I’ve found that somebody has gotten onto my MBAir and created me as their “shopper” utilizing ARD [Apple Remote Desktop]. That is my pc. Sharing is just not on. I’ve not given entry to anybody or shared my password. The alleged particular person is a pc programmer. After quite a few points the place I suspected tampering, (I’ve been by means of this earlier than which prompted Apple to switch the motherboard), I began doing searches in Terminal. That is once I found that they’re utilizing ARD to remotely hook up with my pc.
In an try to do away with this intrusion, I’ve used two sudo instructions to take away ARD from my MBAir. As soon as both terminal command runs, a discover seems stating that ARD can be eliminated after reboot. I reboot however the particular person reconnects; it reveals up as “restored” in a gray bar with a time stamp once I open my laptop computer. I began utilizing the sudo instructions in January.
I would like one other method to do away with this unlawful intrusion. Apple had me do a reinstall of the Sonoma Working System however that did nothing. Given the age of my pc, it could’t be upgraded to the brand new OS. Can I discover one thing embedded in Library on my HD that I may delete? Or a sudo command that can completely block this particular person. I’m not a pc scientist so lay language please. Thanks.
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Sources/kickstart -deactivate -stop
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Sources/kickstart -deactivate -configure -access -off
sudo systemsetup -setremotelogin off
When both command is run after I enter my password, the Terminal message reads: Beginning…Eliminated desire to start out ARD after reboot. Achieved.
When this particular person reconnects, I get a “restored” message in a gray bar adopted by my login time.
