HELP!! Hacker installed AT&T Wifi Passpoint on Android!!

Can SOMEONE PLEASE help me?! Apparently, no one at AT&T (at least not on toll free numbers specifically designed for customer service and technical support), can figure this out. I won't even go into my hacking nightmare that is going on right now ... which AT&T cannot  figure out and neither can Uverse! Right now, because it's associated with my hacker, how can I uninstall AT&T Wi-Fi Passpoint from my Samsung Note 5? He installed it and I cannot get it off ... it doesn't matter if I've done a factory reset, I have tried just taking it off, disabling it .. it stays! He entered it using "credentials" and therefore, I can't remove it! He is using it and is going straight into all of my accounts online in my phone, has attached himself remotely as a LAN ... YES. LAN-Ethernet connection in my home, attacked home computer ...  thats just maybe 5% of the nightmare. I need to get ATT WIFI PASSPOINT off of my phone so if someone can please help me, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!!

Sounds like it was installed with an update, not a hacker. If you did a factory reset it literally removes everything not in the software on the phone. 99.99% of people claiming they have a hacker on here just have a misunderstanding of their technology

If you have a hacking issue that persists after factory reset, it’s most likely your google account.  Add 2 step authorization.  https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839?hl=en

I agree with @Anonymous.    Passpoint was installed during an update and is not why you have a problem.

Whatever is going on, it’s not the passpoint. The passpoint setting allows your phone to automatically connect to ATT WiFi hotspots without having to sign in. It does not allow a hacker access to your phone or home network.
