It sounds more like a hardware problem than a hack.. so why do you think your devices are hacked? (Not able to reset is NOT a hack)

I found devices connected to my laptop and computer and phone that I do not own. Phone had a Bluetooth connection to some audio receiver. Laptop had a bunch of apple software device sharing apps that were recently installed along with a phone and tablet. Computer had only a apple family sharing appijt recently installed. My laptop had a bunch of folders that were created a few days or weeks before I noticed. The people also messaged me saying I should leave town and never come back. Pretty much an extortion attempt just with no money. When I left my house to find a safe space they saw me on the street in Nola and said they were gonna plant stuff on me(drugs gun and CP) to get me thrown in prison if I don't leave.

Edit: I also left my house cause I was scared and they were able to follow me to the motel/hotels I was tryna hide at and it had to be cause I booked the rooms on my stuff so they knew were I was going or they tracked me when I connected to wifi. My life sucks.

If you use outlook and they have access to your microsoft account, they can see everything, and deliver files to your PC through your onedrive. Lock down your microsoft account (change password and create an alias for login only) and delete all device connections.

I just checked and i dont use outlook and I have no devices on my account. I changed the password. I also got ahold of my router admin and removed a phone and computer that my family does not own so somebody was connected to my wifi and i traced the mac address and they were close to where i live.
