Someone has hacked into my account and sending emails (iCloud) pretending to be me.  I've changed my icloud password.  Do i need to do anything else?

You should consider enabling two-factor verification on your Apple ID, to further protect it. Without doing that, it's entirely possible that a hacker who gains access to your account in the future could take control of your Apple ID away from you entirely.
You also should consider whether any confidential information might be stored in iCloud. If you have made the mistake of putting a list of passwords in the Notes app, for example, that list should be considered compromised, and all passwords should be changed (and removed from the Notes app).
If you used the same password as your old iCloud password for other accounts, you need to change the password on all those accounts.
You should also alert your contacts that your e-mail was compromised, so that they are cautious about trusting any attachments supposedly coming from you. Keep in mind that the spammer can continue to "spoof" your e-mail address on the From line of new e-mail messages, even without access to your e-mail account.

  • Can someone hack into your ipad and send emails?

    there is an email in my sent (yahoo) mail that says "sent from ipad" but i didn't send it. how is that possible?

    There is no way to remotely control the iPad. If your Yahoo account was hacked, someone may have picked up one of your more recent emails sent from the iPad, and used the same signature. "Sent from iPad" is just a line of text that is put in there by default by Apple, but can easily be replicated or copied (or changed).

    Dear Wendy Ott,
    Your Apple ID, [email protected], was just used to download 胡莱三国 for iPad from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
    If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
    If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
    Regards,
    Apple

  • SOMEONE HAS HACKED MY REWARDZONE ACCOUNT

    Someone has hacked my rewardzone account.  They changed the phone number on the account, and have used the account to purchase 2 tablets.  Fortunately the credit card used is not one I (knowingly) own.  In fact I just checked a free credit report and don't see the credit card there.  Still this is very disconcerting.  I called BestBuy customer service but they were of little help.  Why would someone do this?!  I only had $5 in rewards in the account.

    Hello menglehart,
    Welcome to the Best Buy forum, and thank you for connecting with us.
    I can imagine your surprise and the concern you may have felt when you saw a purchase that you did not make displayed in your My Best Buy™ account.  With the growing concern over identity theft nowadays, it is understandable to cautious.  I looked over your account using the email address you registered with the forum and it would appear to me that everything should be fine.
    As CrystalWoW mentioned, your personal credit card information is separate from your My Best Buy™ account.  Do any family members have access to your account?  The last name for the person that placed the order and the last name on the credit card used match your last name.  The email address that was used and the shipping address appear to be similar as well.
    I would like to go over your My Best Buy™ account with you in greater detail and make sure the information associated with your account is up-to-date, so I will be sending you a private message.  To check your private messages, you will want to login to the forum and click on the little yellow envelope icon located at the top of the page.  I look forward to further speaking with you.
    I hope you have a wonderful day!

  • Why does my android message me that someone has logged into my account? how do I make it stop.

    Don't know what I pressed but everytime I log in to Firefox (which is about 100 times a day) My phone gives me a message
    that someone has logged into my account. Make it stop.

    Hi arsthegreat:
    I don't understand what happened. Clarification please:
    # What do you mean by "log in to Firefox". Do you mean login to your Firefox account? or do you mean log in to some other site. If it's not a Firefox account than it's probably not a Firefox issue.
    # What do you mean by "My phone gives me a message that someone has logged into my account.". Do you mean text message? or an email? or someting else
    # Any further info on what version of Firefox, what version of Android and what you did, what happened, what you expected would be super helpful.
    Cheers!

  • Someone has hacked into my ipad!

    I've been having problems with my password and I've had to reset it several times. Now someone has hacked in and downloaded a game in my ipad! How do I contact apple to get a refund for the price of the game? More importantly how can I stop this happening again?

    Nobody has hacked your iPad.
    Someone, somehow has got the password to your AppStore account, downloaded an app using your account, and you have Automatic Downloads turned on in your iPad.
    First thing is to login to your AppleID/AppStore account and change the password to something VERY secure and don't share it with anyone.
    Then contact iTunes Support and tell them what happened.

  • Im having concerns with privacy/security on my browser and settings. Someone seems to have hacked into my account and changes all my settings;

    So someone seems to have hockey my browser and has changed all my settings in my Firefox someone seems to be able to uninstall my firefox browser and change all my settings and pair my mobile phone to a computer through Firefox to sync all my information my mobile to computer that I have not done I don't own a computer just think my information to sync my information. Do you have any suggestions about what I should do on this ? I don't know where to go or turn on the security issue. thank you

    Is your Firefox for Android currently connected to a Firefox Sync account? If so, you should find a Firefox account in your Android accounts list, and you can remove it. Please see the last section of this article: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync#w_remove-an-android-device-from-firefox-sync
    I'm not sure whether this is one of the settings that is part of your Google account, but if you are not sure how secure your Google account is, you definitely should change that password and/or check Google's suggestions on next steps.

  • Can i get my money back after someone hacked into my account and bought something with it?

    I got an email telling me that someone in another country used my Appstore account to purchase something. I checked my bank statement to see if this was a hoax message but it is true as I can see the same amount from the same country withdrawn from my bank account.
    I changed my Apple ID password afterwards, but is there anything I can do/that Apple can do to get the money back that was stolen from me?

    Your best bet is to work with your bank to get them to reverse the charges by filing a fraud complaint.

  • Is someone hacking into your account and stealing your money common?

    I lost $64 cause someone did it to me... It ***** a little bit is there anyway of proving it wasn't you and getting your money back. Or at least finding the blighter that stole my money...

  • Someone hacked into my account and used up my credit of $50

    I received an email that someone made a purchase using a device that was not associated with my account.  Then I see that someone bought a game for $49.99, using up my $50  credit from a gift card.  I changed my password. Do I need to do something more?  I contacted apple about a refund but have not heard back yet.

    Did you follow the instructions here  >  How to report an issue with iTunes Store purchases
    If so, you should receive an email confirmation since you have reported the unauthorized purchase in approximately 24 to 48 hours.
