I think my iphone5 was hacked today.

I think my iphone5 was hacked today.  A young guy on the street asked me if I would call his brother and tell him to meet at the jack in the box.  He claimed to have lost his phone.  He gave me a phone number with the local area code and when I called the number , rather than a voice I got a text message which said "fine" and my phone sent a text of "OK" (perhaps it was the other way around) then the call was ended.  The guy said thanks and moved away.  Later when I called the number back a young man answered.  I said "did you send a text to my phone 20 minutes ago?  He hung up immediately and I think the phone number I had called changed in my recent calls directory.  Neither the orginal call nor the orginal text were still on my iphone.    Have I been hacked?  What shoul.d I do from here?  Thanks.

There is no known way for an iPhone to be hacked remotely. Jailbreaking - hacking the phone to allow apps from outside the App Store - requires physical access to the phone.
None of this sounds particularly concerning. You cannot be hacked through a phone call or a text. Your phone also cannot respond to a text on its own, nor will it change numbers in the recent calls list.
If you have jailbroken your phone, of course, then anything is possible, and you should restore the phone to factory settings and never jailbreak it again.

  • TS4036 My iPhone5 was replaced today and when I did a restore I was only able to access a previous backup to the backup that I did yesterday? Hence, I do not have access to some apps such as ebooks and games. Can you help resolve this issue?

    My girlfriend had a similar issue because her new device was not updated to IOS7 when she turned it on, but her backup point was created using IOS7.  Check to be sure the restore point was created and then factory reset the phone after you have updated to 7.

  • I think my mac was hacked into last night using my Terminal application

    Not sure - but I think my mac was hacked into last night when I downloaded the wrong version of handbrake application. I noticed on my screen that my Terminal Application opened and has some "darwin" code in it with my name and a $dollar sign after it. Should I be worried?

    If that is your only symptom, I wouldn't be worried.

  • My Skype Account Was Hacked Today

    Hi
    My Skype Account Was Hacked Today. Skype Out Credit was automatically charged to my account twice for 28.35 EUROS each time. A third attempt was rejected due to my daily limit. Multiple calls were made to African Phone Numbers.
    I had a strong password and have since changed it.
    Can we figure out what happened here?
    Can I get refunded?

  • I think my email was hacked from my iPad how can I check it for viruses

    I think my e mail was hacked from my iPad. How can I check the iPad for viruses?

    Well there are apps for that, but iPads and others are not suseptable to viruses, if they are its very very very small number. So I would suspect that you are fine, but check the app store for an app that would scan for viruses, i use Virusbarrier to scan downloads i get in emails, or links.

  • Help!!! I think my email was hacked and now I can't get into it at all. All of the suggestions didn't help so far. I have double clicked, rebooted, and deleted the account. Is there a way that I can have a reset password to an alternate email?

    Help, my email was hacked, now I can't get in at all. Can I reset the password through an alternate email?

    You do realize that there are many, many email providers and without knowing which one you are talking about, there is no way to answer your question?
    Which then leads to this ..... Have you contacted your email provider about this? That's probably the best place to start. See what they recommend.

  • TS3376 Can I find out where my iphone was located from? I think my account was hacked and my position was located..

    But that might allow a thief (who may now have seen your diary) to locate your place of residence.

  • I think my account was hacked.

    When i loged on i saw that this one person was added and i have no memory of adding this person.
    I think that this person may have gotten my skype info and tried to add himself.
    I would like to know when my account was active within the last 12 hours.
    It said i sent the request but i know for a fact that i didn't send this person any requests.

    just be sure, run a full antivirus scan using a fully updated antivirus software, then change your password. then for clarifications, and to report the user send an email to [email protected]

  • I think my Ipad was hacked.

    Last night I plugged in my Ipad to charge.  When I unplugged it this morning and opened the browser(Safari) there were several pages open that were written in Chinese and one page that was on a website for a Honda Accord in English. When I went to search in the browser the keyboard had been split in two, which is not the way I normally use it.  I looked at the history and it showed that about 20 different sites (in Chinese) had been visited.  Some of these sites were for someones twitter page.  Any ideas on what happened.  I have WIfi at the house.

    Just turn off the i pad and turn it back on.  I am sure it is ads from safari.  No hack

  • I think my page was hacked i uninstalled reinstalled same prob got trojans and virus from opening now uninstalled but i still want u

    when I opened Firefox last week a different page came up from homepage couldn't remove new homepage or get mine back (Google) anti virus picked up 2 Trojans I uninstalled and then reinstalled after scan quarantined items same thing happened but got 3 Trojans and one virus could not get normal search engine page (yahoo7) couldn't get any page for that matter so I uninstalled again now I have to use IE which I do not like but am afraid to reinstall Mozilla in case same thing happens

    hello terbow181, please try these steps after you reinstall firefox:
    # [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    # afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    # finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
