Phones/Apps/Clones & Accounts -Prisoner Around about Xmas of 2022 I found a bug within my iPad that quickly spread to my phone. I had the feeling my settings kept changing. Shortly after I noticed someone accessed whole home network and was able to install custom (corrupt) OS on devices. We destroyed what we could, obtained new home network, yet my brand new devices continued to act strange. Here it is -3 months later, and what I’ve found has been stomach turning. This has in all practical sense, ruined my life as I once knew it. It caused me to lose my career position as a general manager. Thousands of dollars in ruined corrupt devices… and worst of all, still in the grasp of some nasty software. My analytics look something of a movie. It says I have iPhone 12 yet I’m using 11. Says I have people synced to me with watches… yet I don’t own watch. One device Id literally had her iwatch settings for potential dates of menstruel cycle & best dates to get pregnant. I’ve discovered, they have control of my iCloud. I even bought $200 nfc security keys (apples highest level of security) well they r pointless. I try changing password now, have to use one and the response I get is “No servers avail… or apples servers are busy try later”. I call apple and they refuse to address the issue (if I’m really even speaking with apple support). I try support texting which I still have on new device, and guess what my messaging is all shut down and blocked. At one point I found saved items on my SIM card but it’s since blocked me from viewing that again. Apple home says I cannot stop sharing yet it never tells me which home I’m part of. Any and all settings on my phone change DAILY. Face ID resets daily. Home Screen layout changes throughout day and I literally feel I have numerous CLONED COPIES of my Apple ID on my one phone (account pic changes, name changes, etc). Furthermore I’ve already changed Apple ID’s as I can usually use them for few weeks before I’m completely locked out and Iforgot.apple just adds days upon days that never end before I can actually access. I can’t use safari as I’m forced to broadcast my entire experience to all trackers and websites as well as share camera, location and microphone. Any time I try cutting a corner the virus literally punishes me by either locking the phone “try again in 1 hour etc.” or just plain makes it impossible to do anything. My calls all seem to reroute to offshores, despite trying the star pound codes. My apps have SCREEN LAYOVERS AND APP REDIRECTS. apples sites even have manipulated unsafe links involved. I did get word that my info was found on dark web and was part of a data breach… I’m thinking it stems from Verizon. if anyone can relate and has some type of resolve I would greatly appreciate it. Btw I have now started finding numerous fraudulent transactions on bank accounts and credit cards. I even thought for awhile (prior to chatting with local police) that maybe someone had a warrant issued to digitally track and spy on my most private moments in life. Put it this way, I’m now back to using wired ear buds, cd player in car and don’t laugh, my cd Walkman. Pencil and paper days are back in full force here. One person was dumb enough to make a mistake with a ransom email tho… all I can say, computers are a dangerous toy. I’m pleading any help would be awesome. Ty!
