How do I get my gmail account unlocked, it has been hacked and even security questions changed. I can't access the account to change the password.

Someone used one of my two gmail accounts to send emails to both of my gmail accounts and one of my yahoo accounts - using all my contacts on the three accounts - saying I was in Scotland and needed money, please send it. I have changed the password on my other gmail and the yahoo accounts but the email account used to send that message to all my contacts I can no longer access, appear to be locked out. Even the security question is different than the ones I established. A friend did respond, was emailed back that I as at the Raddison Hotel in Edinborough and he called that hotel to be told I was not registered there. So - what do I do now? I've been told by yahoo that is it a browser problem. I have not heard back from google. Help!

I gave in and am now using IMAP but I still find the behaviour a bit wierd...

Have you contacted your card issuer to cancel that card and changed your iTunes account password ? You can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

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.

If you log into your iTunes account you should be able to de-authorise all (which you can only do once every 12 months) - you can then re-authorise the computers that you still have/need : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

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!

How do you no if you have a virus or been hacked and how do you get rid of it

A couple of time now I have found my found on randon web pages or message is it possible i have been hacked or got a virus

Finding a strange site open in Safari isn't a conclusive sign that someone has hacked your iCloud account. You could simply be seeing redirects or "pop-ups" from some page you had loaded. This could easily cause tabs that you didn't realize were there to be noticed later.
Similarly, finding that you have received strange messages in the Messages app isn't suspicious. That just means someone is text-spamming you. You can block the individual doing this if you're running iOS 7.
However, if you are finding that your phone appears to be sending messages that you haven't sent, and has opened pages when all tabs in Safari were closed, then the iCloud account has been hacked.
If your iCloud account is also your Apple ID, and you think you have been hacked, you will need to immediately log in to appleid.apple.com and change your Apple ID password. While you are there, you should also enable two-factor authentication on your Apple ID, to prevent hackers from taking control of it, and potentially locking you out of your iOS devices permanently.

My account has been hacked, and I have been charge...

I have just found out my old skype account has been hacked within the last few days. The hackers added two pakistan subscriptions and my debit card attached to my account was charged $49.99 and $29.99. I immediately cancelled the subscriptions and changed my password. What else should I do, and how do I get my debit card charges reversed? Please help. This is very frustrating. Thank you.

MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HACKED AND I CANT GET INTO SKY...

Hi, I am desperate! Someone has hacked and taken over my skype account! I had to create a new account just to make this post! I can't get into my other account at all as he has changed it to his details and email address, so I can't just login and change the password. Can anyone please shed any light on how I can stop him and take back control of my account asap. he is hacking into all my contacts and asking for money and probably getting their username and passwords too. i have sent in a ticket but that could take forever. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Skype continues to support its products and services until integration is complete with Microsoft. Please continue to work directly with Skype.
There isn't a telephone # to contact Skype.
I suggest you, send an email directly to Skype and explain your problem in detail and they will be able to sort it.

I have tried everything that has been suggested and even deleted and downloaded Firefox again and it will not open. Any ideas on how to get it to open?

I have been trying to get Firefox to open up and everytime I double click on the icon nothing happens. I have gone to the task manager and deleted it from the process list and tried again and still will not open. I have even tried deleting the program and downloading it again and it still will not open.

What was the full wording of the error message? Usually there is also a number or additional information.

Dear telwow,
Apple did not do anything to solve this problem, they said I shoud apply to ITunes which I did. However, ITunes in Belgium does not even have a customer friendly call center, and they reply with standard info if you apply by e-mail which have no relevance to my problem. As I do not have hours to spend on the phone, I tasked my secretary to call Itunes many times. In the end, she found someone to look into the matter which took months.
Simultaneously, I applied to VISA through my bank for fraud investigation. I had to cancel my credit card. In the end, VISA paid my money back and they said they will deal with ITunes. I received a new credit crad from VISA with a new number. I tried to use this new card in the ITunes but ITunes did not accept my card because in their system my name has been registered as if I have commited the fraud! This was again outrageus! I have complained about this to both Belgium and the USA Apple/ITunes, but no satisfactory answer was given. I am now using my wife's credit card to buy smth I want in ITunes. But because of my very unpleasant experience I am not buying much on ITunes store. I am also considering to quit Apple all together. This is unfortunate because I have been an apple fan until I had this experience.
Many thanks for sharing your problem.

You will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset (they should also be able to re-enable your account) : Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
When they've been reset you can then use the steps on this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
