iPhone and home devices infiltrated by sophisticated APT hacker, what are my options?
Hello all.
I have been a victim of an APT hacker for the past several years. I do not know why I was targeted because these category of hackers typically are supposedly funded by nation-state to perform an attack on large scale and important figures and companies, but there are a few mentions of them hacking "low hanging fruit" or "standard users" who are not well versed in cybersecurity, computers and networks. I suspect the latter to be the case, as I am not the only victim of this attack, the hacker has hundreds of not thousands of victims.
Through an unknown method, the hacker is able to infiltrate into the networks remotely, and is able to infect all devices connected to the network with malware, spyware, RAT and rootkits. The hacker is able to see all activities, listen to microphones and cameras, access to files and more.
iPhones, Windows PC, Modem, Router, all vulnerable to the hacker's infiltration. While extremely skilled and powerful, the APT hacker is very fearful of law enforcement, and takes extreme measures to never get caught or reveal their identity. The usage of many false identities, impersonations, botted accounts, spoofed numbers, and more.
Regular antivirus software, and standard firewalls and security apps are not effective against this kind of persistent sophisticated and stealthy attack.
What are my options? And yes I did contact law enforcement numerous times but no answers. These are things I've tried:
- Clean installation of devices (iPhone: DFU mode and reinstall using iTunes ipsw file, PC: full format and wiping and reinstalled using clean usb installation media)
- Paid antivirus solutions, VPN
- Isolated device from network, and enrolling to a new network (5G network, the new modem gets hacked within a day)
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 18
