I believe my phone was hacked

I Have an iPhone 5s that i got from AT&T in May, love it and have never had a issue with it until about an hour ago my mother woke me up panicking because my Facebook had been hacked and was sending threatening messages as well as sexual picture that were not of me nor have I ever seen! Then my twitter and Instagram followed. A few of my apps were deleted and My phone kept freezing and going black earlier today but I figured it was from to many aps up. I highly doubt this is all just Random! I need to fix this problem asap and need to know if it might be a from an app I downloaded or if to much data but this is ridiculous!

Your phone was not hacked unless you jailbroke it or allowed someone access to your phone for a period of time out of your sight.
What most likely happened is you used the same password across several sites.
One of those sites was breached.
Go through the sites you have accounts on and change your password, do not use the same one for each site.

My phone was Hacked by removing my SIM card for no longer than 30 minutes while I was away form my phone and everything I have ever done and even deleted was downloaded. Does anyone know how this is possible?

Everything I have ever done on my iPhone 4 was downloaded and copied. EVERYTHING! ALL deleted Pictures, texts and emails that had ever gone through my phone were retrieved. My phone was hacked and everything taken. I was told there is a SIM card reader that can do this. I don't even know how I could retirenve this imformation when I don't even have a back-up. If anyone has had an experience like this please tell me. I am completely violated.

Ok thanks, Had me worried. Anything I can do to stop them?
Depending on who provides your email service, you may be able to set up a filter or server-side rule and dump them to trash or junk folders. As long as there is some consistency in address domain, header or content you can use as a filter, you may be able to make a general enough rule to catch all or most of them.
Log in to your email account online and see what, if any, options your service provider offers. One of my own domain emails started getting a ton of spam this year but I now have a pretty comprehensive set of rules for it, plus my hosting service's default junk-mail filter, so that about 99% of them no go directly to SPAM.
If using iCloud, you can create filters if you login to iCloud mail via a web browser.

My husband is claiming that his phone was hacked - is this possible?

OVER THE WEEKEND THERE WERE TEXT MESSAGES FROM AN UNKNOWN PERSON TO AND FROM MY HUSBAND. HE CLAIMS HE DOES NOT KNOW THIS PERSON. AT FIRST YOU WOULD CALL THE NUMBER AND IT WOULD JUST RING, THEN THE NEXT DAY THE PHONE WAS TURNED OFF. HIS COMPUTER WAS HACKED INTO A FEW MONTHS AGO. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO TEXT MESSAGE FROM HACKING IN TO YOUR APPLE ID?
SOME INSIGHT WOULD BE APPRECIATED AND MIGHT EVEN SAVE A MARRIAGE.

It's highly unlikely that his phone was hacked, but what is possible is that someone has gotten ahold of his Apple ID and password. These at used to log into iMessage. If someone has the credentials, they could log in on their own device and send/receive messages as him. I suggest that he change the password associated with his Apple ID. If he has more than one Apple ID, as many people do, it's best if he changes all of them to avoid confusion.

How can I tell if my phone was hacked?

My phone was ringing and it showed that "Sophia" was calling. I don't know anyone by that name and was going to decline. The "decline" option was grayed out. I figured I'd let voicemail pick it up, but it never did. I eventually lost patience and answered. Someone was already talking on the other end in a foreign language. I immediately powered down my iphone. Is there some way I can find out if it's been hacked and clean it out without reseting everything?
Thanks!

Call your carrier and ask them to check the IMEI and ICCID numbers to make sure nobody's cloned your phone. If it only happened the one time it might simply be a fluke.

My phone was hacked, Verizon assured me that I would not be responsible for any of the charges. I paid my bill on due date and my phones were suspended 2 days later,mi had to drive 10 miles to a Verizon store for them to call to get them restored.

MY phones were hacked on March 12, I was assured I would not be held responsible for any of the charges. I paid my bill on due date and 2 days later my service was suspended. In had to drive 10 miles to a Verizon store for them to call and get them restored. They offered no explanation but said they had taken care of it, NOT, it is back on my bill and higher. I call and put on hold for 15 mins. I guess they will suspend them again this month. I am so tired of dealing with them with this matter. Feed up!

I do hope you're having a great trip, answermeasap. I can understand your concern with getting an unexpected bill. I have sent you a follow request here in the forum. Please access https://community.verizonwireless.com/actions to accept my request and follow me https://community.verizonwireless.com/people/jenniferh_vzw back so you can send me a private message https://community.verizonwireless.com/docs/DOC-1613 so we can take a look at what caused your current bill and make sure the correct suspend option is in place.
Thank you

My phone was hacked at a wifi hotspot, and my email address logged in the mail centre was compromised.. Could they have installed a keylogger on my phone? Is there anything I have to do to my phone to ensure its safe from this particular attack?

I changed all my passwords, but I'm just wondering if that's all I have to do.. Is there any extra measures you would take? Could they have installed malware on my phone? I will never connect to a wifi hotspot ever again. I'll just use 3G!

I have this really old email account that I haven't used properly in years, it was automatically set to log in the mail centre of this old iPhone I barely use, and was only using because my other phones battery had died, and I was at the park, bored, so I got the old phone out of my bag, I use it as an emergency phone for when my battery dies, but anyway, I logged into the hot spot, then a few days later my old email account had sent out a mass email saying "I am stranded in Thailand, please send money to this account" to my entire contact list, my sister sent me a text notifying me, and I quickly logged on and it said "looks like someone else is using your account" so I got texted a code, entered the code and regained access to my hotmail account, checked the sent folder and there were tons of sent messages..haven't used this account for many months before that, and I never log into public hotspots usually, it was a one off thing I did from that old phone because I thought I had no email account logged in, or any personal information, since I hadn't used it in ages, but I was wrong, as I learnt afterwards! So I'm absolutely certain, without a doubt, that it occurred at the hot spot. I looked it up online and apparently it is quite common, so I'm just wanting to make sure they can't still access my data.

I believe my account was hacked and Skype won't le...

Hello,
I checked my Skype account this morning and noticed a call made from my account an hour before I was even awake to a user I've never heard of, certainly no one who is one of my contacts. When I went to change my password the Skype site would not let me. It permitted me to enter my current password, but then the "New Password" and "Confirm New Password" bars were frozen. Can anyone give me any information about this?
I appreciate it very much.

I believe my phone was just stolen while shopping, I want to use the find my phone option but dont know how to do it from my computer

Can anyone tell me how to locate my phone with the find my phone option?

Login to iCloud.com, from any computer, & try to locate your phone. Be aware, most thieves know to turn an iPhone off & remove the sim card. This defeats Find My Phone. Report the loss to the police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

It appears that my contacts was hacked, is there anything I should do besides changing password?

It appears that my Contacts list was hacked; is there something I should do other than change my password?

I believe it was hacked (at least my gmail account) because several people received an email from my computer supposedly from an in-law asking for money. That in-law would not have had several of the email addresses the message was sent to, therefore it makes me believe that it was hacked somehow.

I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)

"I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
That was all I could put in the initial "box." Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.

After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.
Help ...

Thanks!

Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before

My entire phone got hacked and now I believe there is a cloned phone number who is texting my contacts....very bad things and I don't know what to do....get a new phone? New number?

Within the last few months I have gotten several snap shots of conversations from friends that showed it was my phone number but the conversation was not from me. It was someone using my information but texting frieda, family, and some co workers very obscene things. But the person was using completely juvenile context and I don't do that at all with my texts. The worst part was it began becoming such a huge issue when the cloned number or whatever was texting guys stuff and I wasn't the actual person texting. I got no responses to my phone but I had some very confused friends and even at one point my boyfriend got texts from my number when I was literally sitting next to him and my phone was on the coffee table. Anyone have any ideas on what I need to do. I have reset my phone, deleted everything off of it, reset passwords, I don't use location services but I am still having people getting crude messages. It's to the point now that my very own friends don't talk to me through text or my personal email because they don't know if it is truly me. Please help!

Your phone is not hacked however your sim card probably IS cloned.
YOU need to contact your Mobile Network and local police right NOW !

How do I delete my iCloud off my phone when my email was hacked and I can't figure out the password?

My email was hacked recently and I have been trying to reset it for awhile. Theres no way to delete the account or reset my phone without the password. I also dont remeber what year I put in for my birthday.

Call Apple and ask for Account Security.
