Change your password then have your computer scanned for Malware.

    The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
       1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
    Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
    bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
    'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
    ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
    phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
    2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
    3.  Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
    A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

  • HT4859 my email account was hacked and ive lost all emails can i restore them from icloud

    My email account was hacked and i've lost all my emails can I restore from icloud?

    Not if they've been deleted.  You could check your trash folder to see if they're still there.  If not, they're gone.

  • My email account was hacked so I had to change the accoun I neMy email ed to change my iCloud account from my old email to my new email on my iPhone but i cannot access my old account. I can't delete iCloud from my phone because i don't have the password.

    I am trying to change my icloud account information on my iphone.  I tried deleting the old account but couldnt because i dont have the password for the old account.  My previous Apple ID account email address was hacked and they changed my password.  I went to iForgot but they cant send the password to me via email because that account is disabled.  I cant go through the security questions becuase whoever hacked my email changed my account info too.  I dont know what to do.

    Try to contact Apple Customer Support.

  • When using Hotmail in FF, the tab keeps blinking between "Hotmail - my email address" and "Connecting." I do have the most recent update of FF. My hotmail account was hacked recently, so I'm concerned that it is a bug. Any suggestions?

    I noticed this issue the same day my email account was hacked.

    That may be a problem with JavaScript on the Hotmail site that MS needs to fix.<br />
    I'm also seeing issues like that when I access Hotmail.
    You can search the Hotmail forum to see if that issue has been reported.

  • HT4859 My yahoo account was hacked. I lost all my contacts and my folders. Is there a way to get them back through icloud since I back all that up there?

    How do I go back to the date my email account was hacked and retrieve my information?

    Where is your basic address book? On Yahoo? Or outlook? Check those two. If are in Yahoo try to export from there and import to outlook. Then close contact syncing on emails account in your iPhone and sync through iTunes. Omes you have your contacts in iPhone open Contacts in iCloud settings (iPhone) and look if its syncs. If yes uncheck Contacts syncing in iTunes (under info tab) and keep syncing through iCloud.

  • Changing icloud ID when old account was hacked

    Hi there,
    My old email account was hacked and I have changed my apple ID to a new email.
    I also had a problem with my iphone 5 and have had it replaced with a new one but it was given to me with the old apple ID on it.
    I now can't access anything on the icloud and icloud refuses to let me delete my old account because I no longer know the password (someone changed it after they hacked it). Is there anything at all I can do?

    Contact apple they would most likey need to know some info.

  • My old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more inportantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    my old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more importantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
    Have you seen this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

  • What does one do if your email account is hacked and an email is sent in your name asking for money

    What does one do if your email account is hacked?  Someone apparently has my email address and my contact list.  They sent an urgent email to the address list saying I was stranded in Italy and to send money.  Do I send am email to everyone in my address book telling them this is a hoax?

    Hi, first change the passwords on your accounts, next I guess I would send a short note to your list.

  • 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.

  • HT201303 how do i associate a different apple ID with my ipad?  I need to do this bc my gmail account was hacked and a hoax email sent out from it. so i opened a new gmail account and want to associate this new email with my ipad

    To check if you have a virus, you can download ClamXav
    also, go to Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor and see if there's anything that you don't recognize, and check your sent email to see if you've been sending emails without your knowledge.

  • What to do: CC account was hacked and now suspended?

    Adobe tells me my account was hacked.  My bank tells me to cancel my card for the account.  OK.  I chat to adobe support and they say Adobe will keep my account active until the new card arrives.  Just got an email saying my account is suspended and I have no new card.  Great!  Just started a new chat was told my chat had to be transferred.  Ten minutes later, I gave up.
    Anyone else have this problem and how was it solved?
    Honestly Adobe would be better off getting a yearly payment and then they wouldn't have had to keep my card details which I never did like. 

    Our apologies on the email. If Customer Support said they will keep your account active until the new card arrives then you are fine.
    Normally if someone's credit card expires or is invalid for some other reason we will send a courtesy email to let you know your account is suspended until payment is received.
