Is it possible to get hacked without doing anythin...

I'm apart of a forum, and within that forum there seems to be a lot of skype hackings which interfere with it's progressive development. Is it possible to get your skype hacked without anyone knowing the email of it and or adding others that send you maclicious files? How is it possible to get your skype hacked if these two problems are out of the equation and your computer is clean? 

Unless your iPhone has been jailbroken there is nothing known that can attack the iOS...and be sure to download the latest iOS, 7.0.6 as that has security patches and SSL patches.
There can be browser pop-ups, but those are from the website and not things that can self-install on an iOS device.  They can be a scary thing to deal with, however.  Basically what you did is great...I would not bother with anything like Avast.  With an experience like that, double click the home button, dismiss all recent apps by swiping the material above the icon up and away, then reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider if that appears.
Doing that stops all apps that could be running even in the background, clears all memory, and resets the iOS device.  No data or settings will be affected by doing that.

  • 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 hacked from safari on your Iphone

    When I was browsing a site a white badge icon popped up and asked if I wanted to go to a site. Assuming that this was malicious I went to take safari off multitask. When I did that my screen went black w/the white apple logo and a few seconds later my normal locked screen appeared. When I went back into my phone I assumed it was a virus and cleared all the cookies/history from safari. After that I spent the next couple of hours downloading avast and resorting my phone. My only concerns are if they hacked me and stole any information from my phone (that being the reason I restored my phone). My question to you guys is has this ever happened to you guys and should I still be concerned? Its been a day and I'm still shaken up.

  • 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.

  • HT201365 I recently updated my Ipad 2 with iOS7 and I suddenly have 794 emails in my inbox which were previously read and deleted.  how do I get rid of them without doing one at a time?

    I recently updated my Ipad2 to iOS7 and suddenly have 794 emails in my inbox which were previously reviewed and deleted.  How can I get rid of them without doing one at a time?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • HT1222 Is it possible to get the SSL fix without having to install ios7 (which I tried and hated) or jailbreaking the devices?

    I have a few ipads, iphones and ipod touches of various models, and all run iOS6 of various types (whatever they were running when I last updated them before iOS 7 came along and stopped me being able to get newer versions of 6).
    I tried iOS7 for a while but hated both the appearance and some of the things that changed.
    My ipods have updated to a new version of iOS6 with the SSL fix.
    I can't seem to get this option for the ipads or iphones.
    Is it possible to get the important SSL update for iOS 6 for iPhone5, iPad3, ipad4 and ipad mini (not retina) without having to go to iOS7?
    (It seems that I can get a fix by jailbreaking but I really don't want to do that if there's another option since I have no need for it otherwise.)
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks, that's helpful. I expected that answer, since I read a load of stuff about Apple pushing people to get iOS 7 despite it having people who disliked it, but was hopeful it was not the case
    Some of the changes, like to calendar were just frustrating.
    Not a big problem though - just means that the next phone and tablet hardware update I get won't be apple.
    Thanks a lot for the swift and helpful replies.

  • My app tabs disappeared when opening my browser. How do I get them back, without doing a system restore to yesterday?

    When I opened firefox as my browser, I accidentally clicked on it twice, it opened two sessions. I closed one session, but, as it turns out I closed the session that had all of my app tabs, leaving the page that had none of my app tabs.
    Now, I cannot get my app tabs back.
    I tried doing a session restore to the previous session and that didn't help.
    How can I get the correct session, with my app tabs in place, without doing a) a system restore point on the whole computer or b) restarting the computer?

    On your iPod Touch, open the iTunes app. There should be tab named "purchased", which shows all your purchase history. Choose the "Not on this iPod" tab and you'll get a list of purchased products that are not on your device. Hope this helped.

  • Iphone 4s coming friday, what is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across.

    What is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across. If I do a restore as I have when previously from one iphone to another it has shown (in settings, usage) the cumulative usage from previous phones so all the hours of calls on all previous iphones will be displayed even though its brand new. Anyone know how I can get my notes (from standard iphone notes app) to my new iphone 4s without restoring from previous iphone 4. Thanks for any help offered.

    First, if you haven't updated to iTunes 10.5, please update now as you will need it for the iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Once you're done installing iTunes 10.5, open it. Connect your iPhone to iTunes using the USB cable. Once your iPhone pops up right click on it. For example: an iPhone will appear and it will say "Ryan's iPhone."
    Right click on it and select "Backup" from the dropdown menu. It will start backing up. This should backup your notes.
    Please tell me if you have any problems with backing up.
    Once you backup and get your iPhone 4S, you must follow these steps. If you don't follow these steps, you will not be able to get your notes on your new iPhone 4S.
    Open up iTunes again then right click on your device (iPhone 4S). Once you do you will see a dropdown menu. It will say "Restore from Backup..." Select this and it'll ask for a backup, select it from the dropdown menu. For example "Ryan's iPhone - October 12, 2011." Pick that and it will restore to your backup. Do this when you get your iPhone 4S so you will not lose anything. Even though you're restoring, you're getting back, since you're getting the previous settings, notes, contacts, mail and other settings from your old iPhone. You'll still have Siri though! So, restore when you first get it. Also frequently backup your device, as it will be worth it. You can restore from a backup if something goes wrong or save your data for a future update.
    Once you do that, you should have your notes on your new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Please tell me if you need any help.
    I hoped I answered your questions and solved your problem!

  • Is it possible to have a playlist that excludes the explicit songs without doing it one by one and that keeps it updated with purchases?

    Is it possible to have a playlist that excludes the explicit songs without doing it one by one and that keeps it updated with purchases?
    I want it for the kids but my computer constantly breaks and I am fed up with going through over 1000 songs every time it does!
    Thanks for any advice (other than buy a new computer!)

    Not fully automatically, no. iTunes doesn't expose the clean/explicit status to the smart playlist system, but if you're prepared to take a few seconds to tag new purchases, say by adding the keyword Explict into the grouping field, then it will be easy to create smart playlists that exclude those tracks. I use a similar scheme to tag tracks so they they go into seperate playlists for each member of the family, E,g, a grouping of Alice/Bob will go into each of Alice's & Bob's playlists, but not Charlie's.

  • I have just updated my 4s to IOS7. and now my battery discharge is significantly increase. With my Iphone fully charged, the battery run out within 6 hours without using the phone at all. Would it be possible to get the IOS 6.1.3 back to my 4S?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

    Probably externalInterface, and maybe BrowserManager.
    But both of those are much harder and messier than flashvars.

  • Is it possible for an itouch5 to get hacked?

    I was connected to a wifi and then left my Itouch in front of me and left my blog running.  No one touched it during that time. When I looked at it to check the time, my blog was trying to post something by itself and i could not use the assistive touch because it was as if someone else was using the itouch. I pressed the home button and then my apps started opening by themselves and then started shaking as if someone wanted to delete or move these apps. Then my music opened by itself. I clicked on settings and saw that my wifi connection had changed to another connection which was password protected. I immediately turned my touch off. When i opened it again, things were back to normal. But then I don't lnow what happened because people say that it's impossible for an itouch to get hacked. And now I'm scared because I don't know if whoever was responsible for this was able to get information and passwords from my itouch. I'm the only one who uses my itouch. 

    If it is an old iPod, check my earlier post about the battery. The battery may be at the end of its life.
    If it is not the battery it may have been an unexpected quant from outer space: do the reset by holding the Power and Home buttons at the same time for about 15 secs until you see the white apple logo appear, then let it start again (you can do that once in a while even without having problems, it "cleans" everything).
    I am sure that a hack as you describe is impossible.
    The "hack" that xxmonkeyxxx describes seen on Youtube is probably a break-in in the iOS, after which you can do things that are not allowed in iOS, it "bricks" your iDevice. I am trying to avoid the word because it will terminate this thread...

  • My iTunes was working fine, all my CDs would import fully and quickly. Now they are importing slowly and when the CDs get to the last track they don't import and the CD drive just keeps spinning without doing anything! How can I fix this?

    My iTunes was working fine, all my CDs would import fully and quickly. Now they are importing slowly and when the CDs get to the last track they don't import and the CD drive just keeps spinning without doing anything! How can I fix this?
    I don't want to have to restart or reinstall my iTunes again as I'll have to redo all my playlists etc

    Likely that CD then. Check visually for damage, blemishes, etc., not that there's anything you can really do about those other than return the CD.
    The drive sits there and spins because it is trying to re-read the CD.  iTunes has error correction which is contributing to all this re-reading, I believe, and you may be able to disable that in preferences if you aren't picky about the result.
    You can also try other rippers such as Max or XLD.  I know those have configurable error correction.  I like XLD but it is slightly tricky to use until you find that for some reason the author has put all settings under preferences, not just the set once and forget ones.
