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?

Have a read from the New York Times:

Account has been hacked and credit card charged (the long awaited sequel!)

So I started contacting Skype on Twitter and they very nicely asked me if I had offered up my information to a 'Recover your account' form. Which I hadn't, actually as I wasn't able to find it anywhere on this website. I acknowledge I may not notice everything, but I still can't actually find it anywhere, except through the link I was given on Twitter. Anyway, the best ones are usually not that easy to find, so I gathered it'd be fun. Here's the link to that: https://support.skype.com/en/account-recovery?cm_mmc=SMTW_7001B1-Skype%20-%20Support&linkId=15618030 Anyway, I gave my information to the form and (finally) I got an email response from Skype (don't get too excited, it was an automated email) saying that they love the information I've given and would like to date it on a regular basis, but please could I just go and fill in another form? That's this form: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/skype?language=en&locale=en-us&oaspworkflow=start_1.0.0.0&needslogin=false&wfname=skype&supportoption=email&SupportTopic_L1=32090809&SupportTopic_L2=32090818&ccsid=****************24 Which I've already filled in twice and to be honest, my information is a little bit tired of it as it never returns any calls. But after all, my information is a bit lonely, so I thought I'd try again because Skype liked the information so much the first time. Perhaps my information would get a bit of action if I filled it in again? I'm nice to my information like that. But now Skype doesn't want my information and tells me that 'Sorry, the page you requested is not available.' I think that's a bit uncool, actually because I got my information all dressed up and excited to have a great time with Skype but now my information is sitting alone and abandoned in a corner, all sad and lonely while Skype is out having fun with the money taken from my credit card, probably spending it with the information given by the guy who hacked my account. That's just not very nice and while filling my information into the form, I realised that the guy who hacked my account would be able to give Skype nearly all of that information too, as he has access to my account while I do not. Frankly, it's tough being my information, because it seems anyone can please Skype just as well as it can and after about seven years together, you'd think Skype would be a little nicer about it.

Well, well, well! It seems Skype may after all have a little bit of a soft spot for my information! I thought it was a bit sad to see it sitting there in the corner with nowhere to go, so decided to have one more go at the second of the forms mentioned above, so Information and I popped over to that page and seriously, my information was all over it, being so attentive to Skype's needs, you wouldn't believe it. I was really proud of Information there, humming a little 'Nobody dooooes is betterrrrr' to myself. So Information was accepted in and Skype was all 'ooo' and 'ahh' about it, and then told Information to hop along now and that Skype will get back to us in another 72 hours, but that before that, Skype would send a sneaky (perhaps even flirty!) little email that will be waiting for us in the inbox when we check. So on the plus side, now we have another Support Request Number (3 times a charm! ), but sadly no cheaky (perhaps even flirty!) email in the inbox. I can't help feeling that there's a chance that Skype is simply stringing Information along for Skype's own ends and needs and perhaps Skype doesn't like Information quite as well as Skype says? Frankly, I think Skype has sent its sneaky (perhaps even flirty!) email to the guy who hacked my account instead of sending it to Information and me. I think Skype may be a bit loose.

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

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!

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 5th generation ipod acts like it is going to sync and then "ejects" itself before even 1 song can be synced. It then doesnt recognize that it has been ejected and keeps the"do not disconnect" icon on the screen even after unplugging. What do I do? it also makes a lot of noise while connected to the computer.

Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

Hi, My ipad has been stolen and I set up the erase data function in i cloud "find my device". I then changed my mind and wanted to change this to locate my device rather. When I deleted the "erase" option it removed my ipad from the find my device list. Can I restore it back onto the list?
