My phone has been hacked

I own an N97 and I use Opera to browse the web.I was atempting to acccess a website last night and it was taking a long time to connect.When it did connect I saw a Saudi flah and the message "You have been hacked by....."
What can I do to secure my phone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Haven't heard about this before. It is possible that what you saw was one of these web pop ups that makes you think you have been hacked in order to get you to download some meaningless and expensive "solution". This is quite common on desktop PCs.
First thing to check is if you have any applications installed that you don't recognise by looking Application Manager. If you unsure then post them here and other N97 users can check if they recognise them as genuine.

HT5622 my friend believes her phone has been hacked as her ex partner has read all her messages from people for the last week how is this possible?

my friend has an iphone 4 and believes her messages on her phone have been hacked as and ex boyfriend has contacted her telling her who she has spoken to and read the message she has for the past week, is this possible and how can she stop this?
Thanks

You're welcome.
Ask her if they shared an Apple ID to download iTunes Store content such as apps and music?
If not, he knows the password for her Apple ID email address.
She can create a new Apple ID with this link.
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleIdForIK B?localang=en_US&path=
She needs to create a new email address first as well.
Tell her not to use any security questions that her ex knows or may know.
After she has created a new Apple ID, on her iPhone go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID.
Select the Apple ID and at the menu window that appears, select Sign Out.
She signs back in at the same location with her new Apple ID to register her iPhone phone number with her new Apple ID and this will prevent her ex from having access to all iMessages that she sends and receives.

My phone has been hacked - opening texts, editing items and typing URLs

Something crazy is going on with my iphone. So far today it has done all of the following when it has been sat on a table, with nothing near it, and nothing touching it:
- opening text messages and scrolling through them
- entering my contacts and editing (deleting items and selecting new images)
- entering my photo gallery and selecting images
- opening search
- opening safari and connecting to the internet
- opening notes and copying and pasting items
- opening call history and calling people from my 'last dialled'
earlier when i was logged into twitter it sent to tweets - i lost all control of the screen. The first said 'En' and the second said 'E' (not anything dramatic) - but i had no control of it and had to turn it off and restart.
I reset all the factory settings but it's made no difference. I've since removed the sim card and turned the phone off - but i don't know if this is enough.
In addition to this - it was plugged into my mac syncing yesterday. Today when I turned my mac on, the green light next to the webcam will not go off - should I be worried about this?
Any advice or help is gratefully received!

When did you drop it (possibly into water)? Sounds like the digitizer is randomly generating taps/presses/swipes. Time to visit the Genius Bar and find out what the replacement is going to cost.

Is there anyone here who is willing to provide private assistance on helping me determine who and how my phone has been hacked- or remote user has access to which I did note allow? I don't want to post all of my info !

I have downloaded system log apps to gain more info on what is exactly taking place in my phone and have saved everything- ports connections IP address local an remote ones -advanced system logs - keg logs in my system logs - ect - there are words such as hash - remote user - localpeer Id - js processes - gem - registering unknown app identifier - MobileMe.fmf- system override by unknown source- bootstrap process - SMS plug in sim toolkit plugin - ect - GSEvent that is not designated as being routed to frontmost (type 2), forwarding to the System Ap- PSSystemConfigurationDynamicStoreMISWatcher sendStateUpdate]: MIS state change: 1022 -> 1022, reason: 4 -> 0- MobileMail [95] (Warning): BOOL hasAutosavedMessageWithIdentifier(id<NSCoding>) f-
PLEASE HELP - phone dies in two hours - cant turn off - switches screens - yes I've up dated software- leave kn charger over night and have 60% battery
I'm willing to send all info to anyone who will provide some type of reasonable answer for me other than back it up wipe it clean and restart BC- I live with the person I believe did It and really that's not going to help as I already have - would like more definitive info -

Will do that tomorrow - but the problem is- he has had access to my iCloud since I got an iPhone - we live together - have for a long time he set it up for me - I never realized there was a possibility he could possibly hack my phone entirely through that- and im still not sure - as answers here are vague- I don't have a problem with him viewing any info there- I never set up much more than contacts and find my iPhone which - who cares if he looks where I am - I don't lie about that- but until I started having multiple persistent problems with my phone - and finding many locked files on his Mac and Cydia on his iPad -( after hours of digging) - I never had a clue to think maybe he hacked my phone - I started really researching the concept and found vuze BitTorrent VMware strange wifi numbers - different locations on Mac - apple script and text edit files - pdf files that made no sense- stuffit - frankly i dont know what any o it really means- the problem is - I don't think going to apple tomorrow having them fix it - and not knowing if the problem is here at home is going to help this situation -if he is hacking / remote using - my phone on the level I think he has - I clearly can't figure it out with the knowledge I have in regards to this software - never knew he was into it - and frankly I think If its true its pretty easy for him to do again as we share everything here - can apple look at the information I have and really answer this question or do I need to find someone who will be able to understand the data ( im sure apple will -but who wants their product hack able) and all I've heard is its impossible to hack an apple phone with out jail breaking it - which from what I've looked at the last month I'm not sure about that if you share all your devices constantly. I would just like a definitive yes or no - and before I wipe it clean - it's kind of a serious thing.

I would like to know if my phone has been hacked in any sort of way.

I found two contacts of people in my contact book who I never added into it. I then got a new phone, but a few days later the same two contacts reappeared. Both of the times that I have found them on my phone the numbers have included contact photos. Also my data use has spiked through the charts this past month so I've become a little more suspicious. When I brought the contact thing up to the guys at my closest phone store they said they never heard of such a thing so I became more worried. If anyone knows or has any answers please let me know! It would be much appreciated!!

Someone would have to have possesion of your iphone for a period of time in order to hack it.
Has this happened?

I think my phone has been hacked and I don't know what to do!

Is there somebody I can contact about getting help with my phone being hacked? plz help

Because of the inaccessibility to the web. Also, my Verizon account has someone else as the account owner. It just seems that something else has control of or access to my phone. Being asked the way you did really made me force myself to put to words what's wrong. That's just it, I can't put my finger on it. I must sound nutty.

How can i tell if my iphone 4 has been hacked into?

Here is the situation.....a friend of mine is in a bad marriage. She found out her husband bugged her laptop and her phone and is finding out all of her conversations. The other day, we were all at a buffet restaurant and he was sitting at the table with us, without thinking anything of it, I left my purse with my phone at the table while all but him went up to the bar. Later on that night, I was in the car with another friend and we were talking in detail about our friends situation. The next day my friend whom I was talking to in the car, checked her answering machine, and our conversation was on her machine. I checked my call log AND detailed billing from AT&T thinking I may have butt dialed her house, but there is no record of me calling her house. The same with her, she as no record of calling her house and her home phone does not have caller ID. This guy is very tech savy and is the manager of 4 AT&T stores. Is it possible for him to have hacked into my phone and put some sort of bug in it? If this is possible, is it also possible for my phone to be able to record our conversation without a call being placed? If it is possible, how can I tell if my phone has been hacked?
Thanks

It would be extremely difficult for someone to be able to grab your iPhone out of your purse and hack into it without having a laptop computer with him with which to jailbreak the iPhone and time to work on it. I can't say it would be impossible, though. I'd suggest as a precaution you perform a Restore on your iPhone; if it restores successfully that would clear any jailbreak and remove any hack.

I believe my BlackBerry has been HACKED

This may sound crazy. I've been using Blackberry for 7 years and have never encountered something like this. I woke up to my alarm last week and as I reached for it I noticed a messaged had popped up on my screen that said "Your phone has been hacked" with an exclamation mark inside a Triangle beside it. I read the msg at the same moment I touched my phone to turn off my alarm and the message disapearred. Rubbing my eyes I thought I was seeing things.
Last night Microsoft outlook mailed me to inform me my account had been accessed from another country. I changed ALL my passwords immediately and ONLY entered the new passwords into my Blackberry to re-sync my accounts. An hour ago I just got an email from a different email account saying my other email had been accessed. But the ONLY place I'd entered the NEW password for this other email account had been on my blackberry. Whoever accessed my other account already had my NEW password, and the only place I entered that new password was on my blackberry device.
I now believe the message I saw on my phone that morning was actually there and I don't know what to do! Is it possible for a Blackberry to display that message to a user? Please help!

If the messages are in your email, these are very common scams.
If you have a popup directly on your desktop of the Blackberry phone when not running an application this is very strange. This should never happen! If it is in an email, then it is obvious it is email content. If the popup is in a software then it is the software that is the problem.
If I was to see a popup on the desktop of a Blackberry device, I would wipe the phone and re-install the operating system. Using the Link software backup the user files first. If your data is not important you can skip the backup. First make sure your phone is synced with some type of service to preserve your email addresses. You can re-install the OS using the Link software. This is sort of a long process, but not too difficult to do.
I know a lot of people including myself who get these scams. I just hope you never answered to any of these, and NEVER clicked on any links and fill out their forms.
With your Blackberry phone, as long you use original Blackberry software and NEVER follow instrcutions from Scam email you should be safe. If you ever filled out any of these Scam forms you very quickly must change your passwords.
With your phone or computer NEVER open any emails, and especially attachments unless you are sure the source is safe.
The email services, financial services, operating systems services, and distributors will never send you emails asking about passwords and personal information. The only time you would receive an email from any of these services is if you solicited to have an email from them.
If you are installing Android software be cautious. Many Android programs can be a security issue with the phone. The whole idea of the Blackberry phone is for the security. Using Android software does add some risk.
I have been told the safest download sites are 1mobile and Amazon for Android programs to be used on the Blackberry phone. But, there are no absolute guarantees.
When I first got my Passport, I tried an Android software that looked interesting to me. I downloaded it from the Google server for Android programs. The phone started to work very slow, and the program was displaying banners on the screen when I was using the program. It was a free chess game. I tried to uninstall this game and it would not go out! I had a backup from before I installed this program. The best I could do to get rid of it was to wipe the phone and re-install the OS. This fixed it.
I hope all this helps you out. I am a user like anyone else, and when i have time I participate in these groups. In my family we have a lot of Blackberry phones. We like this phone a lot.

How do I know If my computer has been hacked?

I think my Mac just got hacked into. I was working on a doc. that had personnel information- names. Phone #s and my home street address. my mac book pro froze up and when it unfroze, all of the names, phone#s and my address changed to ?/-\|# After I stared at the screen w disbelief for less than 1 sec. Word closed it down. After 2 min. Word brought the 2 word doc. I was working on back onto the screen. I looked at the personnel info, and saw the names, phone numbers and my street address in numbers and words. It looked like as if nobody touched my Mac. What should I do? I need help badly. If my computer has been hacked, the information they took, can they steal identity, credit card #s with just phone #s and first&last names besides my street address. I havent touched my computer since thus happened. I'm my iPhone. Should I turn off my computer? Also ididnt save the doc. I was working on. a box came up and said "this file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK and give the document a new namein the Save dialog box( AutoRecovery save of document1)". What should I do? I'm not making this up. I watched everything without realizing what happened. Should I have turned my computer off while it was in the middle of the proscess? Help! Help!

You have not been hacked. Something went wrong with Word and it crashed, and something must have reopened Word. (The system will usually ask if you want to reopen a crashed app... did you see such a message?) Word must have simply reopened the docs you had open when it crashed.
It's actually quite difficult to hack a Mac, and pretty much requires you to help out by opening it up for potential access by hackers.

My iphone has been hacked?

My touch screen started malfunctioning about a week ago. Two days before, when I was viewing a photo on Facebook, the screen froze again. I then closed the Facebook apps and went back to the home screen. But the touch screen did not allow me to control it. I then turned off the screen and entered the lock screen. Just when the lock screen appears, password buttons were being pressed automatically as if it was entering some passwords. I had not touched the screen at all. It did not enter the correct button and when it failed, it tried again. I looked at the screen and noted that it tried several times of wrong input of the password, I forced off the phone and restarted it. Everything resumed normal and I thought it was just normal malfunctioning.
Yesterday morning, when I was reading Yahoo News on the iphone, the apps hanged. I closed the apps and intended to re-open it. But before I could attempt to press the apps button, the phone started to function by itself. The pull down menu was being dragged down, and scrolled through the list of emails and events. It pressed open my email list, and clicked onto one of my emails. The email it opened showed a hyperlink of a community which I was a member of, and required me to input a password. When it entered the page of password input, it stopped. I did not enter any p/w and close the mail apps. But once I closed the mail apps, the pull down menu was dragged down again, and the list was scrolled again, another email with hyperlink and p/w entry was required was opened. It stopped again when a password was prompt. This series happened several times in the roll. For reason of the pattern, and the password entry prompt, I was very sure that somebody was in control of my phone, wishing to get some of my passwords. I switched off the phone and restart. Everything seemed to have resumed normal. But after that, I removed a few newly installed apps.
This morning, some of my friends called me. They asked me why I did not reply to their WeChat messages. It appeared that I lost all incoming messages from last night onwards, except those in a group chat. I tested with several friends and it seemed that the problem is on me. The more scary thing is, I noted from one of my group chat that I typed a message "testing" to the group. The fact is, I did not type the message and in fact, I was on the phone at the material time.
Can some of the experts here please help me and let me know what's happening and what I should do? Will merely restore to factory setting helps the situation? I closed all cellular connection on my iphone now to protect all data inside.
PS Mine is a iPhone 5. I had not JB my phone. My phone was purchased direct from an authorised dealer accompanying a phone package plan. It is a genuine Apply Original product at its first release.

If the phone has been in your possession since you set it up and you did not hack or jailbreak it then it is not hacked.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Or take the phone to an apple store to have it checked out.

I believe some how some way my iPhone or appleID has been hacked into. My iPhone sent 3 iMessages out that I did not type or send - 2 while I was sleeping and one while I was in mid imessage conversation. Please help if you know anything about this!

I believe that my iPhone or apple ID has been hacked into. Three imessages were sent from my phone that I did not type or send - two while I was asleep at 1:15am and in the morning during an iMessage conversation. These messages were to my boyfriend about my boss. Apple and AT&T have been somewhat helpful but both are pointing fingers at the others saying they cannot track the message or see if my personal information has been compromised. I feel extremely violated because this hacker knows who my boyfriend is and who my boss is and I just started this job two weeks ago! I am about to go to the police because this person is trying to taint my good reputation and destroy my relationships at work and in my personal life. Does anyone have any incite on how this could be done and is there any way to trace where those three iMessages were generated from??

No I have my own iPhone iPad and MacBook so everything is set up on devices that are mine and as far as I know I never connected to anyone else's device and logged with my apple ID. But are you saying it is possible for someone to have obtained my apple ID and send an iMessage from their device with my contact information so it looks like it came directly from me? It's crazy I looked down at my iPhone and saw this message had just been sent that I did not type or send

How do you tell if your iphone has been hacked?

How do you tell if you iphone has been hacked? I have an iphone 3GS and I've gotten text messages from 2 different people that i don't know, telling me they can't see the pics that I've sent them & wanting to know what the pics are of. One of the numbers had been part of a group message that I recieved from a friend. I just thought she ended up responding back to me by mistake thinking she was sending a message to the originater of the group message.Then a couple weeks later i got another text from a person I have never contacted wanting to know who I was & why I was sending multimedia messages that she couldn't open. Just trying to figure out what is going on. If I postd this on the wrong group, please let me know which one I need to post this on. Thanks.

Well that's good to know. As far as I know the phone has not been jailbroken, unless it was done before I bought it. I purchased it used from an individual who said it was restored to factory defaults.
It just concerns me that people are texting me telling me that I'm sending them pics that they can't open. I've checked my bill online & nothing shows up that shouldn't be there.
