Trust store version 2022070700 trust asset version 18 is this safe

How can I tell if my trust certificates are authentic and safe? My iPhone has been compromised and I am trying to check all my security settings before signing back into iCloud. I somehow had a list of trust certificates and fingerprints show up in my files and I have no idea where it came from. So, that is the reason for even checking my trust certificates. I never even knew they existed until this. I can’t pin point exactly how they are hacking me but I do have some theories and geek squad gave me alot of insight but, no exact way of it happening. Trust store version 2022070700 trust asset version 18 is this safe? Authentic?

Hey, just an update. I found out what all the certificates are for. My “hacker” ex enrolled my devices in the Apple MDM and it uses a group of certificates to verify a device, or in my case, devices. Not sure if this applie to you or not but check out what Apple MDM service is and maybe that can help you. The only way to remove the work/school account created is to remove all data from the device. Hope this helps!

If you believe you are enrolled in a profile, remove it. Settings > General > VPN & Device Management

If you believe that your Apple ID has been compromised, which it seems your ex has done, If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support

The trust stores and trust asset are perfectly normal and installed on every Apple Device as part of the operating system.

Yes I understand that but they shouldn’t show up in your files and the shouldn’t be 100s of them saved in the files folders. That is not how it works

Well, I still don’t know what all the certificates are for but, I did find out how they got in my files. Someone (and “someone” is a hacker I used to know) created a work/school account with my Apple ID and is signing in and out of my account. So, they’re seeing all my file, notes, etc and in return I am seeing his. Which, isn’t a very smart “hacker” because now we know who has been doing this. Unfortunately, this has been going on for a long tine and I just never knew it. It’s an endless trap that has led to a lot of stress. Getting rid of my Apple ID along with all my other accounts linked to it seems to be the only way to stop it :( hopefully this os not the case for you but,good luck. If anyone finds anything out about what the certificates do it would be appreciated. I still don’t understand why there are 100s of them in my phone?
