I think my S8 has been hacked (Help!)

Hi all,

I have a strong suspicion that my phone has been hacked. Recently, someone gained physical access to my Samsung s8 and ever since then there have been a ton of random applications that appeared in the "All apps" folder and many other aspects of the "feel" have been off.

I snooped around the phone's file, and found a 40 page script of code (I have no training in any of this), that I was hoping someone on here would have some insight about.

An excerpt of this code is provided below:

It goes on and on but it seems like someone inserted something into my McDonalds app. In addition, when my phone rebooted after the incident that caused all of this, the McDondalds app on my home page (which is odd as I never use it and have never treated it as a go-to app.)

I'm losing my mind over here. Please tell me what's going on. I think this is a sophisticated attack such that anti-virus programs do not catch on to it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Factory reset your s8

Thank you. Do you have any insight about the excerpt I provided above? I've read of some reports where factor resetting did not address the issue if the phone was hacked on a fundamental level (i.e., it would simply reset it back to the regular, hacked version)? Apologies if this sounds ignorant, but this is quite troubling.

Thanks

Best guest when you installed a app it got a trojan through the app so if factory reset doesnt work, then doing a full OS install will reset your phones internal I'd and reset info that the hacker placed in your device
