On an android j3 Luna--- I'm not tech savvy smart but I have factory reset my phone over and over and within hours the embedded and dreaded files of December 31, 1969 show back up!!!! My ex stalked me and knew everything about me and when I got his phone, he has ALL my exact files, texts, people, contacts ect in his phone. Like a carbon copy and then he has an email from public records search mail@once genuine from them to him and someone else on December 31, 1969 and it was on MY phone somehow???? HELP!!! I can barely use my phone, access accounts, ect!!!! WHAT FIXES THIS??? MAKE IT GO AWAY!!!!!
Any online accounts - emails especially - if possible use another device.computer to reset those passwords; rather than via your phone. And then you recreate all those phone based accounts/logins afresh - after following THX's suggestion.
If you do a search for "carbon copy virus", do you know what shows up? This post. If there was such a thing, there would be more that just one hit on Google. Unless it goes by a different name? "within hours the embedded and dreaded files of December 31, 1969 show back up!!!!"
Android & iOS used on iPhones are both based on Unix/Linux. The Unix epoch date is 1/1/1970. It's basically the starting point for Unix time keeping.... 00:00:00. What you're experiencing is a somewhat common glitch that's been around for many, many years, it's probably not a virus at all. There are plenty of sites that explain what it is & why the date change happens.
