Alarming results after running file recovery?
I ran a file recovery software and it returned thousands of documents. I've spent a LOT of time digging through them to find out what was done to my iMac (without my permission).
macOS Sierra 10.12.6
Here is some history on the device in question:
- Admin access was originally hers and not mine
- Admin access was added to my account
- Her account was removed from admin
- Her account was given admin access again
- Her admin access was removed
- She deleted her data
- Her user account was deactivated
My information & data remained (all of it, I think).
I've cut & paste parts of a couple of the suspicious documents I retrieved during the file recovery below. Some of these documents were very long and after editing this post, it no longer fits. I cut some things out and have now posted & linked to the longer one on github.
A link to the (long) Plist is (we'll refer to it as "Document 1") on github here.
I’ve done many hours (cumulatively days or even week by now) of searching trying to figure out what many of these processes are. Some appear to be completely normal, some were difficult to identify, and some looked outright malicious (given the context). Some of these processes appear to be programs that would tell another person about my activity, what I’m doing with my files or give another person control of my files either on my local network and/or remotely.
One such example is Aventail. It looks like a program that monitors activity.
https://www.eventtracker.com/knowledge-center/aventail-ssl-vpn/
In the top right corner of my screen (next to my username, date, and other icons), there is a black rectangular shaped icon with white vertical lines going through it. When I click on it now, a drop down menu with "VPN is not configured" (not clickable), and "Open Network Preferences" appears. I am almost certain that this was not like this before (it said something different, but I don’t remember what it was). I don't know how or if that might be relevant. This was one of the original clues that made me investigate further.
My google research tells me that there are a few programs listed in the list that monitor activity. Strangely, I saw a few of them on lists that were posted in similar documents elsewhere on the internet. I’m not sure why that’s the case or what it means about my specific situation.
It looks like this program Aventail was, in fact, run on my computer. After a google search told me that it has the ability to monitor activity via SSL VPN, I did a search in Finder for the term Aventail and found a few documents generated through the file recovery that seems to be relevant here.
Nothing new in the system turned up for the search term "Aventail", only documents in the file recovery. I assume this is because these documents were deleted and then recovered and also that the term isn't currently in my system (other than what's been deleted & recovered).
Documents 2 & 3 turned up in my file recovery that show her username associated with the software in question. I redacted parts of it for obvious reasons.
Document 4 turned up by searching for the term “hamachi”. Once again, this only turned up in recovered documents and nowhere else.
Document 5 I think confirms my suspicions that I wasn't exactly "hacked", but that my former partner gained access to my info/data and was able to view and/or log my activity.
If you're good with computers and know your way around an iMac, you'd likely have used a very different process than what I went through for all this, but let's say that you did it like I did and what I've posted here were your results. What would be alarming about them to you? What would be indicative that your data was transferred or was being looked over by someone other than yourself?
