Seems like somebody is using/hacking my account?

Hi,
I've been using Skype and it has kept turning me online occasionally whilst I am invisible, I've tried to find solutions such as turning off promotions and disabling uPnP (as I saw looking at people with similar problems). I recently learnt that to other people even when I don't have skype running on my computer that people see me as online, or away. When I go onto skype (automatically as invisible) I go invisible to other people, but as soon as I quit skype I return back to away.
I am concerned about this and I have changed my password also, but it is still happening. Today whilst I was making a call, the ringing tone stayed during the call and even after I quit skype and I couldn't find anything in processes but it still kept ringing! (It eventually subsided).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Possible security problem with my iPhone4, it seems like it has been hacked into and my hotmail, facebook and university accounts (which all have different passwords) and proceed to change my passwords on me. This has happened twice.

    I seem to be having security problems with my iPhone4, it seems like someone has hacked into my hotmail, facebook and university accounts (which all have different passwords) and proceed to change my passwords on me. This has happened twice and I have not left my phone unattended at any time that I can recall nor have I accessed these accounts from another source (i.e. computer/laptop) since changing my passwords after the first hacking occurred. Please help.

    Anyone else at your university complaining about the same thing?  It is more likely someone is stealing passwords by sniffing traffic over the university wifi or with a man-in-the-middle attack or by other means external to your phone.  Try a Google search on "steal password" (without quotes) or "steal SSL password" and you'll learn more than you wanted to know about how passwords get stolen.

  • Blue Screen- seems like random logon/off of user account

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new Macbook Pro (at the end of November) and have had this problem occur a couple of times. I'll be on it and it the screen will turn blue for a couple of seconds and then my desktop pops back up like I've just logged on. It's like I've logged off and on my user account and closed all my applications in the process. The first time it happened was several weeks ago and the blue screen appeared just after I opened the computer up after it had been closed. Every time I went down to the dock, I would get the blue screen. I restarted it and it seemed to be fixed. However, I experienced the same problem again tonight. It happened several times and at one point the only application running was Safari. Again, it was after the computer had been closed and again, I shut it down and it hasn't happened again. I'm going to call Apple tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone else knew what was happening. I have no experience dealing with computer problems so don't know what to look for to tell me what is happening. I did try searching for old threads on the topic but couldn't find anything.

    So, to be clear, it will "logout" in two situations (and not prior to 10.6.5):
    1. After leaving the computer unattended for a while, it will awake with the blue screen (not the "death screen", that's a different issue).
    2. In a memory intensive, or several apps open,situation, a new command will trigger the logout. I've always run that style without issue.
    Not a shutdown since there is no grey screen, and blue continue to normal desktop.
    Not a restart since there is no grey screen or chime.
    Not a kernel panic since no alert and grey screen, etc. Also note that there is no memory loss in your browsers so it is a calm logout that saves during the process, crashes remember several pages before the event, not the last one. Applications seem to save to the last second as well although it hasn't happened while writing a document so I don't know (I save at almost every breath anyway while writing).
    No difference from increasing RAM to max.
    No difference from several restarts (a process that used to clear memory blocks, don't really know if it's still relevant with the newer architecture). Anyway, it's a random event so hard to blame a memory issue (i.e., it's not repeatable).
    No difference from standard troubleshooting processes, permissions, resets.
    There are a lot of complaints about this issue but most people don't see it as a logout issue. Probably because they are single users. However, reading the restart and blue screen issues, tells me that they are discussing the same issue.

  • My email for imessage wont work because it says somebody is using it when their not

    My imessage wont let me use one of my emails i have been imessaging people of off, it says somebody is using the imessage account when nobody is.

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is probably messed up. <br />
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />

  • Seems like a new modified url hack is back to reset passwords

    Was doing some studies.
    http://www.macrumors.com/2013/03/22/apple-id-security-hole-allows-password-reset -with-email-address-and-date-of-birth/
    Seems this situation is back. For the past couple months, my recovery email kept getting the message about how to reset your password. Thing is, I never requested it, nor did anyone get into my email address, since if a new device tries, I get a text message confirmation. So.. now then, skip to today. I get that apple thing again, and then later my main email gets a notice that 2 apps were downloaded (Free ones at least) So thats when I learned apple added a 2 step verification etc.. so I just enabled those and changed everything out and called in to verify nothing else bad happened.
    So yea, reading the above link.. seems to suggest a way has been found again to change a password and gain access without actually getting into an email account to process it.

    There are many ways for people to hack an account that don't involve a vulnerability like the old one described in that article. (In other words, there's no reason whatsoever to believe that another similar vulnerability exists.)
    You could be using an easily-guessed password that falls to a brute-force attack by a botnet. Someone targeting your account specifically may be able to guess the password after doing some "cyber-stalking" (reading publicly-available information about you on Facebook, Twitter, etc). You could fall for a phishing scam and give away your password willingly to an attacker. Someone could surreptitiously look over your shoulder while you type the password. If you're using Windows (much less likely on a Mac, though still technically possible, and not possible on iOS), you could have malware capturing your keystrokes.
    This is why it's important to use strong passwords, and to use a password manager to avoid having to enter passwords manually. And to be vigilant about making sure you don't get infected with anything.

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

    I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

    Both accounts are completely independent from each other. In order to use the space that you have purchased for your secondary account, you must change it to become your primary account. Yes, as you said, services like photo stream only work with the primary account. Unfortunately, there is no comfortable way to just transfer data from one account to another one, but you can do it via a third party application e.g. via Dropbox: e.g. for photos: photos stored with your current primary account > manual transfer to dropbox > after you made your secondary account to the primary account,  transfer the photos back to your new primary account etc.

  • Home with multiple user/screen name Mac. ATV can only access the library of the person using the computer? Seems like a HUGH flaw??

    We have a Mac that is set up to allow multiple users with their own log in and settings. (imagine a family of four).  So if my wife sits down at the Mac to work. Then I can't access my iTunes library though the apple tv because my screen name and iTunes has to be shut down!! Seems like a huge oversight in the device?! Is there a way around this? Seems like it makes the apple TV nearly useless unless for a multiple person household.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You don't need to shut down your user account for your wife or anyone else to use their user account.
    If it isn't already set, go to system preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options and check 'Show fast user switching'. Then from the top RH corner of the menu bar you can switch between users at will.
    Keeping a user account logged in should enable its iTunes library on the Apple TV.
    (Note, I've never tried this with non admin accounts)

  • PrintWriter Solution to Flushing (seems like a hack tho)

    All,
    I have been trying to write a XSS filter. The filtering was the easy part. For some reason, when I overload getWriter() in HttpServletResponseWrapper and return my own writer, the final buffer is not being flushed.
    Here is what I have experienced. The following line of code was my first attempt:
    return new PrintWriter(new XssPreventOutputStream(out));Nada. When I place debug statements in my output stream (which extends ServletOutputStream), the final buffer is never even passed to write(byte[], int, int). So, I extended PrintWriter and overloaded the following:
    public void write(char[] buffer, int offset, int length) {
       super.write(buffer, offset, length);
       super.flush();  // Why do I have to do this?  This is what smells funny to me
    }Placing an additional call to flush() in close() does nothing. I seem to have to flush() on every write(char[], int, int) in my overloaded PrintWriter. Am I doing something wrong? BTW, the custom output stream I wrote does nothing (yet):
    public final void write(final byte[] buffer, final int offset, final int length)
              throws IOException {
              System.err.println("DEBUG >>> write(byte[] int, int) : \r\n" + new String(buffer, offset, length));
              out.write(buffer, offset, length);
         }I'm sure there is something so obviously simple it is completely escaping me right now. I just feel that issuing flush() after every write(char[], int, int) is a hack.
    Thanks!
    - Saish

    Thanks for the replies. If I overload close() and place debugging statements in there, it is being called. I am overloading the PrintWriter returned by ServletResponse#getPrintWriter(). So, I do not really have explicit control (nor do I think I should) when Struts is being used.
    Another oddity, not sure if it will help, but I do see debugging messages that flush() is also being called, to no effect unless I place the flush in write(char[], int, int), which to me seems like a mistake. (Sorry if this is too vague).

  • I have been using icloud for itunes and aps purchases, but now I would like to create a new icloud account so that my calendars sync without having to plug in ... how do I do this, as my phone won't let me change the icloud account

    My husband and I have been using our iCloud account for music and ap purchases only.  I have decided that i would like to now create a new icloud account so that i can sync my calendar and contacts.  I read about doing this online and it looks simple and easy ... and yet, when i go to switch it on my iphone, there is only 1 place for an icloud account (our shared account) and it is greyed out so that I cannot change it.  How do I do this?

    Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings.  Be sure to turn it off.
    You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account.  You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
    To create a new icloud account, go to
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account.  (have restrictions turned off)  That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices.  Then sign in using the new ID.

  • Always used 1 main account.  Started using individual user accounts. So how do I use software or applications with a lot of data like Quicken under my own user account?

    I recently upgraded our family's mac to OS X.  I thought this was the perfect time to create and use "user accounts".  We had always used 1 main account.  So how do I use software or applications with a lot of data like Quicken under my own user account?  I wanted to be able to manage my own itunes library, iphone apps, messages.  But I still really need to use the Stuff I have in Quicken essentials.  I don't want to have to restart all my work done in Quicken already.

    I haven't used Quicken in a while, but most applications store your files in your Documents folder. Is that where your Quicken data file is? What you do next depends on how many family members need to get at that data.
    If multiple family members need to use the Quicken data file, try moving it to the Documents folder in the Shared account. That is an account that all accounts can see. It's at the same level as the other accounts. In other words, Shared is one level up from your Home account, or Hard Drive/Users/Shared.
    If you're the only one allowed to see that Quicken data, move the Quicken data file from the old main account to your account, and don't leave a copy behind. You can use the Shared folder as a way station for the transfer since you won't be able to see both accounts' Documents folders at the same time (because you're not allowed to peek into other people's accounts). Or you can use another disk or server for the transfer, as long as you can get to it when logged into either account.

  • I have activated 2 iPhones using my iTunes account, but I now would like to take one iPhone off this account, and start its own iTunes "pairing" in order to back up, without cross syncing between purchases, how can I do this?

    I have activated 2 iPhones using ONE iTunes account, but I would now like to remove one iPhone from the account and add it to a new iTunes account. This is so that I can back it up without cross syncing between purchases/apps on both iPhones.
    Whats the best method for this?
    I'm running Windows 7
    Many thanks

  • I have an ipod touch but i don't have enough memory and 0I get an upgrade soon for my phone and i want the iphone but the thing is, can i have an ipod touch and an iphone on the same itunes account like can i use my money on my ipod account for my iphone

    Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account.  Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices.  You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

  • I am unable to change or delete my iCloud ID, it is prompting sign in using an old email address that used to be my Apple ID, others have had this same problem but the answer seems to be to delete the iCloud account but I can't do that.

Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
