Is it possible to get hacked by pressing on a link in a email that i got and am pretty sure was a hacker?

got an email from what looked like it was pay pal telling me that my payment to such and such has gone thru only prob was i didn't buy anything .. so i clicked on the item description to see what it was thinking maybe my husband got something... turns out he hasn't so i checked my pay pal a/c which seems to be fine .. no such invoice exists... so my question is ... did i open myself to a hacker by opening the link ??? how can i check my iMac ??
thanks

Your iMac is pretty safe from Apple's Security as the experts here will tell you. However it is possible to get malware etc. but very unlikely. I have got similar e-mails from pay pal, UPS, Credit cards ( even got one from ez-paid tolls) etc. Be sure to never give them any personal information. Don't click on any attachment or open the emails for 100% security from these so call legal outfits. Always go direct to pay pal or others web site and sign in to check your account. These things are usually phishing for personal info and will not affect your iMac. If you had a Windows Machine you may very well get something from virus to malware. Of course we could all have troubles from the this stuff but your iMac is very safe. I have never gotten anything.

  • Is it possible to get 15 minute appointment times on the calender without them all bunching up and being unable to follow?

    Is it possible to get 15 minute appointment times on the calender without them all bunching up and being unable to follow?
    I am wanting to replace all my PC's with Macs, ipads and iphones for my business.
    I love the whole system but as a small Physio business, I need to be able to add 15min & 20min appointments to the callendar and share with my colleagues.
    The problem I have is that they just bunch up and overlap and it becomes impossible to follow. There is no way of telling if you have any appointment spaces as it no longer shows the gaps. Also, are you able to set a default time for the appointments as it currently defaults to 1 hour (small pain in the arse but thought i'd ask while i'm here)
    If there is a way to do this or if there is any other apps out there, I'm sure it would become a very useful business tool and many more small businesses would invest in Apple systems, I've talked it through with friends with other businesses and they agree.
    Anybody have any solutions, or do Apple fancy making some simple upgrades to the software?
    Thanks

    Yep, that's basically what I'm trying to to detect JJ; which layers overlap the blue area would be the ideal result.  Which objects overlap the blue layer's bounds is an ok method, but not 100% accurate (as demonstrated by your example).  The bounds method does narrow down what layers I need to check it against, but it still returns 2 layers I need to then take extra time to check against for the actual overlap, which wouldn't be necessary if we can get the check more detailed.
    Since a more detailed way of getting the overlaps is still being looked into, I'm thinking of using EnsilZah's and/or c.pfaffenbichler's suggestions in tandem with some code they helped me with previously (here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6256651#6256651 ) to get the actual overlaps by process of elimination on a narrowed return result using current suggestions; at least until a better/more efficient solution comes along.  I am still open to other ideas, on this topic, though.

  • Hi, I recently received an email which I believed to be from my bank but it turns out it was from someone trying to hack my bank account. I accessed the email on my phone and I wanted to know if I need to restore my iphone back to default settings?

    Hi, I recently received an email which I believed to be from my bank but it turns out it was from someone trying to hack my bank account. I accessed the email on my phone and I wanted to know if I need to restore my iphone back to default settings? I am a bit worried about losing everything on my phone if I do this but at the same time I don't want them to get any other information. Any ideas?

    Did you log in with your bank account via the link included with this email?
    If not, you have nothing to worry about.
    Accessing or viewing the email alone can't provide your bank account info or the log in for your bank account.

  • I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

    I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

    Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this?  I fear this is a really stupid question!
    My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails.  But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments.  To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work.  If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level?  or both?   
    Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there  a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

  • TS3899 I am trying to pull up an old email that I received and placed in the trash.  When I press "load more messages," the older messages do not pop up.  What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to pull up an old email that I received and placed in the trash.  When I press "load more messages," no additional trash eMails pop up.  What am I doing wrong?

    You're not looking in your trash can.  And if you've emptied your trash can, the message is gone.
    To open your trash, you have inboxes on the top, and accounts below.  Tap the mail from the accounts.  That's where your trash can is.  Tap it.  If the mail is not permanently deleted it will be in the trash.

  • In OS 10.7.5, how do I get a listing of folders similar to the "directory tree" that I used to have when I was suffering through MS-DOS?

    In OS 10.7.5, how do I get a listing of folders similar to the "directory tree" that I used to have when I was suffering through MS-DOS?

    I'm not quite sure what it is you are looking for, but there are a three different ways to view the files and folder in a directory in Finder - Icon view, List view, or Column view - or you can use Terminal and use the various options for the ls UNIX command for listing a directory. For those options, see:

  • Is it possible to send the Pdf format of WebI linking report through email?

    Hi All,
    I have created linking between 2 WebI reports through OpenDocument. I can schedule the parent report and send it to User Email as PDF format, But when the user click the link in parent report its not opening the PDF format of child report after passing the parameter from Parent report. It throws following error.
    Is it possible to send the linked reports(without breaking the functionality of passing the parameter to Child report) to user who don't have access to BO environment? Please help me out.
    User needs to get the Parent PDF report in email, once they click the link it should pass the parameter to child report and the corresponding child report should open in PDF format. (In Infoview "View Mode" i can able to achieve this, how about in Email?).
    Thanks and Regards,
    Tharini Prabhu

    So to achieve my requirement, according to my understanding I have to do the following steps.
    Please correct me if I am wrong.
    1.     Without BO credentials the user can’t able to access the Link and child report created using OpenDoc.
    2. To overcome this I have to create one reserved userid through Admin and assign to all set of Users who will use the Reports.
    3. Have to use Single Sign on function through SDK to avoid the popping window for entering credentials right ?
    I can’t able to find the Sap Note 1326701 in http://www.sapossnotes.com/
    Could you please provide me the details how to implement that?

  • How do i get back to a message after I access a link in the email that takes me to the web without having to go back to the main screen

    How do I get back to my email after I have looked at a message and then clicked on the link in the email and was taken to the web to do something.  I want to be able to get back to my email, but so far I have to go back to the home screen and then into email again.
    Thanks

    The only alternative to what you ask and what sberman tells you is to double tap the home button when you are done with the web and select the mail app from the multi-tasking bar. That will bring you right back to the mail message.

  • Mi iPad email is sending emails that I have not generated. I have been hacked on my laptop and think my iPad is infected. What can be done to remove any problems.

    Mi iPad sending unsolicited emails to contacts each day. My laptop was infected. I changed all of my passwords but these messages are still going out one per day. I think my iPad has been hacked. What can I do to repair and clear infection.

    Assuming you have not jailbroken your iPad, it is not your iPad that is sending the emails.
    Your email account well may be, from the web mail or someone accessing your email elsewhere, but these emails do not originate from your iPad.
    Change the password to your email account again to something very secure and update it on every device/computer you use to access your email. Activate any extra security features your email provider offers such as two-factor authentication.

  • Is it possible to get explicit parameterized URL by deep linking?

    Dear All
    i am working on ADF BC and jheadstart. in my app, i want to produce explicit paramterized URL for use to get access to particular record in the database table. i.e. if .../faces/pages/Library.jspx is appended with ?id=5 and put in a browser, user will get the page that shows the record where id=5.
    i studied the 'deep linking' and found out it worked for a link in a page but no explicit URL can be found. can someone point out a solution for me? thanks!
    regards
    Jerry

    Hi Jerry,
    You could change the Enable Deep Linking Expression to also use a request parameter instead of looking at the JSF navigation outcome. You could then deeplink to a page using a url like.../faces/pages/Library.jspx?deepLink=true&id=5.
    For an example see the JHeadstart blog post Fusion Cooking at http://blogs.oracle.com/jheadstart/2007/03/07#a143.
    kind regards,

  • I beleive your software has been compromized - I was hacked after downloading firefox optimized for yahoo. Does that even exist? if so it has been hacked.

    Yesterday I downloaded a 'firefox optimized for yahoo' app. Then last night my yahoo email was hacked and all emails and contacts deleted. I believe the app I downloaded may have been false? or your yahoo optimization was hacked.

    Where did you get that "app" from?
    Or did you purposely install the Yahoo optimized version of Firefox '''5.0''', which is almost 2 years old? And '''not''' made by Mozilla!
    The best place to get Firefox is from Mozilla directly, not from a 3rd party website which may have done "who knows what" as far as "tweaks".
