write access to iOS (which would inherently be involved in adding or removing trust store contents), there are better targets for modifications. If it were not a legitimate change, that difference would be a 🚩.” —

You’re giving some of these hackers WAY too much credit IMO. There will always be someone dumb/unaware enough to expose themselves doing illegal things (and it’s great that they’re so detectable! So many problems avoided. Unfortunately, most of the experienced ones wouldn’t be this blatant haha)


To clarify, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the information you’ve offered, and I’m not trying to argue or be disrespectful. It’s the simple fact that I had to read the same thing - almost word for word - 3x. Unhelpful.

Same here did everything you did except taking break from partner. I got 2 weeks peace when i bought this phone and told no one i had it. However i had to give the number out and a few days later there it was that same fake trust store version number from my old phone.

its someone close to you it always is! In every story i read it comes down to personal. Its personal to destroy a persons peace of mind, its personal to make a person sound crazy. Im sure i know who is doing it to me and this person is very close. I didnt want to believe it but 4 years of digging and accumulating records of everything i cant deny it any longer.

good luck and you are not alone and not crazy!

You have a point here Lawrence. What you’re saying does make sense. A “true hacker” wouldn’t leave any footprints. Unfortunately in situations like the ones shared and described in this thread, I believe that they’re, sorry we’re not dealing with the “average hacker”. I know in my situation that I am dealing with right now, going through the same experiences as the ones described above, the person(s) doing all this to me wouldn’t be necessarily be called a hacker, more so very unhappy individuals who have too much time on their hands and just get off to watching people go through it. Some of the people that I’ve come in contact with that do stuff like this just do it because they’re bored, or they’re just a vengeful person and want to watch their target just go crazy, bonkers, cuckoo running around in circles. There are some sick people out there, Lawrence. And I’m not saying that every single person that is going through the issues discussed in this thread they’re all dealing with what I just explained, but from some of the stories that I read in this thread I guarantee that some of them are. Please pardon us from the frustrations you have, having to respond with the same answer every time you see this type of issue pop up around here. I think I can speak for all of us with this same issue when I say, we are just as frustrated as you are with all of this. We are just trying to figure out how to get our privacy back. We are not crazy. I know for myself, I came here looking for an answer because this is where Apple, the company that manufactures the iPhone that all this craziness is happening on, this is where I am supposed to be able to find help with issues with/on/in my iPhone. Unlike the individuals who have nothing but all the time in world to learn about all of whatever they have been doing with my phone, in my phone, on my phone, I have a job and just started my business and really the only time I have to figure this out is now as I write this reply… sorry for the long reply, but yeah, I believe that some us aren’t necessarily dealing with hackers, more so people with not so good intentions towards some of us..

I just want to clear things up: this is the correct and latest trust store version although the main Apple websites yet to be updated. I am sure of this as I work with a large corporate and we validated with Apple directly on this point for audit.


For those involved with hacking attempts the first thing to do is to DFU mode reset compromised Apple assets and then restore (not from backups). Reset your home router if isp provided holding the pin reset for 120 seconds which triggers firmware refresh on most cable ISP provided modems and routers, else ensure latest firmware from the manufacturer. Note this will erase devices.


Setup any smart devices and potential devices that are easily compromised (non branded bulbs etc) onto the guest WiFi network which can be setup on most routers. This moves them away from the main network and reduces attack surface.


Run more advanced scanners on windows eg Norton power eraser, and kaspersky which are well known for identifying malware based on behavior.


Run imazing spyware scanner on iOS devices.


Setup a DNS Filter and add in threat intelligence feeds and malware checks via eg AdGuard DNS or NextDNS. This filters all traffic from onboarded devices.


Ensure MFA/two factor on all services including Apple services as possible.


Run Apple privacy checkup and other providers such as Google offer the same.


Login to security section of services eg Apple and Microsoft and logout unknown active sessions or all sessions if unsure. Note you may need to relogin.


Update firmware especially on windows devices (also known as the bios).


Ask your isp if they offer smart security or monitoring of your home network for malicious activity - a few do. One example in the UK: https://www.virginmedia.com/virgin-tv-edit/tips-and-tricks/smart-security


Change email passwords, remove active sessions, enable MFA.


Check Google, Apple, etc for “app passwords,” these provide login that bypasses normal passwords and MFA.


Check for MDM enrolment on all devices and if active (& unexpected) contact Apple or whoever supplied the device with purchase history to validate ownership and work with them on removal. Do the same with the MDM operator. They’ll usually remove as it’s a crime and falls under stalking.


Turn on device encryption whenever you can.


Best of luck.
