  • I just recieved a notification that says "your iphone has been hacked. All your photo's and calls are compremised"..... Should I be worried?

    Hi all,
    I just recieved a notification that says "your iphone has been hacked. All your photo's and calls are compremised"..... Should I be worried or is this a very pathetic attempt of a hacker? Please advise as soon as possible. Below is a screen shot.
    Thank you for your help.

    Is your phone jailbroken? If not, just ignore/delete the message...it's a Flash SMS, & nothing but spam. If your phone is not jailbroken, you have nothing to worry about.

  • 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.

  • My Account Has Been Hacked/Unauthorized Purchases

    Hello all, I'm hoping that you can help me with my problem.
    I discovered earlier this week that my Apple iTunes account had been hacked.  Unfortunately, whoever hacked my account changed my account information and purchased $100 in gift cards.  Luckily, for whatever reason the charges haven't yet (fingers crossed) appeared on my debit card statement.  Regardless, I have been trying to contact Apple since Tuesday to no avail.  I have not been able to uncover an iTunes customer support telephone number (I may be an idiot, but I looked for about 1.5 hours and didn't find one, only numbers for placing orders, etc.).  Instead, I've read that I should use the "Report a Problem" button on the "Purchase History" screen in iTunes.  I would be more than happy to do this, IF IT WAS POSSIBLE!  Sadly for me, the grey arrow circle is not available next to the order, so I am unable to report it.
    I visited apple.com and was overjoyed to find an e-mail form to report unauthorized purchases with.  I filled it out and received an automated reply which said to expect a reply within 24 hours.  24 hours came and went and I hadn't received a reply, so I sent another e-mail yesterday afternoon.  This is actually humorous because on the second automated reply, it said to expect a response within 48 hours.  Maybe they are really busy right now?
    I haven't used my iTunes account since I discovered the unauthorized purchases as I'm not sure how Apple deals with these situations.  I've left my account the way the hacker left it (with his name, address, etc.).  This is becoming quite annoying to me as I would like to download some new apps.
    Is anyone out there dealing with the same issue?
    Thanks for your replies...

    Hey folks, this just happened to me too... Looks like purchases happened yesterday and ran up some gift cards, but on the penny of someone elses account information and credit card info.  Pretty crazy too, just sent an email and hoping to get this cleared up for my sake and whoever was charged.  (I doubt they meant to charge 100 bucks in gift cards to someone named Ruth) 
    In a crazy way I'm glad I'm not the only one this has happened to...  Sorry that this happened to you guys...

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • Dear Sir, Miss, I just created an Apple id, but each time I try to verify it, it says that there is allready an account on my e-mailadress

    I just created an Apple id, but each time I try to verify it, it says that there is allready an account on my e-mailadress, this while it is the first time I registred. How do I have to do this?  Thanks!
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
    When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
    How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
    Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.

  • HT2534 How do you create an apple ID account with no credit card. HELP!!!

    There is no 'none' button for selecting a method payment when creating an apple ID account. HELP!!!

    Did you follow, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from when creating the account ? I've just tried those instructions and got the 'none' option on a new account
    You could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review that account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
    If not, and if you don't want to enter credit card details (you should be able to remove them after entering them) then you will need to create a new account, using the instructions on the HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

    You must create the account using an Apple device, a Mac (Lion or greater) or an IOS device (IOS5 or greater). Having done that you will be able to sign in from your Windows machine.
    FYI, iCal is an application that can display calendars from iCloud (and others) it is not a calendar itself, merely a calendar client. In Windows Outlook is the calendar client.
