I think my account has been hijacked!

I just received 41 "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" emails in the last 2 minutes.
Changed my password but of course .Mac support stops answering the phones at 6:00PM.
Any ideas?

It's likely a friend of yours has a virus which is pulling addresses out of their address book, and using them as the reply-to address in the attempt to spread itself. There is nothing you can really do except contact your PC using friends, and tell them to check for viruses with updated definitions.
Sure is annoying, but not much you can do to prevent it.

    I've already submitted my problem to PayPal and they are investigating it. I need to get this reversed and my money back. It's hard enough saving for formula without some ******* buying **** with my information.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    It was a genuine email from iTunes, not a phishing attempt trying to get your account and payment details ?

  • I think my phone has been hijacked - what can I do

    I could not turn on my phone with finger print kept trying - moved to keying in itune password until it maxed out - now phone is disabled - what is next step??

    Unless the device has been jailbroken, then it cannot be hijacked. It just sounds like it had trouble reading your fingerprint. However, now that the device is disabled, you will have to follow the directions in this support document to restore the device.

  • I have a catch 22 situation. My Apple ID is set up but I forgot my password when I ask for an email link it never arrives. I think my account has been hacked, my security questions, the answers say they are wrong. I want to delete it, can't without passwo

    Continued..my security answers have been changed, I think ID hacked, email and sec answers changed. How do I delete it? By the way it is not this ID, I had to set up a new one to use this site....

    Did he have find my iPhone enabled under that iCloud account?  If so, add the account back to his phone.  Then in the iCloud account settings, disable find my iPhone first (you will be prompted for your password), then remove the account.
    Now you can create or add a new iCloud account to it using his own AppleID.
    Alternatively, you could log in to your www.icloud.com account in a web browser.  Using the find my iPhone app there, remove his iPhone from your list of associated devices (he will have to power his iPhone off for you to do that).
    After his iPhone is set up for his own iCloud account, on your iPhone, go to
    settings->iCoud->Storage & Backup->Manage Storage and delete his iPhone's backup file to make more room on your own iCloud storage account.

    HI,
    It's just spam but there is something you can do.
    When you get mail such as this, from your Mac Mail Menu Bar click Message / Bounce.
    The sender will receive a notification that your e-mail address was invalid.

  • My account has been hijacked Help please

    Hi Skype,
    I am an extremely fustrated user. Yesterday, my account was hijack from someone using a .ru email address. When I attempted to contact skype for help, I have filled out the identify verification form 4 TIMES! and the end result per Diane R is that the information that I provided is still not sufficient to identify my identity.
    This is absolutely not acceptable, I have provided so much information over 4 times, including snapshots of emails that I received from Skype notifying me of the change in email address, skype credit which was deposited into my account using iTunes, and an original email from skype welcoming me to skype.
    I can bring in so many users who can vouch that I owed that account etc. What do I need to do to speak to someone who can help me rather than just fustrate the heck out of the user?

    So was mine.  They were trying to set up a recurring payment of some sort...  I got a notice on my phone that my password had been changed...  then charges trying to be made...  then suspicious activity and my account was frozen.  I was able to change my psswrd, and the charges did not go through, because thankfully I have no credit cards associated with Skype.

  • I think my account has been hacked

    I opened Skype on my android phone, it open as normal, logged me in, I saw who was online, then about 5 seconds later it automatically logged itself out.  The app didn't crash or anything, it just returned to the login screen.
    So I proceeded to log in with my details and it said that they weren't recognised. I'm 100% confident I entered them correctly.
    So I decided to log in on my Windows 7 PC in case it was a problem with the android app.  It logged me in automatically, I saw my contacts online, they saw me online, then boom... I was back at the log in screen! It had logged me out again! So I entered my details as usual and it said that it didn't recognise them.
    I can't think of any other reason for this than someone hacked my accout, changed my password and changed my email address so I couldn't reset the password.  Is there anyway I can reclaim my account?

  • Think my account has been Hacked

    I just went to reset my password and there were several accounts associated with my email. Non of which were actualy mine. How is this possible?

    Hi, Jermerqua,
    What NormanM was pointing you to is the FAQ article explaining how to contact Skype Customer Service, which is what you need to do in order to un-link these accounts from your e-mail address.
    In a lot more words:  here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Skype is aware of continuing problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and - important! - choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • HELP! iTunes account has been disabled? Can't find help

    Tonight, I tried to buy a single track from the itunes store and I got this message:
    "You cannot buy because your account has been disabled.
    to continue using your account it must be enabled by the itunes store customer service. you can contact customer service at..."
    I don't understand what's going on? I bought music this morning using an itunes card from target and now all of a sudden my entire account is disabled??? I have like $800 bucks in music I've purchased from the itunes store and I don't want to lose it! I sent an email to Apple's customer service address and I've yet to receive a reply.
    Is this some sort of bug in the system??

    I too am having problems.
    1 - I can't listen to Purchased music
    2 - when I synched the iPod None of the purchased music is working - including on the playlists
    3 - I cannot find Customer Support info - in fact I think this is a disgrace - you waste time going around in circles - this is hidden info (more below)
    4 - yesterday I sucessfully Bought some tracks (can you believe that!) but I can't listen to ANY of my other purchased stuff.
    5 - I am being asked repeatedly to Authorise my computer - which I do and it says the computer IS authorised - then I get asked again for my details.
    6 - contacted IM support 3 days ago (I have no idea how I did this) and tried fixing the problem live with a technician - no good. I cannot find this service since.
    Therefore - I can't get tech help.
    I think Apple have big problems they need to sort out - and should have done so years ago. This is really appalling & it should be the case that people should be financially compensated for the hassle and difficulty caused. The excuse of conflicts with other software etc is Not tenable.
    If there was a choice out there I'd be using it.

    I have purchased a magazine through Zinio from the app store and my account has been charged, however, there is no magazine in my library and the new edition has been published

    Oh gosh, I saw the same issue. Because i was messing around with something earlier. I don't know why Apple took off the option of "none" as a payment since not everyone puts in a credit card and people use iTunes gift cards. I think they just made that changed recently. Anyways, Ive just found out about this new issue also, so i don't know what you could do... maybe call apple support?

  • What do I do if I think my Iphone has been hacked?

    I think my iphone has been hacked ... how can I know for sure... I believe they may have gotten my contacts.... who knows what else?

    I was also hacked this week on my 4S.  As improbable as everyone at Apple may say, it did happen.  I am pretty good with technology.  My kids had my iPhone 7 years old and they went to a website that without my knowing, allowed so done to take control of my device.  I had the phone on charging and connected via wifi.  I heard in the middle of the night someone talking and then a fax machine but thought I was dreaming. I turned over and went back to sleep not looking at my phone. 
    Next morning I wake up and the screen is on maps?  I panicked and realized a bunch of SMS txts and also some emails went out. In checking my call log, bingo... A bunch of calls over a 4 hour period.  I started to delete anything suspect but really didn't know what to do. I then called all my banks and credit card accounts to out them on high alert.
    I called apple and they begin to say that this is a software glitch, clearly they were not listening.  I went to the apple store and spoke with a supposed genius who suggested the same thing.  Finally, I explained it to a level 2 person and they suggested wiping the phone clean by resetting it and reinstalling everything fresh.  I still have no way of knowing what was accessed or downloaded and more scary, neither does apple.
    When I asked if there was an app, they couldn't suggest anything saying that by default the iPhone is secure and encrypted yet here I am with a remote accessed situation on my hands.
    Any ideas... Anyone?
