iPhone data breach causing excessive data usage, overheating, and battery issues

I have been battling a data breach and iPhone compatibility compromise for about eight months and when talking to Apple they acknowledge that it’s compromised but tell me to reset the phone. I have reset it with tier 3 engineers and also regular folks just over the phone and I’ve gotten nowhere. My phone pulls in about 2 TB a day every couple of days extremely hot does not stay charged and is causing a lot of issues. Including possible bankruptcy.

If Apple "tier 3 engineers" cannot resolve this then it is unlikely the people on this forum (who are everyday users like yourself) can.


Unless you are somebody in whom a hacker thinks it is worth investing a huge amount of money in compromising your hardware itself, it is more likely that any compromising is to your account , not the hardware.

my new phone is running on a server I will attach photos if I can below. This is the 2nd phone in 8 months and the other one went in due to the same issue. My phone is setup like an MDM running on apple developer platform. The back (once I was able to get through it) is pinging in 2 locations now. One in India and one in Macedonia. Once I get it off the server and hit location that’s the place it shows my phone. Both come back to apple repair location and if I can get into my I cloud it says all of my devices are being serviced. I was able to get it to come off the server today and discovered a magnitude of information. They have ported out my cell numbers and took my plan from a business account to an enterprise account and have locked me out. I can see that they have it setup with rules and all of them keep me from reaching apple and or law that can help since my little town has no clue how to battle it. Today when I was able to get into the server it I went to the servers settings and looked for the specs trying to track down both IP and also SN of whatever was running it and that’s when I discovered a big operation going on. I was able to seem the server and it has a link to over 20 plus Mac computer and the script code is very well structured. It had a place to type in for content so I put in a handful of close friends and families numbers and it pulled the info right up. They have my phone on developer mode beta. And the server is setup like it’s my business or multi country company. ( my business was a small pack and ship business and due to this I have had to close down) the fraud operation they are running is selling fake stuff via phone and have turned my phone into a hotspot that is LITERALLY running like a cell tower. 900 to a 1000 RF pw. I can see the thousands of emails they send out daily for apple support and in fact up-tell the day I closed my store if people called my landline it was directly to apple support and fax line was going to square support. On all other platforms like google and 365 they have created classrooms and have kept me out and have built so many setups I cant even wrap my head around it. I tried to put a fraud alert on my credit but they have my whole life in there hands with access to my personal iPhone. I am at a loss and I do know that if I just toss my phone it would help me however I need to get them out so i can try to rebuild my life. I can’t even get into my emails anymore and will be completely broke in the last couple weeks if I don’t get help ASAP. I like in a small town Klamath falls Oregon and if anyone can help or send help my family would forever be grateful. Thanks
