This is no help at all to the consumer. Big tech is infiltrating privacy so you need to learn yourself as you get profiled. Apple no longer helps I call no help, so best thing I can say is cut your losses and figure out next round yourself how to make it secure as no one cares about your security and also algo's are coming to take most security jobs and coding anyways. Focus your attention on not caring what they see as they already do so do what you can that is best for you.
