Email has been hacked and cannot recover

I have a huge problem with my primary account. 
All a sudden I was not able to access it and all my contacts received
a spam email from my account. I have tried everything in getting back on
(recovery, phone code, secret answer). It is clear that I have been hacked.
I do not know who to contact or to help me. This has been my main email for the
past 10 years and all my accounts/ contacts are linked to this email.
Could someone please help me on what to do with this issue? I do have proof of ownership
of this email.
As I said I tried the recovery page answering everything to the folders in the mail up to subject
titles. It says that they cannot identify me. I am wondering if the hackers have deleted everything
on my account.
What could I do? is there anything I could do on my end? This email address is very important to
my personal life and to my business as I am a freelancer.
Could someone please help me his is very important.
Regards,
M

    Rescue Email has been hacked I cannot rest my security questions what I have to do?

    You won't be able to change the addres until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use steps 1 to 7 half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use

  • What should I do if my imac has a virus and my email has been hacked

    what should I do if my imac has a virus and my email has been hacked

    when you say your email has been hacked... Do you mean that people are telling you that they are getting emails from you that you never sent?
    It is possible that it is a virus, but also it could have been due to a phishing scam.
    Another possibility could be that someone is using a script or program that uses your email as an Alias (Mask) to cover up who the email is really being sent from.
    As far as what to do if you think you have a virus, just make sure your software is up to date by clicking the () in the upper left and then click 'Software Update'.
    You can get virus scanner software, and antivirus programs as well as Rudegar said as well.
    Is anything else behaving abnormally other than your email?

  • My email account has been hacked and my address book has been used to send unsolicitated emails to all my contacts, how can I stop this activity

    My email account has been hacked and my address book has been used to send unsolicitated emails to all my contacts.

    First of all
    Run windows in safe mode (with network) and change your password on your email account.
    Then
    run several anti-malware programs (there are many free ones, but not all are trustworthy)
    Malwarebyte >> http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    Microsoft Safety Scanner >> http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
    Windows Defender >> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/using-defender
    Spybot >> http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
    Kasperky >> http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan
    Rootkit scanner TDSS-Killer >> http://support.kaspersky.com/5350
    And when all is clean, change password for your email account again.

  • My account has been hacked and my credit card charged by the hacker

    My account has been hacked and my credit card charged by the hacker and all Skype has to say about it, is that I need to wait 72 hours for them to look at my query? I cannot log into my account. I have filled in the support form, but I haven't received an email notification from Skype that I have submitted it. I'm guessing that's because my account is now in the use of someone else, as the hacker changed the account over to his email address. I know he did that, as I got a notification of changing the email address at the same moment as I was logged out of Skype.  I use Skype professionally and this issue is causing me a world of trouble. The fact that Skype is a paid service ought to mean that there is better support than 'we will look at it within 72 hours.' 

    So nearly 24 hours later, and still no information either in this forum or via email notification from Skype.  Does this mean that Skype is instead communicating with the person who hacked my account? Since the hacker now has my account registered with their email address, It seems that's the most likely situation, given the unparallelled course of incompetence I'm experiencing from them.  If Skype had taken action on this right away (the moment I made the complaint, which was minutes after my account was hacked) the charge that the hacker made on my credit card would not be lost due to his usage of my account. But apparently, stopping fraud is so low on Skype's agenda that this can go on and on. If I had not been on Skype when it happened (prompting me to instantly block my credit card) there would have been nothing to stop the hacker from making multiple charges to my card, potentially running into the hundreds of dollars.  Instead of action to deal with my problems, I'm receiving notifications that I have earnt 'a new rank' in the Skype community. Whoop-dee-bleedin'-doo!

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

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool. Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:

    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • HT201342 Is there any way to find a log of the send e-mail from ICloud.. to analyse how many email has been send and deleted within a day from send items

    Is there any way to find a log of the send e-mail from ICloud.. to analyse how many email has been send and deleted within a day from send items

    Thx Winston,
    I can count the send item. But let me try to explain why did I ask this question.
    I had a trouble in sending e-mails from icloud on 22/2 and when I saw in my send item there were no emails.
    But the mesgs to whom I emailed received and out of which only few of them didn't got the email. So I wanted to know the log abt the outflow of the mesg with subject and the receipants email id and the list with attachment or not.
    How and where will I get the information apart from send item and draft mesg and the outflow undelivered?
    Regards

  • My hotmail email has been hacked into. I've changed my password and hope this fixes the problem. Does this mean my imac software is infected. If so what should I do? Everything appears to be working ok.

    My hotmail email account has been hacked into. I've changed my email password and hope this fixes the problem.  Will my iMac system software now be infected and if so what should I do about it?  Everything appears to be working ok.   Is there a free to use software package available on the web, totally secure and reliable, which can scan my iMac for viruses and fix them if any are found.

    Unless you have installed anything, you are fine.

  • Macbook has been hacked and  Genius Bar cannot help..anyone here please?!

    My MacBook has been hacked, the mouse started moving on its own and clicking etc. the next day someone called my home and told me my system had been hacked, which I guessed was the mouse activity. So I downloaded the programme they asked me to, stupidly, which enabled them to remotely control my computer. The screen went blue and they started opening my documents / creating folders etc. I had a nasty feeling the whole time and when this happened i force shut down my latop. Ever since then sporadically the mouse will start playing  up and clicking onto things etc. Everytime this happens I immediately shut down. I have been to Apple 3 times and had my computer wiped but it still happens. trackpad has been tested and is fine. I have called my internet provider and they say nothing looks out of the ordinar. Called a non emergency police number and other than advising me to change passwords and Bank details, which I had already done, no one can help me. I have adjusted my computer security settings, unplugged my internet cables etc. I literally can't think what else I can do to try and fix this. I work freelance design and my laptop is so important, I'm getting so frustrated that nobody can help!! please get in touch if you can help me!! Thanks a lot.
