ICloud Security Breach on PC

Hi. I woke up this morning to sign into my Icloud account and am 100% positive I used the correct password. I had to reset it by answering security questions and was able to reset it. How can I find out if someone hacked my account?
Thank you

Do you have Outlook 2007 or later installed on your computer?

HT202303 Where/how can I contact Apple about a possible iCloud security breach/hack?

I was just sent an odd email from... My own iCloud email account. (Thankfully I literally have never used it; still I'd like to have Apple security investigate.)
I'm not finding a path to contact an appropriate Apple agent. Any ideas?
Thanks!

When people receive emails which appear to come from their own address but they haven't sent they naturally tend to be concerned: however it's most unlikely that anyone has hacked their account, they've just been targeted by one of two common spammers' techniques: both arise because it's all too easy to forge the 'from' address on messages to be something other than the real one.
There are two things that can happen. One is that the sender has forged the 'from' address to be the same as the 'to' address (so other people will see it coming from themselves, not you), presumably in the hope of confusing spam filters. It's harmless, if extremely annoying. Delete it (never ever answer spam or try to unsubscribe from it), and you don't need to be worried about it.
The other problem is that a spammer is forging your address as the 'from' address on a whole batch of messages. The first thing you hear about this is when you start getting bounce messages because the spam has been sent to non-existent addresses and is being bounced to you. There's no point at all in responding to it. It's infuriating but normally stops after a bit as they move on to another forged address.
There isn't really anything you can do about it: closing the account isn't really worth the hassle unless you are totally swamped, because you will have to tell everyone your new address. Apple can't really do any more than they already are about spam.

Apple ID - security breach?

For over a week now I have been attmepting to establish the iCloud account for my new iPhone. However, I continue to run into problems with access. According to the Apple site, there is already an account established with MY email address ([email protected]) I have been able to log in to the account, but it asks for me to verify the ID, and when the email to do so is sent - it doesn't come to my email address.
The account has my last name but another first name. I don't know why someone else would use my email address, only I have access to it. But I want to establish ONE account for me with MY email address. The assistance I have been getting via email from the (wonderful Indian) advisors online has just pushed me around in circles with no results. Can someone please offer advice? How do I get my email address on my Apple ID?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
< Edited by Host >

It sounds like through a typo or cluelessness or what have you that someone else signed up for that Apple ID before you, so it "belongs" to them now.
There would be some things they could not do with it unless they verify a different email address as primary though since obviously they don't have access to your real email account.
But anyone can create any possible Apple ID by making up any possible ID in an email address format, whether or not it is a real email address of theirs, what matters are the verified email addresses within it at appleid.apple.com.
You would need to pick another Apple ID though. It would be a security breach at this point to someone else if you managed to take that Apple ID from the other person regardless of their mistake.

Find my iPhone - security breach?

Dear Apple community,
Here is a Find My iPhone brain teaser. I have an iPhone and if I track it via Find My iPhone it appears in site A, a work place. That is where it should be. However, there are times when the device appears in a second site, site B, which is approximately 3 to 4 direct miles away from site A. When it is located in site B it is not a wide green circle suggesting its whereabouts. It quite accurately locates the phone inside a building which must be 25,000 square feet and set in its own grounds. The phone will appear there for a while and then after a new Find my iPhone search or a after some minutes the phone sometimes goes back to site A. I've observed this happening generally through the hours of 9am to 3pm and on several occasions. You might also like to know that site A and B are both in a city.
Firstly, the phone has never been in site B, ever neither is the route taken to site A any where near site B. Secondly I am tracing its position from another iPhone, iPad and a MacBook Pro that are located over 15 miles away. They all show the same mysterious location issue. The only common factor between site A and site B is that there is a person, a colleague, who works part time in both sites. My concern is that there is some sort of security breach. Can anyone advise?
Looking forward to your replies.
Mike

Hi Mike,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I have seen the same anomolies on occasion. From the following article:
Note: Maps and location information depend on data collection services provided by third parties. These services are subject to change and may not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in inaccurate or incomplete maps or location information.

App store not asking for password, security breach

Earlier today, I was using the app Words with Friends by Zynga, and it crashed. Although I am not able to get the app working again even after uninstalling and reinstalling the app (developer issue) I have noticed that since this app crashed my App Store on my iPhone 4S is not asking me for my Apple password anymore. I have even restarted my iPhone and reset it by holding down the home button and power button until my iPhone restarts. Has this happened to anyone before? I feel like this is a security breach as my App Store is no longer requesting my password for downloading apps.

iTunes is currently having problems in reference to the apps. If you have icloud, then toggle contacts off/on. If not then restore from itune backup

Did you know when you type in your email in google your behance pdf resume shows up? This is a security breach!

I typed my email address in Google and my Behance pdf resume shows up with all my information. Did you all know this? This is a security breach in my opinion.

HI Carol,
Thanks for writing. It looks like you had selected your work experience to be visible to the public, so this is why it was visible online. Now I see that you have your work experience listed as private (other than what you have on your profile), so this should no longer be the case. Let me know if you're still seeing this searh result and what exact google term you searched for it to come up.
Thanks, talk to you soon!

Call Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE and they can get into your account and fix it.

When I close firefox "everything " is cleared! EXCEPT when I open it again and anything i have copied to the clipboard (paste icon) remains lit... I believe this can be a security breach because I clear everything when closing firefox !!

I have my settings to clear everything when I close firefox ver 3.6.13. If I copy something to the clipboard, the Paste icon lights up so I can paste the text... which is normal.
The problem is when I close the browser and everything is suppose to clear (history, etc) the PASTE Icon still lights up for me to paste again.
This can be a security breach because I want everything cleared when closing the browser !!!
The only way I can rid myself of this problem is to restart the computer... which clears the clipboard of the operatinging... which is absolutely normal as well.
I should not have to restart the computer each time.
Try It !!! type text in any box... then paste it by using the PASTE Icon
CLEAR all your history, everything ... then close firefox
Reopen the browser... and the PASTE Icon will light up

I only had a few addons installed, I disabled Zone Alarm toolbar, View Source Chart 3.01. I also had 5 separate java console updates/addons, and I uninstalled all but the latest java console 6.0.21. All I have now is Roboform 6.9.98, Firebug 1.5.4, Java console 6.0.21, Java quick starter 1.0. So far, so good, the problem has not occurred today. I hope this is it, I will be more sure after a few days problem free. Thanks for the info.

Popup with the text "Security Breach" in Safari

My son told me he saw a popup with the text "Security Breach" when visiting a website. He is concerned that his phone may be compromized. He is using Safari, iOS 6.0.1 on a iPhone 4S. The was a n OK button on the popup. He pressed it and the popup disappeared. Is there serious danger here?

This may be caused by a problem with an add-on. Try the procedure in the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.

Security Breach on the Ubuntu Forums

So apparently the ubuntu forums got hacked and someone made out with 2 million usernames, passwords and email adresses- ouch! Their site is currently down. Just posting as an FYI because their advice is to change your password if you have an account there and use it for multiple sites.
Ubuntu Forums is down for maintenance
There has been a security breach on the Ubuntu Forums. The Canonical IS team is working hard as we speak to restore normal operations. This page will be updated regularly with progress reports.
What we know
Unfortunately the attackers have gotten every user's local username, password, and email address from the Ubuntu Forums database.
The passwords are not stored in plain text, they are stored as salted hashes. However, if you were using the same password as your Ubuntu Forums one on another service (such as email), you are strongly encouraged to change the password on the other service ASAP.
Ubuntu One, Launchpad and other Ubuntu/Canonical services are NOT affected by the breach.
Progress report
2013-07-20 2011UTC: Reports of defacement
2013-07-20 2015UTC: Site taken down, this splash page put in place while investigation continues.
If you're using Ubuntu and need technical support please see the following page for support:

Unfortunately md5 hashes even with salt are easily crackable. On the other hand, it's just a forum account and since they alerted people early, anyone foolish enough to use the same password elseware can change the other password on time.
One thing I disliked is that they haven't alerted people by email, at least I haven't got one yet. I got this information from various source, but many people (dormant accounts / less frequent users) are unlikely to know of it.

Mail OS X Security breach...

FYI.
Apparently my Mail program was hacked. I'm no expert on security breaches but the story goes like this...
Our ISP was acting up. I've verified w/4 others in the neighborhood (both Windows and Mac) using the same ISP who were experiencing the same issue. Would load some sites, some just wouldn't load. I've no idea if this is relative or not, but...
The wife couldn't check her email because the Internet wouldn't connect. I looked at it, figured it was down, and went to bed. Next morning EVERY email in all 5 of my emails accounts was gone, except for my wife's account. Per the wife, she checked before she went to bed and all emails were gone in all accounts. She said there was an open window called Tiger Mail that said; If you'd like to continue to receive your email, click here. (Uh oh). She did and her inbox filled right up.
Malware?
I did a full erase/reformat regardless.

See if you might have this malware redirecting DNS queries...

Anyone received fraudulant email from iCloud Security Team?

I got this really basic email from the "iCloud Security Team" asking me to update my account to protect against third-party access. The link (when I mouseover it) shows no Apple in it. I can't find a way to forward this to Apple so they can investigate who is trying to use them for information extraction.

See "What to do with suspicious emails" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4933.

Does anyone know of the security breach on the iphone and what to down load to fix it?

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SECURITY BREACH ON THE IPHONE AND IF YOU DO, WHAT DO YOU DOWN LOAD TO FIX IT?

There is no security breach as such but rather a possibility of one dependant on a number of factors which may or may not be applicable to you and/or your usage.
The recommendation is to update to the latest 7.0.6 update listed above. For iDevices such as the iPhone I would recommend doing this using iTunes rather than OTA. Tends to be more reliable that way.

New Apps User defaults with all User Edition Privileges - Security Breach?

Please check the following Scenario/Issue and please let me know if anyone has a solution for it.
1. In Apps, created following Responsibilities
- Payables Inquiry-Only User
- Projects Inquiry-Only User
2. In Discoverer Admin, Tools->Privileges, assigned following privilege to "Payables Inquiry-Only User"
- User Edition Parent only (unchecked all child privileges such as Create/Edit Query)
3. In Discoverer Admin, Tools->Security, mapped following Responsibilities/Business Areas (BA)
- Resp: Payables Inquiry-Only User BA: AP Payables
- Resp: Projects Inquiry-Only User BA: PA Projects
4. In Apps, created user DISC_INQUIRY_USER, assigned following responsibilities
- Payables Inquiry-Only User
- Projects Inquiry-Only User
5. At this stage, if user connects to User Edition;
- user is able to create new query in BA: AP Payables or BA: PA Projects depending on login Responsibility
- By default Discoverer assigns all User Edition Privileges to new Apps User including Create/Edit Query
Requirement
1. Create new Apps User DISC_INQUIRY_USER, assign it Inquiry-Only Responsbilities
2. Login to User Edition - DISC_INQUIRY_USER: Payables Inquiry-Only User
- User can inquiry Workbooks associated with Resp: Payables Inqiry-Only user
- Should not be able to create new workbooks
3. Login to User Edition - DISC_INQUIRY_USER: Projects Inquiry-Only User
- User can inquiry Workbooks associated with Resp: Projects Inquiry-Only User
- Should not be able to create new workbooks
Issue
There is time-gap between creating Apps User and login to Discoverer Admin to remove user privileges. This is security Breach, is their any way to change get around it.
- Discoverer gives precedence to Responsibility Privileges over User Privileges. Is their any way to change it?
- Is it possible to change default Privileges for new Apps User?
- I am facing this issue in Discoverer 4.1.48, Does discoverer Admin behaves differently in latest Versions?

Nobody helps you except yourself. ;)
So, this query get privileges for user PUBLIC
select eap.ap_id, eap.gp_app_id
from eul5_eul_users eeu,
eul5_access_privs eap
where eeu.eu_username = 'PUBLIC'
and eap.ap_eu_id = eeu.eu_id
and eap.ap_type = 'GP'
In my case
3001     1000
3002     1001
3003     1002
3004     1003
3005     1004
3006     1005
3015     1013
3016     1014
3017     1018
3018     1024
I research а corresponding between gp_app_id (second column) and real name of privilege and get the next list:
1000     Discoverer and Plus Privilege
1001     Create/Edit Query
1002     Item Drill
1003     Drill Out
1004     Grant Workbook
1005     Collect Query Statistics
1006     Administration Privilege
1007     Set Privilege
1008     Create/Edit Business Area
1009     Format Business Area
1010     Create/Edit Summaries
1012     Schedule Workbook
1013     Unknown
1014     Save Workbooks to Database
1015     Manage Scheduled Workbooks
1018     Unknown
1024     Create Link
So, the ID of privilege 'Save Workbooks to Database' is 1014. This privilege exists in table in spite of in Discoverer Administrator this option UNCHECK for user PUBLIC.
This is a REAL BUG!!!
Then I executed query
delete from eul5_access_privs where ap_id = 3016
and after that all became right.
Now please explain me this bug. And I have question - which privileges have IDs 1013 and 1018?
Thank you.
