Scared I'm being hacked!?!?!?!

I usually stay signed in on my phone so that my family member who is serving over seas can reach me when it's convenient for them... I woke up to see 2 missed calls from System Alert at ab3.protection.alerts.us.u0 (that's all that the profile allows me to see).
Has anyone else gotten calls or messages from this profile? I'm not sure what to do... and with it being on my IPhone I'm scared! Any thoughts? Comments? Help! I blocked that profile but I'm not sure if there's anything else I should do? WHO is this?

it's a well known and common scam. you can browse other threads in the thread below and you can see that there were also other users who received such calls.

Dear Nick,
Thank you for contacting iTunes Store Support. My name is Noel and I'll be handling your request today.
I understand that you were not able to purchase in-app items from the game "Clash of Clans" when you clearly have enough store credit. I can certainly feel how important it is for you to have this issue resolved. Don't worry, I will be happy to help you get this matter sorted out.
Nick, I've checked your account and I can confirm that you do have $50.91 of store credit on account.
For me to further investigate on the issue, I would like to kindly ask you to reply to this email with a screen shot of the Apple ID that is currently signed in on your iOS device and also the message that you are receiving when trying to purchase in-app items.
Try these steps to see the Apple ID that is currently on your iOS device:
1) Verify that you have access to the internet from your iOS device via Wi-Fi or a cellular network.
2) Tap the Settings icon on your Home screen.
3) Scroll down and tap iTunes & App Stores. The Apple ID that you're signed in with will appear.
To take a screen shot on your iOS device, just follow these steps:
1) Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button at the top of your device, then quickly press the Home button right afterward while still holding the Sleep/Wake button. Your screen flashes and the picture will be added to your Camera Roll.
2) To locate the screen shot, tap Photos and then Camera Roll.
3) Tap on the picture you just took.
4) Tap and hold your finger on the picture.
5) When the Copy button appears, take your finger off the picture and tap the Copy button. The screen shot will be copied to your clipboard.
6) Press the Home button, and then go to Mail and reply to this message.
7) In your reply, tap and hold until the Paste button appears, and then tap the Paste button.
8) Send the message.
Do let me know if there is anything else I can do for you Nick, as I want to ensure that this matter has been resolved. Thank you for being a valued customer of iTunes. You have a good one!
Sincerely,
Noel

You are not being hacked. The link in the email is legitimate.
Do not panic.

How can i delete my itunes account as i think im being hacked, almost every day itunes are taking accessive amounts of money from my account!

Dear Apple support, how can i delete my itunes account as i think im being hacked!! over the past few months a lot of money seems to be taken from my account ranging from as little as £1 to £60... i cant take any more. Can i delete the account? Can u help me plase as i dont know what to do! Regards Teresa

Go into your iTunes account and eliminate the payment method to none. Then change the password. FInally notify iTunes support of your problem. You will find ways to contact iTunes support on this website. Email works very well with iTunes support.
You do not want to delete your account and there is no need to do that to prevent further hacking. The reason is that any purchases of music, Apps, movies or whatever made with your iTunes account will be associated to that account and you can redownload them if you change iPhones, get an iPad or to your computer. If you were able to delete the account, which you cannot do, you would have to repurchase everything.

How can I check if I am being hacked? I think I am!

I am very suspicious that I am being hacked....like the kind where they can watch your screen and see through your webcam. How would I go about checking to see if this is true? Is there a way?
My computer has been freezing up and three times now a message box has popped up with the icon of the yellow triangle with an exclamation point inside, but before I can read what it says or manually close it, it goes away......
Also, I had posted this question before, along with a similar post on here yesterday, and they were beginning to receive comments back, and now they're gone. I haven't deleted anything from here, so does apple remove my posts, or is someone else....?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hacking of webcam control need not be a concern for Mac OS X users.
If you are using Windows, you are wise to be cautious and take every possible precaution against Windows' security weaknesses, whether running on a PC or on a Mac (and whether via OS X Boot Camp or one of the PC emulators that runs inside OS X.)
For OS X Macs, the only way I know to make the webcam "hackable" would be for you (or someone else who had access access to your Mac) to modify or somehow damage your Mac or its software. Unless an "administrator" of your particular Mac has installed, activated, and authorized Apple Remote Desktop or some other software for remotely operating your Mac, it is highly unlikely that anyone can be using your cam without your explicit permission and action. The reliable way to prevent this is to carefully control physical access to your Mac so it cannot be modified.
However, if you are convinced that your Mac has unwanted software that you cannot identify, securely erase your entire startup disk. Then reinstall a fresh copy (not from your backups) of OS X and all necessary apps and updates. Finally, copy your important user data files to the fresh system from your backup to your fresh system.

How can you tell if your computer is being hacked

We got a call this morning from someone at Microsoft stating that our computer is being hacked. I don't trust this notification.

I'm really glad you didn't fall for it. If you had let them into your computer, they would have stolen all your information. It makes me SO mad.

My daughter used her friends apple account to login on her ipad and then the mother of her friend thought it was being hacked and consequently tracked the ipad and my daughter lost all her photos. Can we get these back?

Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device. It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo albums, iCloud Photo Library beta, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.

I logged in to my device in my laptop and I discovered that another device is also connected to my apple ID. When I find my I Phone, I can also view the other device location. Is my account being hacked or hijacked?

I logged in to my device in my laptop and I discovered that another device is also connected to my apple ID. When I find MY I PHONE, I can also view the other device exact location. Is my account being hacked or hijacked? Please help...

I guess you're talking about iCloud? Yes if you can see two devices it would appear that someone else can get into your account. Best change your password.

After installing Reader 11.0.07 update on my iMac OS X, v.10.8.5, when I open an Adobe pdf file I see Chinese script next to the blue loading bar at the bottom of the screen. This never appeared before when downloading pdf files and I am worried that my computer is being hacked into or I acquired a virus. Is this normal or do I have to uninstall this update?

My iPhone is being hacked

So, I've realised that my iPhone is being hacked, how is it possible that someone can hack into my iPhone and call and text people without having my phone with them? How do I stop this? Please help me find a solution to this, I love apple and if this continues I might just have to change my phone. And can the same thing happen on mac books? Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry, but if your phone isn't jailbroken, that can't happen. Share your Apple ID with anyone? Anyone know your Apple ID & password? You might want to change your Apple ID password.

Address book icon is suddenly disappearing. It is now just 1/2 visible. Am I being hacked?

First time I need to ask a question. Am I being hacked? The icon on the bottom of the screen for my Address Book, the little gold symbol, just got tons of lines on it and now has only half the picture visible. When it first happened today, I turned the computer off, did it 2 more times, looked and installed "software updat" but now it is getting smaller and smaller. Am I being hacked, if yes, what do I do?
Thank you.

It's phishing ...
Please forward the email to: [email protected]
Never reply to an email from: "Your AppleCare support center" ... they are trying to hack your Apple iD.
Apple will never send you an email asking you to verify your Apple ID credentials.
If you ever receive an email such as this again. do not reply, do not call. Forward the email to the reportphisihing email address above then delete that email.

HELP! My mums computer is being hacked?

I am not a genius but do think I can tell that my mums macbookpro has got a viris or is being hacked. Lots of strange things have been happening to itand it i getting on my nerves.
Strange things that have happend:
(in order of time they took place)
1. Background changed to defalt mavericks one
2. Background changed to plane light blue and when I went to change it told my the name of the background was ?
3. My mum was buying an itunes card for me on itunes and It told her to type in all her creidit card info (she never has to because on keychain)
4. This morning her computer told me that someone else was useing our ip address (i know the router didint have anything to do because we have never touched it and its fine on my macbookpro)
I know it doesnt seem like much but it should not be happening!!!!
IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOING ON OR HOWTO FIX IT PLEASE HELP ME

Background changed to plane light blue
If the desktop picture always reverts to a plain blue background, one of your login items may be causing the problem. The "TeamViewer" application can have this effect; see this thread. If it's not that in your case, rule out all other third-party login items as possible causes.

If my URL shows my connection as http: instead of https: am I at risk of being hacked? If so, how do I fix it?

A friend on FB said that if my URL box doesn't show as beginning with https: (instead of http:) I am at risk of being hacked. I fixed it for FB but all my other websites are coming up as http:
Is this really something to be concerned about?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure
most sites is http, and all the sites when you redirect you in some payment method(paypal, greditcard etc) reverse to https for maximum secure.

ITUNES ARE BEING HACKED

I CANNOT ACCESS TO THE ITUNES STORE, it doesn´t even let me see what albums are available. I don´t know whats going on it tells me to check my network connection but I am using this computer to post messages here on the apple support but it doesn´t get in to the itunes pages.
Thanks for the no help people

iTunes hacked ? Just do not see how those things are related. There must be just dozens of fora filled with this issue.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4520817#4520817
for example.
You're not alone but most probably your iTunes is not being hacked.
Just out of curiosity, what release of iTunes are you all using ? I'm seeing that most of people having this problem have the 7.1.1 installed (I do).
Ciao

ICloud account been removed because fear of being hacked can anyone help? Thanks

Can anyone help? iCloud account has been removed in the fear of account being hacked!!!
icloud sent me links to try and fix it but keeps coming up error page cannot be found.
could someone advise me what to do
tthanks

It's yet another email scam to try and get your Apple ID and password. I also just learned from Apple last week that an iCloud account is permanently attached to your Apple accout. That is, the same one you used to login and post here. Had your iCloud actually been removed, your ability to post here under that same account would also be gone.
