ITunes account got hacked

I just downloaded OS4 the other day on my iPhone, and after that saw this Game Center app on my home screen. After playing WoW for years you'd think I would remember about keyloggers, duh. But I read that Game Center was supported by Apple so I didn't think 2x about putting in my Apple ID and password. 2 days later I have almost $75 in charges on my iTunes account for movies and game apps. I changed my user name and PW already but still the inconvenience this has caused is infuriating. Here's hoping Apple would credit my account.

oops wrong forum thread

How to I change the language in the app store? Mine changed all of a sudden to some Asian language. And then my iTunes account got hacked...not sure what to do

I was attempting to download an app..."living social" and I got this push message that came up very quickly in a different language. I turned off my iPad then turned it back on and realized my app store was in some Asian language. Then I noticed that I had been charged 20.00 on my credit card...that is linked to iTunes for an app purchase. I have emailed apple support but I have not heard anything yet and I do not know what to do.

My itunes account was hacked 17 $ stolen what do i do?

my itunes account was hacked and 17$ were stolen what do i do?

There seems to be a big push in the last week for hacking accounts. I got an email saying that an app was downloaded from an unknown device using my AppleID. I immediately changed my password and saved my balance from anything happening. But the app is still up on the iTunes store, even with a ton of feedback from people saying it was downloaded and their accounts hacked (losing their entire balance). The only way that I can gather someone hacked my AppleID is from my iPhone as I rarely access it from my computer which is locked up tight and behind a personal pfSense firewall along with AV detection on each PC. Phones are very vulnerable nowadays, which is why I am guessing this is the method of attack.

My gmail account got hacked and all my contacts from my iPhone4s are now deleted

My gmail account got hacked. My contacts were synched onto my iPhone from my gmail account. The person who hacked my phone erased all my contacts. I went and changed all my passwords but I'm wondering how to get my contacts back? Also, how do I know that the hacker doesn't have more info. than just my contacts?

My iTunes account was hacked. How do I get my account reactivated?

My iTunes account was hacked. There was an app on my phone that I did not purchase. It made 'in app' approved purchases on my account to the tune of $100 that I did not authorize. I have contacted PayPal who put a stop on payments. I have tried contacting the iTunes store several times over the past 3 days, and there has been no response. My iTunes account has now been disabled. How can I get help with this if nobody is responding to my emails? Is there a phone number to contact?

TS1368 My iTunes account was hacked and charges were made from some other computer. Now my computer isn't being recognized and I need to enter security answers I never provided answers for and cannot access my account to make a purchase. I need help!

My iTunes account was hacked and fraudulant charges were made. Now when I try to go into my account from my personal computer, it states that "this is the first time using this computer, please enter answers for security questions," I never answered any security questions and cannot change or edit that because it tells me I'm entering the wrong info. How do I get a live person to help me through this so I can return to making purchases on my own account?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you saying that you contacted Apple support and they instructed you to backup and restore your iPad? Or do you mean that you picked up this information from an online support article? If you spoke to an Apple rep or received these instructions via email, contact them again for further help.
I fail to see how restoring your iPad would enable yoyr Apple ID.

Itunes account was hacked...EVERYTHING was changed!?

My itunes account was hacked a few months ago and I'm just now noticing it. I rarely used this account, but yesterday I decided to log back in because I had some unused itunes credit. So, when I tried to login it said that I was giving the wrong information. So, I was confused and so I tried to reset my account password by email. The only thing was that I wasn't receiving an email (because the hacker CHANGED EVERYTHING). So, then I tried the other option by authenticating...so I put in my birthdate....and that was changed too...So...I called apple support because I thought they could help me out. So, I gave them my original apple id and they told me that it wasn't on file, like it never existed. So, I told them that they were WRONG! So, they checked again and said that there was no record of me ever making my apple id. So, I mentioned to them that I was hacked and asked them is there anyway they could use the "hacker's" apple id so that I can reclaim my account (which has money and etc on it). They said that they couldn't not give out personal information.....So basically they're telling me that they can't give me information on my own account! I also have emails proving that this was my account at one point and time and that my infomation was changed by someone in a different country. I had to make another apple id and it *****! I want my old one back and it isn't fair that this HACKER gets to get awaiy with it! Is there anything I can do...like call apple headquarters or something?

Contact itunes support.

My Itunes account was hacked and 300$ stolen and I cannot get itunes to respond. Any advice?

The money was stolen off of gift cards stored on my itunes account, and I did close the card on the account. I have changed my infortiona security wide but kept the rest of the changes they made to my account as proof. It has indeed been 48 hours since I conta cted them, and still no response. Also on this forum others have reported the same thing happening. Very sad I cannot even call Itunes about this. Thanks for your response.

ITunes/App Store account got hacked...what about my money?

Hey guys, i'm in a really bad situation right now and I hope you guys can feel a little empathy for me...
So, I traveled for 3 day and when I got home, the first thing I checked was my email and there it was a huge app store billing telling me that I had supposedly spent all my 25 dollars in apps that have never touched my computer. I keep my computer free o virus and keyloggers and I dont access internet through anything else but my own pc.
Have no idea how the f* did it but someone hacked my account and spent my money on crappy apps, there's even chinese stuff..omg...
Moving on, I've tried to contact apple 4 days ago and until now, no answer. I have I slightly thought they trying to con me but let's wait a bit more.
*So if this contact with apple doesn't work, what can I do*? It's obviously apple's fault not to ask for more information to authorize a computer...had they asked, this would never happened..

2 days ago I loaded 2 US$50 gift cards into my Apple iTunes account. This morning I received an emailed iTunes receipt $49.99 for a free application, World War (merchant Storm8, LLC) and 800 World War Honor points. I checked my purchase history and found another charge from yesterday for US$34.97 for another 500 Honor points (in-app purchase).
Trolling these forums I found many people claiming the same thing happened to them with other in-app purchases. My question is how were our accounts compromised. I'm sure Apple will deny all culpability after they ban Storm8 from selling on the iTunes store. I remember something like this happening in June/July 2010...
I filed a complaint with iTunes support @ http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ and with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (http://www.ic3.gov). Perhaps if enough people complain, the FBI will come knocking on Apple's door.
In Apple's defense, they did immediately disable my account. Funny thing is, after they disabled my account they they told me to log in and verify my purchase history. They thought the fraudulent purchase might have been an accidental on my part. I guess Apple didn't read the part in my support email that I filed a complaint with the BFI Cyber Crime division. LOL.

So this is my question. In January 2012 my iTunes account was hacked. How can I find out who did this to me?

How to find out who hacked my iPhone and iTunes account ?

You really do not.
Most likely the hackers are in Russia or China and are part of a large criminal group.
You were not specifically targeted, just a random victim.
Let it go.
