My Yahoo email was hacked, and I have a Macbook
HELP!!!! I've contacted Yahoo to restore my emails and contacts, changed my password, run an anti-virus program, done what I was supposed to do. No luck. Lost all emails since 10/2012, lost ALL contacts in my address book, and I'm no longer receiving email from anywhere.
This may be the wrong place to ask these questions, but since I own a Mac, I thought I'd try.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

There have been issues recently with Yahoo email accounts. One of the issues I've seen is where users download Weatherbug, which apparently creates an issue that compromises Yahoo email for that account.
Do you maintain your mail only on Yahoo's servers ( you access mail through your web browser), or do you download mail to your MacBook and use the Apple mail application? If the latter, how did you lose mail since 10/12? If the former (hindsight is a wonderful thing), then start using Apple mail, download mail to your MacBook, and of course backup your MacBook.

My yahoo email was hacked into via my Blackberry 8530 Curve
My yahoo email was hacked into as I opened an email on my Blackberry 8530 curve. They were able to change my email password, steal and delete my contact list, send all my contacts and email saying I was in London and desperately needed $1500 and set up an alternate email in Yahoo so that if some questioned the email requesting money they would reply it was really me. Is there anything I can use to protect the Blackberry phone from this type of thing from happening. Nortons phone security doesn't work with RIM Thanks for any help

You should also know YAHOO was of now help at all in helping or even stopping this from going on. They only respond with canned emails.richardcm wrote:
Thanks for the response. No one else used my phone. Unfortunately, I'm still skeptical of your conclusion. I have disabled the yahoo e-mail through my Blackberry message center and changed the password on my yahoo e-mail account. Fortunately, I have had no further occurrences over the past few days. To regain some confidence in the security, I feel inclined to create a new yahoo e-mail account, add some contacts, enable it through my Blackberry message center and see if the same thing happens. Any thoughts on that?
omg, your Yahoo account was hacked probably from India or China or Turkey, by running password code breaking software on the account. The hackers do this ALL day long and ALL night long across the internet guessing passwords combos.
It has nothing do with your BlackBerry. Your BlackBerry email data is encrypted. Your PC or internet connection to your Yahoo account is very likely not.
Your "test" won't prove anything.

You're gonna have to figure out a way to call AppleCare...there is no AppleCare where you live...somewhere, & ask to talk to "Account Security". Here's a list of worldwide support numbers:

My yahoo account was hacked and ipad does not respond
My yahoo account was hacked and cannot get my ipad to accept my account again and new password
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.

My old email was hacked and destroyed.
My old email was hacked and destroyed. How can I change my acct email to my new one. I can't even update my password because all emails from you go to the old address.
Thanks,
Randy
<Edited by Host>No one from Apple is here - this is a user to user support forum.
Password updates do not require an email unless you have forgotten your Security Questions.
To change your Apple ID go to Manage your Apple ID: Apple - My Apple ID, sign in, answer the Security Questions, and then EDIT the Apple ID. If you do not remember the answers to your Security Questions, you can have them reset by Apple Support: ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS

My email was deleted and I have long since forgotten the password - plus I must have typed personal information in incorrectly... I can't reset my password (email goes to deceased email account) and I have $$$$ left! What do I do to get access to the remaining dollars?
You do realize that there are many, many email providers and without knowing which one you are talking about, there is no way to answer your question?
Which then leads to this ..... Have you contacted your email provider about this? That's probably the best place to start. See what they recommend. -

My email was hacked recently and I have been trying to reset it for awhile. Theres no way to delete the account or reset my phone without the password. I also dont remeber what year I put in for my birthday.
Call Apple and ask for Account Security.

Even if my iPad and all apple gadgets contain my new email, the old email I no longer use is the one prompted for my apple ID when I visit the App Store. Please help.
CatibayanMaking a new ID is not a good solution, as all your previous purchases are forever tied to the old one.
Who cares if your old email was hacked, it's the apple id that matters. If you stil can't acccess it, then try this:
Account Security Team (AST)
Check the AppleCare number for your country here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Call them up, and let them know you would like to be transferred to the Account Security Team. -
My email was hacked and now I can't get to my iTunes I think it was hacked to
One of my email address was hacked. When I discovered this setout to change all my passwords and when I tried access my iTunes account associated with this email the Password had changed. Not sure if maybe my wife didn't change it already I went in to I forgot my Password link and when I attempted to answer questions it appears that they changed my birthday, so of course that didn't work. I then attempted to ask for an email to be sent so I could change password it has been over an hour and I still have not recieved the email.
I don't think I had a credit card associated with this account so I think I am ok. But I am fairly certian I have some purchases associated with this account and want to at least insure I have all of these.
Is there a way to either get access back or kill this account so I can insure that My reputation isn't damged by some full with nothing better to do with his life.Try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

My email was hacked and needs changed and I cannot gain access to my apple account
I was hacked a while back and still trying to get life back on track. I have changed my Apple ID yet on my iPad2 since I cannot find a password that works I cannot get into my account. I cannot just resent the passcode since the email does not exist any longer. I also cannot back up the iPad2.
This turned out to be an easy repair. In settings near the bottom is "STORE" cliick
Go to Apple ID click
logout
login in with the currently correct new Apple ID and Password, as EXISTING not new account.
Thanks Linda at Support morning!!!!! -
Our aol account was hacked overseas. The Apple ID and passwords no longer work. We can not access any Apple products. ID icloud, iTunes, etc. how do we override the old Apple id and change/or ID and passwords?
What do you mean by "won't work"? Are you indicating that your Apple ID was your AOL email address? Have you attempted to change your Apple ID here:

when yahoo messenger opens my yahoo email accounts in firefox, some accounts open fine and others have no grapics and only show on the left side of the screen
Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -
My yahoo email looks normal when I open it through yahoo, but I would rather use firefox as it is faster.
Cats sometimes also activate caret browsing via the F7 key, so you may want to check that as well.
