Below I have listed the details of my main and only issue of being repeatedly hacked a cross multiple Apple devices for the past 3 years and could really use some help. Is anyone up for something challenging? Thank you to anyone willing to assist.

I am disabled, finally after over 12 years of fighting for it. I had some back pay left after buying a house and car and had an idea for an App, but had to pay a company to create it. I can only hope that I have not been taken for a ride. I truly would love to get off of SSDI and earn my own money. The release is coming up, but I feel uncomfortable releasing it until I get some sense of security for myself.

I have been getting hacked on a regular basis on my Apple devices for over 3 years now at great financial and emotional cost. I have a MaxBook Pro 13” 2017, IPad 4, IPhone 14 Pro, and IWatch 7. I have PROOF of this hacking and have tried everything that I know to make it stop. I do not ever click on links, ads nothing like that. I have had to constantly change my Apple ID’s, pass codes, passwords and have factory reset everything so many times yet, it just keeps happening. So I decided to pay for a business class internet service with a static IP. I also purchased 3 YubiKey’s, but somehow screwed them up and now they don’t work. YubiKey doesn’t offer any phone support.

My background is in the retail automotive industry, but I have been the System Administrator for 11 years, worked in a call center that provided software support to dealerships for 3 1/2 yrs. and was a Certified Technical Trainer. So I do know a thing or two, but have never had to deal with any IT or security issues until now.

I have paid computer repair shops that have found and removed some inserted scripts, but the very next day it is back. I can’t find anyone to help me and I am losing my mind. I know who it is and some idea as to how it initially happened, but with everything that I have done to prevent reoccurrences, it’s still happening. I really need someone or many people to help me finally lock this crap down. Oh, I also keep my notebook of passcode/password changes in a safe.

I would think that Apple would want to get their hands on my devices to figure out how this continues to happen, but they have yet to offer. I appreciate finding this forum and hope and pray that someone would be kind enough to help me with this horrible, hopeless situation.

If you’re able/willing to elaborate on this aspect, it could help narrow down what exploit they had and are using to gain/have access control and how to possibly “plug the hole."
Thank you for your interest and input. It is greatly appreciated. I believe that he synced my two similar e-mail accounts together on the Google side. Was the same e-mail one just said @yahoo and the other said @gmail. Then I actually saw instructions on his phone from Google as to how to “mirror” an IPhone and then one morning woke up to a page talking about how to “bridge” with another phone. There was a link there and when I selected it, his phone in the other room rang and when I ran into see, he had the same page opened. Also, before Apple made face recognition AWARE, I saw that my Google account had this dreadful picture of me that I would NEVER have put up on my Google account. He knows how much I loathe Google and assumed I would never look? I lost my 30 years of e-mails because for some reason yahoo just dumped my mail and ID. It would not work anymore. I paid $13.99 a month for over 6 months and never got anyone to help me. Would my mail show up on ICloud with that same user ID. It ultimately became my first Apple ID. I then went crazy and started creating a bunch of yahoo, google and Apple e-mail accounts, which meant Apple ID’s trying to throw him off my trail, but it only made everything worse. I have also seen that I had two Google e-mail accounts. One time we were both on them at the same time. The real one had the new picture that I added and the other one just had my initial. I hurried up and jumped onto the “fake” one and changed the language to Spanish, which unfortunately neither one of us speaks and I still see it from time to time. At his job I had asked him if he knew anything about IT or was responsible for it and he said no, but just recently let it slip that he was the system administrator for the facility that he ran, but the main person was in TX. I have also seen random codes running on either my computer or his on any given time, which he totally downplayed and I also found out that he created even more yahoo and Google e-mail accounts and has used GitHub on multiple and often times. I hope all of this helps you help me. I just got my YubiKey’s in the mail and have to try those all over again. I had purchased 3, but somehow messed them up and they don’t have any phone support. Thank you very much for your time and reading all of this.

I also have over 1,130 pictures, videos and screenshots that have been on my devices or that I have seen on his. A lot of them would be meaningless, while many others say a lot.
