I'm being Hacked on my Mac OS Ventura 13.1. Is there any Mac system or other that I should disable to block the continuous access of this spy tool to my information?

I urgently need help.
I would reset the computer and reinstall the operating system, change all my passwords, and notify financial institutions of the breach if you had financial info on the computer.

What makes you think you are being "hacked"? No one can access your Mac unless you give them access.

I already canceled all my cards and changed all my passwords, but i know he's here since a minute ago a small window like the ones Mac shows to authorise the access to a file open and disappeared of the screen in a micro second.
If I reset the computer will I loose information? Do you think the tools he installed will be disabled? Where do I need to go to find the Computer Reset?
Yes you will lose everything when you reset the computer unless you have a backup. But given what you said about you giving someone access they may have created files you don't want to reinstall. Reset instructions are in the link I provided above.
When you say everything what are you referring to? Documents? Downloads? Photos? If I make a Backup now those malicious files will be reinstalled right?
Everything means everything. Yes, if you make a backup now you will backup the malicious files.
You could selectively/manually backup data/files you know are not malicious.
Thank you very much for your help. Can you please let me know where can I see when was the last backup done?
My system was cloned when my AnyDesk was started.
I am having the same problem I am getting g done wrong I need help
Were you hacked?
Is there any Mac system I should disable to block the access of a spy tool to my information?
