My ipad has been hacked. What do I do?

I opeed up my iPad  this morning and I noticed that the login screen (where I input my my password) looked strange -- there was a faint image of a face and the color was different when it should hav been a black and white screen shot image. I wasn't paying attention and signed in. Now, a totally foreign image appears -- a picture of an African American with really screwed up teeth and obviously alterned eyes -- pops up. WHat do I do now?

From your description it sounds like your Hotmail account was compromised. Does anyone else know the password and could they have changed it?

  • My account has been hacked, what can i do ?

    My I tunes account has been hacked, the password has been changed and the contact email has been changed as well. What can I do ?

    Then you may have to ask Apple to just shut down the account. Also let your bank know. Contact iTunes Support as well. Good luck

  • My acc has been hacked ,what do i need to do

    I think it's more of a virus rather than a hacking incident.  You can try to run a full antivirus scan using a fully updated antivirus software.

  • HT1338 My safari has been hacked what do I do?

    My safari and my phone are hacked what can I do?

    Depends on whether your computer has actually been "hacked", if your online account(s) have been "hacked", and what "hacked" actually means in your case.
    Why don't you start by explaining what symptoms you are seeing that lead you to believe you have been hacked...

    The only way that your device could be hacked is if it is jailbroken. If it is jailbroken, it cannot be discussed here on the forum because it is a violation of the TOS.

    I understand but like the article says:
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"

  • My computer has been hacked what do i do?

    basically my  problem is someone is remotely connected ot my computer through a virus and antivirus nor mac will pick it up i talked to apple and they did some troubleshooting but it only made the situation worse. He suggested that I change my IP address the computer and I was wondering how do I go about doing that.

    Disconnect from the internet.
    Look through your Mac and delete all potential or recently downloaded files and folders.
    The best bet is make a back up of trusted files and folders then completely wipe the computer but make sure the files and folders are definately safe.

  • IPad email has been hacked

    My iPad email seems to have been hacked. I have searched for other cases where this has happened, but I only see items where the respondent has said that the iPad cannot be hacked... So I will explain why I think mine really has been hacked.
    - 2 days ago at 6.15 am when I was asleep and my iPad was safely locked up at home an email was sent via my yahoo email account.
    - the email was address to myself and 3 contacts I know.
    - I saw the email later in the day because, of course, it landed in my inbox (I actually saw it first on another device)
    - over the years I have seen plenty of spam and spoofed email, but this looked different
        - firstly, one of the addressee emails was actually wrong and I also had a bounce email to say that yahoo had failed to deliver the message
    - so my first thought was that someone had hacked my yahoo account and sent the email from there. I therefore changed the password, hoping this would put a stop to the problem
    - in retrospect I checked the sent items box online in my yahoo mail account. The offending message was indeed there, so no doubt that it had been sent via the account. At that point I thought it likely that the hack had been via the online email service and not from any of my devices.
    - however, still curious I started checking all my devices (all Apple: 2 macs, 2 iPhones and finally the iPad)
    - all the devices showed no suspicious sent item except my iPad which showed the rogue email in the sent items folder under my email account details
    So, the questions now are:
    - how did this happen?
    - how do I stop this happening again?
    Ps. The rogue email contained a link to the following URL
    //ceramiccoatingsfl.com/www.cnbcnews.com.reportage24h.today.viewprofit37.php

    Unless the iPad was out of your sight long enough for someone to send the email it was not hacked. Its just not physcally possible to hack an iPad and then remotely send the email.
    What happened is that since your iPad is synced to your Yahoo mail, any activity on your account is mirrored on the iPad. so when the email was sent thorugh your Yahoo account, the sent mail is put in your Sent folder which is mirrored to your iPad.

    I take it you have, nor have never had, any connections with Iowa?
    To start, I would change passwords on all your accounts.

  • My iPad has been syncing for 18   hours since I am trying to do the iCloud thing.  What happens if I stop the back up process? Getting tired of waiting for it to get done.  Could this be caused by the fact that I have 5gb of photos on the iPad ?

    My  iPad has been syncing for 18 hours / back up process since I tried to work with the iCloud.  Some items ie., contacts are synced to my new iPhone 4si and also books from the app store and also kindle stuff is okay.  No photos yet.  iPad has 5 gb of photos on it.  What happens if I stop the back up/sync process before it completes? Does it mess up my iPad??? Thanks

    Hello, j2isgr8.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    It sounds like your iPad is disabled and not recognized in iTunes.  Here are the troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this scenario.
