Malicious use of open AI source codes leading to persistent hacking across Apple devices

I’ve been hacked across all of my Apple devices for the past 6 years. I don’t blame Apple, I blame myself and of course, the person who’s been doing it. It used to be that they had to have access. He did and had downloaded remote software to my MacBook Pro. I had a computer company find it and uninstalled it. Then it was through our shared WiFi, so I had our ISP provider install a separate business class and installed a VPN. I was good for about 9 months. Mainly because I got stuck in FL and had changed admin on our 2nd house WiFi down there. Then he moved down and I found Imperius Remote Desktop had been downloaded onto MacBook Pro. I deleted it, bought another house and moved out. Now we live in the same retirement comm with my elderly parents where WiFi and basic cable are part of the amenity fees. So my new home WiFi has been hacked 2 times, across all my devices, (has MAC address’s) including Samsung TV. My parents home WiFi hacked, same Remote Desktop app on my Moms IPad, deleted that, but still hacked her phone, our joint Verizon account, shared calendar for their Dr.’s appts. & now maliciously my entire IPhone. I’ve wiped my MacBook Pro, turned in my IPad & Iwatch, I don’t know what to do at this point. Any ideas?

If this has been going on for six years, it's unlikely that AI has anything to do with it.


It is generally very difficulty to hack Apple devices without direct access. However, it's possible if the target is worth spending the half a million dollars or so to do it. If you are the target of that sort of high-level hacking, your wisest course of action is to consult security professionals.
