My email account has been hacked -help!

Emails have been sent to some people n my contacts list th I haven't sent- it contains a link which its says has Been sent from my iPhone - please help.

Seems my account has also been hacked, and sent messages to everyone on my contact list but all off them appearing to be from different domain names. This is yet another problem experienced since Sky moved to Yahoo emails. Not happy with this at all and sadly it's incurred me costs as I've had to text everyone I know to warn them. Can this be investigate further please?

My email account has been hacked and my address book has been used to send unsolicitated emails to all my contacts, how can I stop this activity

My email account has been hacked and my address book has been used to send unsolicitated emails to all my contacts.

First of all
Run windows in safe mode (with network) and change your password on your email account.
Then
run several anti-malware programs (there are many free ones, but not all are trustworthy)
Malwarebyte >> http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Microsoft Safety Scanner >> http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Windows Defender >> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/using-defender
Spybot >> http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
Kasperky >> http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan
Rootkit scanner TDSS-Killer >> http://support.kaspersky.com/5350
And when all is clean, change password for your email account again.

What do I do if my .mac email account has been hacked?

I just learned that my .mac email has been hacked. What can I do to prevent any further emails being sent out in my name? Do I need to change my passwords and if so, how?

Change your password immediately at http://appleid.apple.com/
However, if the emails are not in your Sent folder, it's unlikely that your account was hacked. More likely some spammer is just using your address as the send from address. This is easily done and does not require access to your account to be done.

My BT Yahoo Email Account has been hacked again

Since I started to pay £1.60 a month for my BT Yahoo Email account (a few months ago), I have been inundated in spam (I received 33 so far today) and I am careful who I give my email address to! AND today I have received messages from the Mail Delivery System saying they could not deliver messages which I have NOT sent! Someone has hacked my account again, now I think the fourth time this has happened and sent spam to all my contacts, but the messages do NOT show up in the sent folder. When this has happened in the past I have changed all my security information but it does not stop this from happeneing so:
1) How or why is this happening? It has never happened with my hotmail accounts.
2) How can I stop it, short of deleting my account?
3) How can I get hold of someone at BT to report these problems and make a complaint - on live chat they just tell me to ring an 0808 number, can't I email someone?
Many thanks for any help you can offer.

Your account has more than likely not been hacked again. If it was previously hacked, when Yahoo had its systems hacked, your email address and all your email contacts would have been harvested by the hackers. This means that they can send spam emails to your contacts anytime they wish without having to hack your account.
They will have spoofed your email address so that the emails appear to be coming from your account. This is to fool your contacts in to thinking the emails are from you and are safe to open. When the emails are not delivered they will be returned to your email address hence the Mail Delivery Sytem returns..
There is nothing you can do other than to stop using that email address and tell all your contacts to treat any emails from it as spam and to delete them.
See links about spoofing email addresses.

Welcome to the Apple community moonlight94.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Hi, I just created an apple Id account and someone has already used it to buy ibooks! Help, looks like my account has been hacked!

Hi, I just created an apple Id account and someone has already used it to buy ibooks! Help, looks like my account has been hacked!

Received an email:
our Apple ID, xxxxxx, was just used to download iBooks from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go toiforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Security and your Apple ID for further assistance.

My premium account has been hacked, please help ASAP!

Apparently my Spotify account has been hacked last night and the password & email address have been changed so I can't reset my password. My hacked account is "mrouhiai" I created this new account "mrouhiai_2" to post this message to this forum. I have never shared my account with anyone, and my email has not been compromised. I can prove my identity in many ways if necessary. This new account I've just created is using my old email from the original account. You should be able to verify these details easily. Case #: 03363771

Same here, today somebody changed my account norre01 e.mail address. Now it is [email protected] and I can't reset my password anymore (I tried, didn't got any e-mail). I still can access my account through Facebook login I changed my FB password, their security check didn't find any abnormal activity on my FB account.I sent also message to Customer Support, but probably it takes time. Kind regards PS! Off-topic question; is it possible to recover people/artist whom i following list?

HT201303 Hi my iTunes account has been hacked by someone in Canada, they downloaded a game called "Game of War fire age" the game is free but the in app purchases are up to £69.99 each time for gold I am very concerned about the security of ITunes at this

My iTunes account has been hacked via Canada according to an email from apple some one in china tried a few weeks ago but failed.
I changed my password a couple time now but it seems that someone has hacked it and downloaded a free game called "game of war fire age" as I said its a free game but the in app purchases can be up to £69.99 per purchase of gold?
This is a worrying thought that my account has been compromised and I am unsure of what to do about it.
I would like to open a new account but would I be able to transfer all my purchases over to a new account any advice is welcome many thanks for your time.

i recieved the same email with the same game and it also stated the purchase was from canada i have revieved a few other as well and am concerned i have changed my password a few times now but i still revcieve emails and am very worried. i recieved the email near the date this question had been put up
however i do not know how they are downloading apps as my credit card details need verification when i download anything , any help would be much appreciated.

HT4865 My mac.me account has been hacked. What do I need to do?

I have received the following message notification report. Since I never sent the email I guess my account has been hacked. I have changed my password but assume this isn't enough to protect my account. Thanks for your prompt advice

That does not mean your account has been hacked.
All it means is that some spammer has attached your email address to some email he sent. That is incredibly easy to do (just change the From: address) and does not require access to your account.
Spammers do this all the time. There's nothing you can do about it. Just delete the bounced emails and it will subside when the spammers move on to other email addresses.
