Apple ID been hacked?

Suddenly my old apple id (the one that is not my email address like for icloud) is not working with the password I have always used. When I went in to reset the password, I put in my birth date and it said it was wrong. Then I tried the email option, but have received no email from apple. Has my account been hacked? If so, what do I do?

I hear that Apple has been hacked and viruses uploaded into the system. Is this true?

My trusted friend informed me that Apple has been hacked and viruses are being uploaded. Better find out the truth....so, is this true?

Has my Apple account been hacked?!

I received the following 2 emails just now:

Dear XXXXXXXXX,
Your Apple ID, XXXXXXXXXXXXX, was just used to purchase Gift Certificate for [?] from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not make the purchase yourself.
If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go toiforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple
I defintely DID NOT change any account info or purchase a gift certificate.... have I been hacked??
I immediately reset my password but now I'm scared I'm going to be charged for something. I also checked my online banking and nothing is waiting to be taken out of account.
The first email was sent from: [email protected]
The second email was sent from: [email protected]
Are these official emails, since I did not change/purchase anything I'm now worried these were fake emails and someone will now have access to my account (I clicked the links in the email and reset my password from there).
What should I do???

UPDATE: I've just had a pop up on my iPhone which says:
"You downloaded an app on your computer. Turn on Automatic Downloads to receive apps on this device without having to sync."
NO I DIDN'T!!
This has happened after I just changed my password......

My credit card has been cancelled due to multiple I tunes billing requests not made by me. Apple has been hacked ?

My credit card has been cancelled. Multiple attempted transactions in SW U.S.A. NO recent purchases by me
Apple is Hacked ?
Cannot view these transactions
Australian card / billing address
Where is S U P P O R T for this question ?????

You need to speak with your credit card company - they will usually contact the vendor after you inform them of fraudulent purchases.

Hi Apple support, my name is Derek Turner and I have been hacked through a friend's email account and I wish to know if 1. I can clean my email list of names and account with software and 2. How is it possible to delete emails that are still coming back

Hi! My name is Derek Turner and I have been hacked through a friend's email message to me which I opened unsuspecting any danger. Initially, he sent me an 'attention' or warning email with a link which I tried to open but it could not be opened, so I left it not knowing what it was all about at the time. Later, I received another email from him (probably the hacker) and opened a 'not very pleasant' web site. It did not twig with me at the time as I am a bit new to this type of thing but when I mentioned it to my wife she immediately said that I had been 'hacked'. By this time it was too late, and it infected all my email addresses! I would be grateful if you may know if there is software that I can use to clean up my email account and if there is anything for iPad minis that can prevent this happening in future? (Malware, Firewall?). I am also getting emails back that relate to the hacker and I cannot 'delete' them from my iPad, only on my PC! Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time regarding this matter,
Derek Turner,( a very new iPad mini user!)

Hi,
I don't think that can be solved by any advice the regular posters could post here.
I would go back to Apple and explain the situation (again).
I would also consider closing the account (Apple rarely seem to do this as accounts are never deleted but just closed).
I understand this may cause issues for things purchased in iTunes and the App Store which my include Restoring the OS at some point.

How can I make my Apple ID security? It has been hacked three times in a week!

Just in a week, I found my apple id(this id) has been hacked for three times!
When I was trying to login in to the ITunes Connect, it returned following error,
    Your Apple ID or password was entered incorrectly.
I'm sure I entered the password correctly that I checked it many times and it's never happens before. So every time it happens, I use the forget password tool to reset the password. Just in a week, the incorrect password occurred 3 TIMES and I have reseted my password 3 TIMES to get control back.
I'm a developer so first time it happens I did aware of there might be hacker. So I cleared all password cache in my machine, scan virus and reset the password of Apple ID and my mailbox in a more complex letters.
However, ever I did so, my password still goes wrong and the error happens again and again.
And one thing I can't understand in this story is,
     - Every time I reset my password I got an email notification, it always works, during my 3 resets.
     - When my password is hacked (I can just assume it's a hack), there's no email notification. I can almost sure the email is not deleted, because no matter how fast it's delete, my mobile should receive a popup anyway.
Now I have tried everything I can but my account is still not safe. I want report this issue to Apple that they can figure out the problem, to avoid a bigger security disaster. But I could not find a contact from apple for this problem, I sent a mail [email protected] but no reply. It's so terrible...
So i ask for help in this forum, I'd appreciate if anybody can help either security suggestion to me or help find the contact of apple.

account disabled for security reasons: http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS2446

I think I've been hacked? A few days ago my phone asked for my Apple ID and I entered it not thinking anything of it and now I've just been in my music library and there is a whole album of songs by an artist that I have never heard of? Help?!

Basically my iPhone 4 asked for my Apple ID and I entered it thinking it was just some check or something and then I've just been scrolling through my music library and there is a whole U2 album there and i have never even heard of U2... i clicked on one of the songs to see what it was and it came up with "This device is already associated with an apple ID. If you download past purchases with your apple ID, you cannot auto download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
I Can't delete the album like I can with my other music from my phone and I don't really want to connect my phone to my laptop incase I have been hacked and it could give the person all access to my phone?
Pde lease help me out, I don't know what's happened:(

Do the half billion copies of the album they gave away count as "sales"?
Let's see... An album has to sell 500,000 copies to go gold, 1,000,000 copies to go Platinum, 10,000,000 copies to go diamond... What will they come up with for 500,000,000 copies sold?
Something radioactive would be cool... though difficult to display safely on the wall...

I have a feeling my personal Apple Laptop computer activities may be being monitored. I feel my Apple Laptop may have been hacked into. I noticed suspicious item in my wastebasket that I did not remove or know what it means ("roaming password..")

I replaced my and my family's electronic phones and computers with Apple products due to their superior security capabilities, and the intgrity of their workforce. Thus I come to you for help with a serious concern in hopes that you can help me.
Possible Hack into my personal Apple Laptop
I have a feeling my Apple Laptop has been hacked into and is being monitored. Today I noticed that an old HP printer that we removed from our wireless setup was still connected. In my attempt to remove the old one I noticed that as I was trying to do so it seemed my actions were being shadowed and both of my printer icons (old and new printer) dissapeared. Anyway I looked in the wastebasket and noticed the following item which I had never noticed before: "roaming_password_for_1475_txt_webarchive" in the trash. As it looked suspicious I restored it onto my desktop to open it and research it and it had information on it saying, To remove the DOCOMO interTouch Cable turn on the wireless network conection on your computer....." It had text giving my username and password for roaming - I could not copy or pirnt the information from my desktop, so I took a copy and video of it via my Apple cell phone.
Possible Hack into my personal Apple Cell Phone:
I have noticed that when I am on phone calls with certain people, my phone will emit a loud long beep. I am involved with protecting jobs through a union, and am concerned that the county I work for may have had one of their IT people hack into my phone, etc...
Can you please help me with this? PLEASE.
With appreciation

Apple FreeLotto message, has my friends account been hacked or worse?

I went to my friend's place to help them with anoher problem when they showed me their iPhone. It had a message about winning some Apple FreeLotto Promo and to contact a non Apple e-mail address in Romania. While I'm sure it's a scam, the problem was that it wasn't an SMS or app notification, but a kind of message I've never seen before.
It was a message with large white text on a grey background with a white rectangular dismiss button with large black writing. Pressing the home button didn't make the message go away. The message said "Your mobile number has won #990,000 GBP in Apple Freelotto Promo,Ref No:######,to claim send your name,email & mobile to ###########@####.ro" The first # is actually the British pound symbol. The second lot of ###'s is the reference number, and the third and fourth lot of ###'s were from the e-mail address. I was able however to take a photo while the message was still there by pressing the home and sleep/wake button. The only way to dismiss the message was to press the Dismiss button, after which the phone was in the locked state. Maybe the phone was locked before the message first appeared. After that I couldn't find any notifications or any such message in SMS, e-mail, the notifications centre, or other appe..
What kind of message is this? Does this mean that my friend's Apple account has been hacked? Or could it be worse, e.g. that her iPhone or Apple's servers were hacked?
Just in case, I got my friend to change here apple ID password.
BTW: The phone is an iPhone 4 or 4S running iOS 7.1.1. She bought it from a phone carrier and is unlikely to hjave ben jailbroken.

You got a Flash SMS. Someone or prankster use a tool.
Read this from Wikipedia:
Flash SMS[edit]
A Flash SMS is a type of SMS that appears directly on the main screen without user interaction and is not automatically stored in the inbox.[63] It can be useful in emergencies, such as a fire alarm or cases of confidentiality, as in delivering one-time passwords.[64]

From your description it sounds like your Hotmail account was compromised. Does anyone else know the password and could they have changed it?

You have not been hacked. Get rid of all that antivirus. It is just making your life harder.

I have an iphone 4s that has been hacked. Apple support has suggested that a 3rd party software has been downloaded replacing apple software which enables the hacker to screen share. I need all the info about how it was done, and how to fix the problem.

The only way the iPhone could have been hacked in such a manner, at least by any method currently confirmed, is if the iPhone was jailbroken. Was yours?
