URGENT: THERE IS A MAJOR SECURITY FLAW IN APPLE'S IOS DEVICES
SERIOUS CYBER ATTACK USING EXPLOIT IN APPLE PRODUCTS
My Story:
People are saying it’s a miracle, I survived one of the most viscous cyber attacks our technology has ever seen…
A major security flaw in Apple’s iOS devices MFi chip is allowing my child’s father access to my WiFi network name and password. With the information he collects he is trying to steal my business and get sole custody of our child.
I knew my Apple devices were hacked, but I couldn’t stop it from happening…
On September 20th, 2018, I walked into an AT&T store and asked a representative, “theoretically, if I thought my devices were hacked then changing the network would resolve my problem?” He replied “Yes”. So I went to Verizon, where I would transfer phone services with hopes of resolving my problem. During the same visit, I changed phone devices I would use from Apple to Samsung. A Samsung representative was at the store during the visit, and he gave me a bunch of free stuff. Tee-shirts, sunglasses, things of that nature. It was then that I would become a Samsung customer for the rest of my life. I left my Apple devices in the “Off” position, until a later date when I would back everything up to the iCloud and wipe each device individually.
The phones and tablets were backed up, erased, and reset to factory settings from a remote location using my mobile hot spot; the computers were erased and its operating system was re-installed in the comfort of my new home while over the phone with a Senior Care Representative of Apple’s customer support team. There were a total of 5 Apple devices: (2) iPhones, (1) iPad, (1) MacBook Air, and (1) iMac.
Things ran smoothly for a while, I was able to control the data exposure until I turned on the previously cloned iMac, exposing the device to my new internet environment. Around the same time, I purchased a blue tooth light bulb made by LIFX from Best Buy. I vividly remember struggling to connect the blue tooth light bulb to my new Samsung phone, for unknown reasons my device was unable to connect. I tried several times on various different dates but could not sync the device with the appropriate application on my phone. It was as though something was interfering with the connection, but I would leave the light bulb in the lamp fixture and forget all about it. The date was around October 15th, 2018.
On November 2nd, 2018, I picked up my daughter from her father's house at approximately 7:00pm. At 7:24pm, I was driving when I started receiving notifications to update login credentials on my phone, the person responsible for cloning my devices was aggressively changing administrative passwords for both personal and business email accounts. Immediately, my reaction was to pull over to the side of the road, rip the SIM card out of all my devices, park them in “airplane mode” and remove the battery for additional security. I then checked myself into a hotel room for the next 3 days and tried to maintain admin control of my accounts. It wasn’t long before I realized one of the methods being used to access my data was utilizing IOT devices. I called home and asked my uncle to unplug my iMac, unscrew the light bulb and remove every electronic device I owned from the household, he did what I asked without question. At one point, the hacker’s device name revealed during a direct phone pairing session, he wrote “I don’t have any family close by…” meaning I don’t have any family nearby that can help me, confirming what I already knew, it was my child’s father who was cloning my devices. Eventually, I would place all of my accounts in recovery mode and return to my aunt’s house in Tampa.
While recovering access to the hacked data, a photo of Verizon's representative "Jessica" was revealed. This photo was tagged at a location in West Melbourne, Florida. I was not present when the photo was taken, and the photo implies somebody may have had unauthorized access to my account information. Another source mentioned this person may have also used my ID during an in-store visit at AT&T. When recovering access to email data, I received a suspicious email from USPS.com regarding a recent transaction using the online portal, which was not myself. In addition to receiving a customer satisfaction survey regarding a recent hospital visit at Baptist Health South Florida on December 5th, 2018; I did not visit the facility on this date. Looking back on January 19th, 2018, I disputed 2 trade lines which appeared on my company's Experian business credit report. Experian confirmed both trade lines did not match the correct company addresses, and both accounts were removed from the report.
Unauthorized purchases were made using payments information and other data saved to the cloned devices. In-app purchases were made using applications such as Amazon, Uber, and PayPal, just to name a few. Personal banking information was exposed in relationship to multiple in-branch cash withdrawals that were not made by me. A total of transactions exceeding $139,000.00 over the past 3 years. Other losses of the data breach include but are not limited to business loss and customer data.
Where do I go from here?
