Why would an iphone 4s's UDID and Wi-Fi MAC ADDRESS CHANGE?

Are these numbers embedded in the hardware of my iphone or can these numbers be changed

Via software or app? My phone has been having problems for a few weeks now... Calender events

Erased, photos deleted from both Icloud and 3rd party apps installed on my iphone, random spikes in data

use on certain days. (As of 10/17 3:30p, 1.3gb of 2gb already used w/2 wks left) My ave. is about 1.5gb/mo.

I have "Fing" & "Inet pro" network scanning apps installed and both are consistent in my MAC address and

UDID Numbers different than in previous scans from a month prior.


I have a problem with someone stalking me via hacking into our home nw. & possibly cell phone. This stalking has been

going on for several yrs now. But No proof no arrest. This person

has extensive knowledge in computers and electronics, w/ advanced-user skills in anything electronic.

I have reason to believe that my iphone might be hacked or even replaced with another Iphone device after discovery

of MAC/UDID changes. Also, scan reports list my Iphone as "vendor unknown", when in all previous scans "Apple" was

identified. This person has gained access to my home & personal property in the past so access to my Iphone is a possibility.


* previous MAC address= BC:52:B7:6A:2C:DE

Current MAC address=02:00:00:00:00:00.



HELP!!!! Any feedback, info, or Advice would be greatly aporeciated. Trying to

Put a stop to this w/ little help from law enforcement.

Beginning with iOS 7 no app has access to the true UDID nor MAC addresses. Only Apple had access to the true values now. Dynamically generated MAC and UDID's are created each time the device is wiped.
