I would like to know if my phone has been hacked in any sort of way.

I found two contacts of people in my contact book who I never added into it. I then got a new phone, but a few days later the same two contacts reappeared. Both of the times that I have found them on my phone the numbers have included contact photos. Also my data use has spiked through the charts this past month so I've become a little more suspicious. When I brought the contact thing up to the guys at my closest phone store they said they never heard of such a thing so I became more worried. If anyone knows or has any answers please let me know! It would be much appreciated!!

Someone would have to have possesion of your iphone for a period of time in order to hack it.
Has this happened?

  • I have an iphone 4 softbank carrier and would like to know if you have to unlock to use any carrier

    I have an iphone 4 softbank carrier and would like to know if you have to unlock to use any carrier

    Softbank does NOT offer unlocking.  You cannot ever use that phone on another network.  You will need to purchase a different phone if you wish to use another carrier.

  • Hi, i would like to know if my mac has a virus

    hi, i would like to know if my mac has a virus, ´cause in sometimes it works weird

    Ralph is right (of course) about no virus.
    What you are describing seems to be what might happen if all of the system's resources* are gobbled up.
    *When I say "resources" - I mean memory (real and virtual), caching needs, CPU usage etc.
    The web pages you describe have nothing to do with your Mac having been "infected", per se, but that kind of "Pop Over" "Pop Under" malicious JavaScript can certainly gpbble up resources. When you get the Web being mean to you, and have a lot of other APPs open too, you could max out your machine, especially if it is older like mine.
    To help other members answer your question, give as many details as you can.
    Include your Mac Model name and specs such as processor speed, memory, and storage capacity. Please do not include your Serial Number, IMEI, MEID, or other personal information.
    Provide the version numbers of your operating system and relevant applications, for example "OS 10.4.11" , "Quicktime Player 7.6.4",  "Safari 4.1.3"and any other apps you might have open when the misbehavior occurs.
    Describe the problem in detail, and include step-by-step your actions that lead up to °each misbehavior.You seem to be describing at least TWO different bad behaviors
    List any troubleshooting steps you've already tried, or temporary fixes you've discovered.

  • I want to buy a 5s and i have a iphone 4, i would like to know if my phone have some value in change

    Hi my name is Julia, and I want to buy a iphone 5s and i have a iphone 4, I would like to know if when i'll go to buy the 5s my phone will have some value in the change
    thanks

    In the U.S., at least, the carriers have trade in programs. There are also lots of third party sites such as Gazelle.com that will give you money for old electronics. You should be able to get a quote from one of them.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I know If my computer has been hacked?

    I  think my Mac just got hacked into. I was working on a doc. that had personnel information- names. Phone #s and my home street address. my mac book pro froze up and when it unfroze, all of the names, phone#s and my address changed to ?/-\|# After I stared at the screen w disbelief for less than 1 sec. Word closed it down. After 2 min. Word brought the 2 word doc. I was working on back onto the screen. I looked at the personnel info, and saw the names, phone numbers and my street address in numbers and words. It looked like as if nobody touched my Mac. What should I do? I need help badly. If my computer has been hacked, the information they took, can they steal identity, credit card #s with just phone #s and first&last names besides my street address. I havent touched my computer since thus happened. I'm my iPhone. Should I turn off my computer? Also ididnt save the doc. I was working on. a box came up and said "this file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK and give the document a new namein the Save dialog box( AutoRecovery save of document1)". What should I do? I'm not making this up. I watched everything without realizing what happened. Should I have turned my computer off while it was in the middle of the proscess? Help! Help!

    You have not been hacked.  Something went wrong with Word and it crashed, and something must have reopened Word.  (The system will usually ask if you want to reopen a crashed app...  did you see such a message?)  Word must have simply reopened the docs you had open when it crashed.
    It's actually quite difficult to hack a Mac, and pretty much requires you to help out by opening it up for potential access by hackers.

  • HT5622 my friend believes her phone has been hacked as her ex partner has read all her messages from people for the last week how is this possible?

    my friend has an iphone 4 and believes her messages on her phone have been hacked as and ex boyfriend has contacted her telling her who she has spoken to and read the message she has for the past week, is this possible and how can she stop this?
    Thanks

    You're welcome.
    Ask her if they shared an Apple ID to download iTunes Store content such as apps and music?
    If not, he knows the password for her Apple ID email address.
    She can create a new Apple ID with this link.
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleIdForIK B?localang=en_US&path=
    She needs to create a new email address first as well.
    Tell her not to use any security questions that her ex knows or may know.
    After she has created a new Apple ID, on her iPhone go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID.
    Select the Apple ID and at the menu window that appears, select Sign Out.
    She signs back in at the same location with her new Apple ID to register her iPhone phone number with her new Apple ID and this will prevent her ex from having access to all iMessages that she sends and receives.

  • Hi, I'd like to know how SAP CRM has been 'tailored' for the High Education sector?  Is it basically the same product than the existing CRM or a totally different syste,?  Where has it been implemented?  Is there an existing document/presentation about it

    Hi, I'd like to know if the SAP CRM solution for High Ed is the same product thant the existing CRM solution?  Or has it been 'tailored' for High Ed? If so, how?  Is there existing documentation/presentation about it?  Where has it been implemented?
    Thanks!

    Ged,
    whilst generally I agree with you a question (or two) for clarification so we can be sure we're not comparing apples with oranges
    I'm not familiar with O2's product lineup but given you're on Annex M is that a business package?
    Are you on an Infinity residential or business package?
    On the subject of the offshore support teams my experience from the other sife of the fence is that many, many of them are very technically orientated. The problem is that the ISPs they work for don't give them access to many of the tools that are needed (they need to raise internal requests to even get line checks done in some cases) and also they are very heavily scripted & monitored in what they do/say on a call.
    Sounds like O2 are operating as a contact centre rather than as a call centre which is much more preferable from the customers point of view.
    DISCLAIMER: although I work in the industry I do not work for BT and any opinions given are purely my own.

    PLEASE HELP - phone dies in two hours - cant turn off - switches screens - yes I've up dated software- leave kn charger over night and have 60% battery
    I'm willing to send all info to anyone who will provide some type of reasonable answer for me other than back it up wipe it clean and restart BC- I live with the person I believe did It and really that's not going to help as I already have - would like more definitive info -

    Will do that tomorrow - but the problem is- he has had access to my iCloud since I got an iPhone - we live together - have for a long time he set it up for me - I never realized there was a possibility he could possibly hack my phone entirely through that- and im still not sure - as answers here are vague- I don't have a problem with him viewing any info there- I never set up much more than contacts and find my iPhone which - who cares if he looks where I am - I don't lie about that- but until I started having multiple persistent problems with my phone - and finding many locked files on his Mac and Cydia on his iPad -( after hours of digging) -  I never had a clue to think maybe he hacked my phone - I started really researching the concept and found vuze BitTorrent VMware strange wifi numbers - different locations on Mac - apple script and text edit files - pdf files that made no sense- stuffit - frankly i dont know what any o it really means- the problem is - I don't think going to apple tomorrow having them fix it - and not knowing if the problem is here at home is going to help this situation -if he is hacking / remote using - my phone on the level I think he has - I clearly can't figure it out with the knowledge I have in regards to this software - never knew he was into it - and frankly I think If its true its pretty easy for him to do again as we share everything here - can apple look at the information I have and really answer this question or do I need to find someone who will be able to understand the data ( im sure apple will -but who wants their product hack able) and all I've heard is its impossible to hack an apple phone with out jail breaking it - which from what I've looked at the last month I'm not sure about that if you share all your devices constantly.  I would just like a definitive yes or no - and before I wipe it clean - it's kind of a serious thing.

  • My phone has been hacked - opening texts, editing items and typing URLs

    Something crazy is going on with my iphone. So far today it has done all of the following when it has been sat on a table, with nothing near it, and nothing touching it:
    - opening text messages and scrolling through them
    - entering my contacts and editing (deleting items and selecting new images)
    - entering my photo gallery and selecting images
    - opening search
    - opening safari and connecting to the internet
    - opening notes and copying and pasting items
    - opening call history and calling people from my 'last dialled'
    earlier when i was logged into twitter it sent to tweets - i lost all control of the screen. The first said 'En' and the second said 'E' (not anything dramatic) - but i had no control of it and had to turn it off and restart.
    I reset all the factory settings but it's made no difference. I've since removed the sim card and turned the phone off - but i don't know if this is enough.
    In addition to this - it was plugged into my mac syncing yesterday. Today when I turned my mac on, the green light next to the webcam will not go off - should I be worried about this?
    Any advice or help is gratefully received!

    When did you drop it (possibly into water)? Sounds like the digitizer is randomly generating taps/presses/swipes. Time to visit the Genius Bar and find out what the replacement is going to cost.

  • My phone has been hacked

    I own an N97 and I use Opera to browse the web.I was atempting to acccess a website last night and it was taking a long time to connect.When it did connect I saw a Saudi flah and the message "You have been hacked by....."
    What can I do to secure my phone?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Haven't heard about this before. It is possible that what you saw was one of these web pop ups that makes you think you have been hacked in order to get you to download some meaningless and expensive "solution". This is quite common on desktop PCs.
    First thing to check is if you have any applications installed that you don't recognise by looking Application Manager. If you unsure then post them here and other N97 users can check if they recognise them as genuine.

  • I would like to know if anyone in has experienced problems with Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery and if I have ultimately fallen for a scam?

    I had accidentally deleted important files from my hard drive and emptied them from my trash can on my MacBook Pro. I sought a variety of data recvery packages but none were really successful apart from one - the now infamous Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery Version 6.0. Upon using what I was led to believe was a trial version, the files I was looking for could in fact be found. However, in order to recover them I had to purchase a £94.80 licence. In deperatation I chose to do this. Upon attempting to recover the files, I went to check the location I saved them into and low and behold there was a folfer called a 'Root' Folder which was completely EMPTY.
    Stellar Phoenix have done little except take the money and run
    I would greatly appreciate it if you alert me to free data recovery options as I dont want to be scammed by unreliable apple 3rd party providers.

    It sounds like that your drive is corrupted. You should try to format it for fixing this problem.
    But, to recover your original data, you are supposed to run a hard disk recovery software at first and format this disk afterwards for saving the physical drive. This free one can retrieve your data completely as it helps my friend restore all his data. Go get it there: http://goo.gl/wQW0Ur
    Add some tips: You should not rewrite your wanted data with any new file in case of data loss.
    You should back up your important data all the time on a different drive in the future.
    Hope it works.
