Hello,
I have a 2019 MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, a iPhone 12 Pro Max and an Apple Watch v 6.
I have been noticing that they have all been running slow and “odd” things have been happening recently. For example when I close my computer for the day (not putting it into sleep or shutting down), when I come back to it - I get a message about it not being able to log out due to some program not saving the work. I have a document in word that refuses to save for example. Apps on my phone stopped downloading updates automatically, sometimes they seem to have moved around.

I downloaded MalwareBytes at one point and never got any alerts so I thought everything was fine. More recently, I noticed that my wifi looked funny. It said “weak security” (see attached). Digging into it more, I some things were off, I was connected to a Network, I didn’t recognize. The tcp/ip had two ipvP6 addresses. I think I found a “backdoor” entrance, found some other odd things in users, sharing and a downloaded disc image. I included a lot of images with more detail. I know several coders and I’m wondering if it’s possible someone used their skills to have access to my personal info for their personal use? Or if someone is wanting my data for business purposes. Also, how do I find out for sure when it was done? Can I find out what exactly was done? Where is my data going? Who did it? I also attached the EtreCheckpro report. MalwareBytes is clear - Looks like there was something written in the code to bypass it. There are two different UUIDs under the Thunderport.

Please help! I can check anything else
