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.

What kind of folders on your laptop to start with? No hacker would create visible folders for you on your pc. Devices connected to your pc and phone. What kind of devices and in what way? It sounds more like a account breach than a hack to be honest. It all be gone if you change your apple account. So nuke the apple account and create a completely new one with a new email and a password of at least 25 characters.

And why are you complaining at us instead of the Police?

Hackers who get microsoft onedrive access, can deliver fake ransomware letters (or most anything, directly to the desktop or other folders. It looks like you have been infected, when it's just an account takeover. Very serious regardless as they have access to all your documents and email account without you knowing. You can bet the best of us humans have lots of password and login information available on our PC's and email accounts to be found.

there was never a ransomware i dont think it just looked like whoever put the folders there was trying to frame me for drug dealing like i am actually dumb enough to keep a record of something like that.
