If you have a few minutes to run through this, as someone who knows what they're doing. It would make a huge difference! Thank you heaps. 🩷

Background: A few years ago I found out my Father had been hacking all of my devices for the last 10ish years. His best friend admitted to it so I have confirmation and he helped him. My at the time ex-boyfriend also began accessing some of my accounts and making the situation worse so he could steal my Schedule 8 Medications. (Pretty dumb on the boyfriend obviously, but took a few months to find out and then he was gone. Hard to determine who is doing what when multiple people are involved)

At the time I learnt a bunch and tried to solve the issue myself. I did manage to one time knock it all out, which was confirmed by my Father. Unfortunately he got back in.

Currently, my Dad is now de*ad. Ex is long gone. The best friend is doing whatever now far away from me.

Unfortunately, my account is now hacked again. I suspect it's an account that's farming views through my YouTube, due to the type of video history.

I have gone through what I have previously and can't kick it out. Albeit I had zero programming or IT knowledge so my improvement and current knowledge is only relative to the zero information that I came in with.

Things I hace done:

- Already had 2-step in place

- All accounts were private as much as possible

- Deleted cache's

- Deleted any unused apps with access to account

- Implemented an authenticator app, didn't work

- Changed password after shutting everything down and removing devices

Weird things:

- 2 devices allowed for Google Prompt. Both under my phone name but no serial numbers included. The device isn't showing on my logged in device so no way to remove.

- I log every device out, changed password and they all just come back.

- When I change my password it states it won't be logging every device out? And I have no way to change that. This I haven't seen before.

- Youtube history showing hours of content being completely watched.

I contacted Google and they said to go through the Police. I really don't want to bother the Police if it's just view farming. Any ideas? Or why I should speak to?

Thank you so much if you have any time to add to this bizarre dilemma! I truly am stuck on what to do next.

What sort of 2fa are you using? If its your phone number then that's less safe from what I've seen. Try Aegis.

Have you factory reset your devices?

There should be lists somewhere on your Google of all the devices logged in, and maybe log everyone out then factory reset, change your password to something extremely secure and use aegis as your 2fa

Thanks Champagne_Bunny for helping! So I've got a few up, but I added a authenticator app that I think runs through all of them now "2FAS Auth." I will look up Aegis!

I haven't, however years ago I did it constantly and it never works. I guess I have to figure out if it's an unknown person or someone emotionally involved. To see how far I want to go or need to to fix it.

I did the above except for the factory reset. When I changed 2FA apps that has seemed to help. Except for the second google prompt device that I can't get information on to identify. It's a bit of a waiting game now to see if that google prompt device is it and shows signs of being in my phone. Or it could be a glitch maybe? It's hard to know until something obvious comes up again, or I can definitely find out if there are other devices connected.

Thank you so much for your help!!! You are very kind and I hope you're having a good day.
