We only go after legitimate targets
I am a teacher and they went after me
I helped a friend write a complaint to a Judicial Ethics Commission pointing out blatant fraud, and unethical conduct by a Judge and Amicus Attorney.
Approximately 4 days before the complaint was to be filed, I had 3 windows based computers on my home network rendered to Digit zeros with with evidence documents and other exhibits for the complaint destroyed.
At the time, I didn't really know what happened and just assumed it was a virus that hit my network and all I needed to do was to do were reinstalls of the computer operating systems and all would be well. I was wrong. Even to this day, I continue to have network and computer problems.
After the network attack, the windows computers were rendered as junk. I ordered a new Macbook Pro thinking that a new computer would solve the network problems. The network problems continued. Shortly after the new Macbook Pro was delivered to my home from the Apple online store, I discovered that the EFI Firmware Password had been set before it was delivered. Somebody had tampered with this computer before it arrived at my home. Apple stated that they did not know how this would have happened and they agreed to replace the computer with the one that I am now using.
I continued to have problems.The recent NSA leaks confirmed my suspicions that I was targeted, but I still have a hard time believing that the government would do such a thing.
After the Snowden revelations, I was determined that I was going to find out for sure and press the issue with Apple. I could never get Apple to do any followup calls to address my issues. Before this ordeal, I knew very little about computers, but I have educated myself to an extent and Apple cannot or will not answer my questions. When no Sr. Apple Technician in the United States will return my calls, it seems that all my calls to Applecare are routed to Applecare in Canada.
Recently a Sr. Level Apple Advisor in Canada stated to me that when Apple initially replaced the computer which had the firmware tampered with, they replaced it with a computer that did not have the standard operating system that it should have had. The replacement computer had a modified operating system installed.
Why would Apple do this? This is the question that I asked the Sr. Level Apple Advisor and he said he did not know why this was done nor did he know why or how the firmware was tampered with. This has to stop
The powah as you refer to them are nothing more than a band of rogue criminals . They will be caught. It's real interesting when I call applecare and start have them go through the font book step by step. Everyone especially applecare that the base of a system starts with the fonts. If you have bad fonts the whole system is bad. It looks like now I am trying to shore up the font book and get rid of all the red xs

This is when Apple technicians start giving the run around and never return calls which is where I am at now. I am tired of them asking me "Why did you install that font" What are you doing in Terminal? It's my computer and I can look at anything i want.
yes and if you get put on the list, you get signed up as a "developer" customer in that Apple uses your account for software development. Applecare technicians have been trained to play dumb. When you find an obvious sign that something is not right the technician asks "what are you doing looking at the /var folder" come on get a clue Apple.
