Hi there here’s a start but in particular what your seeing can you’ll have to reference my original post i.e. the reformatting of my hard drive mind you a brand new laptop now two of them but this is my Mac hard drive running on my iPhone ie. diskutil list and /dev/disk2 is a preboot volume and an security update I believe but it’s running my phone.

I have read everything you have posted. Multiple times.

But today I say farewell, I bought myself a windows, PC and an android phone.

Good luck.

I have to correct you .ssh or sshd is open to whatever port you want to point the service to. Yes default is 22 and secondly your remark referring to “that’s impossible” and stating ssh isn’t turned on by default is false and the verbage indicates you may not know what you’re speaking of? It is indeed “turned on” whenever the machine has a network connection. Can it be configured in a way that provides some security yes, but not when you first open the lid on a brand new device and with my experience now I’ll never direct a new machine at a network connection until that’s configured as tight as I can get it.
This is nonsense.

A newly installed Mac has ssh disabled unless you turn on "Remote Login" in the "Sharing" pane in System Settings. (Or enable it by some other method.)

And yes, if you do so the port will be 22 unless you choose a different one.

Anyhow carry-on I’ve posted a few photos. Let me know if that’s the first Mac APFS hard drive mounted and running on an iPhone you’ve seen.

Of course not. APFS is the file system on every single iPhone since the release of iOS 10.3 in 2017. (APFS was introduced on iOS first, and didn't come to macOS until 10.13 was released later that year.)

If you think you’ve been ‘hacked’ in macOS, you’re going to have a fit with Windows.

As has been said above and in your other thread, there’s no evidence of you being targeted here. Your claim that malware is attached to your iCloud account and your lack of understanding even basic # comments in a text file demonstrate that frankly, you don’t have a clue.

I’m having difficulty attaching more photos to this post, so let me know what else you’d like to see the routing table is quite interesting Lol and and while this isn’t directed at you directly, just a statement but when
You see and begin to actually absorb what many people have been complaining about over the last few years and while a security patch, almost every week is still not enough so instead of repeating and please excuse me because I don’t believe I’ve heard you utter these words, but as you know, they are the go to punchline and that is “apple/Mac can’t be infected with malware, erase and reset factory and you’ll be just fine” folks it’s 2023 and that entire premise is well might I say idiotic, and lacks any factual basis and is going to most likely be the downfall of a great company that once was because while everyone is professing with their nose, stuck in the air that apple/Mac can’t be infected with malware, there’s malware out there most likely sitting on their very own device, yet so elusive and sneaky they would never know so wake up get your head out of the clouds as it stands by the time you all finally decide to acknowledge the pink elephant in the room it’s gonna be too late! I digress But for lack of better words, I’m exhausted of this. This has been never ending constantly changing always evolving virus/malware/spyware/poison that I’ve been tracking down and it’s constantly moving from every device I own that’s ever been logged into an Apple ID. I’ve been a loyal customer of Apple since the iPhone 4. But today I say farewell, I bought myself a windows, PC and an android phone. What a long, strange trip it’s been!
What’s the point of your post?

If it is to share your opinion that Post-Jobs Apple is a security mess, your point is made and we can all move on.

If you are really seeking help you have two choices:

1. Follow the helpful instructions offered by @Arctic Moose and others — without all the speechifying which is not helpful.

2. Make a Genius Bar appointment and bring your multiple compromised Apple devices in to have Apple observe the issues. If the security issues are indeed the result of Apple issues Apple has reason to help you correct them.

Good luck 🍀.

how can spyware 'attach to login credentials'?

Probably in the same way you can "disable firewall with IPV6 rules and antivirus with plist files", "brute force enter through port 443" or "deescalate privileges through comments in the sudoers file".

Personally, I believe it is a rogue entry in Keychain Access enabled through RAM bit flips caused by carefully crafted and maliciously directed cosmic rays.

(As I am sure you have noticed, if you search for "maliciously directed cosmic rays" there will be no results. This is just further proof that Google, Microsoft, Apple and Meta are all in on the conspiracy. Also Procter & Gamble who have introduced the backup 5G nanobots into all breakfast cereal.)

The vector of choice these days is gravitational waves, my man. Cosmic rays are so last century.
