Spam messages sent to my contacts, no devices on, changed password and no viruses or malware.

Hi Skype Support and Community, this is the second time this is happened and i have followed all the advice in the support forums... I need someone to let me know is there anything else i should to do to fix this or is this a skype issue... Is it worth making a new account? Regard md

I just woke up to this happening to me as well, I'm good about not clicking links but I guess it happened :c I ended up changing my password after running a few virus scans (which picked up nothing :c) to something much harder, apparently my old one was super easy to guess. All the spam messages were sent at 7:30AM, I wasn't even awake, I got woken up to 40 twitter messages saying to change my password lol.

  • Spam message sent to all contacts, devices were off

    I just saw I sent this message:"Hi!" and then a shortened link to all my contacts. I use skype on 3 devices, my main pc was not even plugged in, my surface was in sleep mode and my android phone was in standby. I already changed my password, but what steps do I take to make sure this does not happen again and that my privacy is kept?

  • Contacts and Message not showing names but numbers. Tried changing language and resetting my phone but failed. I am using Starhub in Singapore currently.

    The reset link will show on your account if you have a rescue email address on it, if you only have alternate email addresses then it won't show.
    If the country where you and your iTunes account are isn't on this page (you need to be in a country to use its store) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    then you can try contacting support via this page and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have a rescue email address, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • HT5622 Apple ID has been disabled--changed password and payment method. Same message. What do I do now?

    After a false charge, my Apple ID was disabled.  I changed the payment method and my password and I can use these in some places but when I try to buy a new app I still get the Apple ID has been disabled message. How do I fix this?

    Hello Rubydear,
    I would be concerned too if I was not able to access my Apple ID.  I found some resources that I think will help.
    First, I recommend reviewing the following article:
    Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2446
    If you are not able to gain access to your account after following the steps in that article, I recommend using the following link for additional assistance in accessing your Apple ID:
    Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Trying to export from FCP 10.0.9 to YouTube, I get error message: no linked youtube account. It worked until yesterday, then stopped working. I tried changing passwords and accounts, but no help.

    This is the story. Up until two days ago, when I completed a video project in Final Cut  Pro 10.0.9, I went to file->share->YouTube and a window opened up that showed the name of my YouTube account - (e.g., account.name) which is the same as the name of my gmail account. I then clicked 'next' and was asked for the password for that account. Upon supplying that and clicking next/publish, the uploading began.
    Then suddenly, this procedure no longer worked. When I supplied the password, I got a message saying:
    'NoLinkedYouTubeAccount'. Following online advice, I changed my account name from account.name to [email protected] and supplied the password. Still no good. I then changed the password in that account and tried both ways again. Still no good. I then opened up a new gmail account with a new password and tried that both ways. Still no good. I've tried following other online advice but nothing works. When I go to youTube, I see both accounts listed so they are there but the link doesn't get made. I've tried uploading several different videos, but it makes no difference. The videos I've uploaded previously to YouTube are there and functioning OK.
        Help would be much appreciated!

    When I asked about codecs I was thinking of conflicts that FCP might have with one that would have been installed from a third party vendor…
    It would seem to be something at the system level since all the user-specific fixes appear to have had no effect. And you've already tried a comprehensive list of the suggestions that I would have thought of…and probably more.
    You didn't mention available disk space but I assume you checked that as well and you have at least 15% free on your start-up and media drives.
    Has any version of FCPX performed for you as expected in the past?
    When you uninstalled the app, by any chance did you use FCS Remover? If you didn't, give it a try.

  • HT4528 I am trying to download free apps on my iphone4 and it keeps telling me that username or password is incorrect. I have gone through the process of changing password and I still get the message.

    I am trying to download free apps on my iphone4 and it keeps telling me that forgot username or password. I have reset password and I still keep getting that message.

    Try to take a look at the top right corner on iTunes. Does it say "Sign In" or "Apple ID" like [email protected]

  • Firefox sync error, changed password and on other devices the new password keeps giving me an error.

    Okay so I have several Linux devices in sync and one of them is synced also with a Microsoft 8 and the latest updates of Firefox. All of them are updated to the lastest. I had to change my password becaue for some odd reason the pass I wrote down was not being registered in my computer. Now because of that I had to change it for all of the other devices and none of them are detecting the new firefox password change. It just seems like a round circle where I change pass, and I have to continue to do that but each device wants to do the same thing.
    What could be done is there some bug with respect to this!? Thanks.

    Please let me confirm what you are saying: when you change the password on one device, all of the other devices connected to the account are not disconnected and continue syncing?
    [Bug 987719 - If user changes FXA password as Syncing client, don't kick them out of Sync]- this is outdated I think*
    Do the other devices ever prompt you for a new password? And if you check about:sync-logs are there any errors after the time you changed the password on one of the devices?
    Edit* ignore this post, though these are the steps we would take if there is a bug for future reference.

  • Spam emails sent from my contacts

    Recently 2 sets of spam emails were sent using my email address to people in my contact list.  All reciepients were in my contact list, my mail sent box does not show these emails as outbound from my computer.  The only other option is it was from my BlackBerry curve.
    Is there malware or a virus that could have sent them form my iMac?

    It is very very unlikey that this happened because of some malware on your mac.  There are no viruses on macs .  It is most likely that someone hacked into your email provider.  It hasn't happened to me, but I know of a lot of people that has happend to.  You should probably contact your email provider to get more details.  also, check on the links to the threads listed in the box on the right "More Like This".  Some of them may be a little bit dated, but might give you some helpful information as well.

  • How do I set up my iPhone to show message alerts on my locked screen only for messages sent by my contacts?

    iPhone now is able to show you messages received even though the screen is locked. This is time efficient. But I do not want to see messages on the locked screen from people who are not in my contacts list. I tried going to settings>notifications>messages> but only saw view in lock screen for all messages. Is there a way to see messages on the locked screen from people only in my contact list? I appreciate it.

    Which adaptor? What kind of LCD?
    Normally, all you have to do is attach the appropriate cable to your laptop, connect it to your other monitor/screen, and make sure the monitor is powered, turned on, and has the correct input (if it has multiple inputs). For example, a monitor might have DVI and VGA, and an "input switcher" to select which one you want.

  • When I try to sign in to my Yahoo email using Firefox on my Mac 10.0, I receive an "Invalid ID and Password" message that makes me sign in with a new password, and then I have to go through this again next time. Help

    I have already cleared the cookies and the cache. The problem does not seem to be with Yahoo, but with Firefox. No other browser causes me this problem.

    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

  • When replying to an email with � in the message it sends blank but when forwarding it changes to and goes threw fine

    I dont understand what Thunderbird is doing. This happens when replying to a quote with a ® within the email. Forwarding it keeps it as a ® but just hitting reply it changes to � and sends a blank email.

    You see the � (&amp;#xfffd;) when an 8 bit encoding like ISO-8859-1 is selected.<br />
    It would normally be sufficient to select Unicode (UTF-8) to see the real character.
