BB Torch :: Email Account Is Getting Hacked When Logged In?
Oct 8, 2011
My email accounts are getting hacked continously from past 5 days. I have accessed my email accounts from 2 pc's, one from my home pc and one from my office pc, and this are hotmail and yahoo email account. I have also configured my email account on my blackberry 9800 torch. Surprisingly, when first time my email account was hacked I received information about my account from alternate email id, and I safely reset my hotmail password but am still able to receive email on my blackberry. So, if I had reset my email address then in my blackberry 9800, shouldnt it ask for password to login to the email, since i reset it. The same incident has happened for past 3 times and I dont have clue whether its the blackberry (RIM) service problem or the Vodafone carrier that I am using, since vodafone might be getting all the information related to my email account and its password, when I login on blackberry?
I was quite happily enjoying a new episode of Fringe when suddenly I had an email saying my Apple account password had been changed along with lots of billing information. After resetting my account, a lot of my details have been changed, namely to an address in the US (I live in the UK), the phone number has changed (to a US number) and apparently credit card information.
Anyone know who I have to contact to get this looked into? I am really stressing and it seems that I just cannot find an email address or telephone number for customer support - just sales! It seems like 2 apps were downloaded to my iPhone and iPad - haypi dragon and galaxy empire both free to download but have big in app purchases...
Tried searching the site but for some reason my iPhone isn't letting me type in the search bar. Anyway I just got sent this link http://thenextweb.com/apple/2010/07/...-store-hacked/ apparently the app store has been hacked? Just putting this put there so people know they may need to change their password etc. It seems to only be effecting the US accounts.
My Z5 compact does not backup any more. I want to automatick backup daily to online account, but in "where to store files" it says "Online account Not logged in". And then I push it, nothing changes. I have tried to restart phone. What to do?
I think that my iphone4 was hacked via email. I did make the mistake of clicking on a link in an email. I then noticed that the phone would not switch off so I restored it from the cloud. Once I had done this I was asked to enter my password for my iCloud account. In addition to this I was asked for a password for a mystery hotmail account. I then reset the phone to factory setting which seams to have solved any problems. Is it possible to hacked and iPhone via email if the phone has not already been jailbrocken.
I am trying to figure this one out. Can my Blackberry be hacked.My husband recently received a spam email that appeared to be from my yahoo account. The interesting part was that the other names on the "sent" to list were other email contacts of mine. That's fine but I don't keep a contact list on Yahoo. And I have 1000's of contacts in outlook.The mailing list on this email was much more selective. When I examined my blackberry, the emails that are currently cached in my blackberry were the only email addresses used in these spam email distribution lists! So it looks to me like my blackberry emails currently on my blackberry were somehow hacked and the addressed extracted from these emails alone.is this possible?? there were only about 10 email addresses in this spam email. And there was no record of any "sent" spam messages inside my Yahoo account. So it doesn't look my yahoo account was compromised
I recently opened an attachment on my iphone 4s which came through my email account - my email account is now compromised and have had to change all of my passwords into my email account. How can I run a check on my phone to ensure that any of my other accounts, ie amazon etc have not been compromised. is there a virus checker for Iphone 4s?
I have a question. In my address book for my contacts it says synchronize using: email@email.com That email address has been hacked. How do I change it? I would guess this would also get rid of the multiple address book contacts for each person also.
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.
I am trying to change my email settings as i changed my email account. When i go to "Setup", "Email Accounts", then click on "Internet Mail Account", it simply circulates back to "Email Accounts". It keeps doing this repeatedly. I have done a soft and hard reset (by removing battery) and have updated software but nothing seems to help.
After a short time on an Android device (which I quickly got rid of) I am now back on a BlackBerry. I used to have a Bold, now I have a Torch.Now the problem is the following: on the Bold I had one BES email (I am the IT Manager of my company) and three BIS accounts (private mails).I moved the BES account on the Torch, no problem, but the three BIS accounts do not move for some reason.
I go to Setup=>Email accounts and the device reports correctly that "A new BlackBerry device has been detected. you mustmove email account(s) to resume email delivery to your BlackBerry device. Email delivery to your old device has been stopped."Following the list of three email accounts I want on the Torch.
I click "Move" and for any single email I have a screen that says "Device change successful. Validate your email account"I type email password for each account, click "continue", receive the message "Your password has been successfully validated.", click OK and exit setup and nothing happens.I still have the BES account but there is no trace of the three BIS accounts.I go back to Setup and the procedure starts again from the beginning.I am on Vodafone UK and the three email accounts are on Apple MobileMe (@me.com)
Last night my phone kept rejecting my password which caused a security wipe out on my phone. Surprisingly my 2 email addresses were still on the phone when I tried to set up my email account via the set up option. everytime I entered the passwords to my email accounts I keep getting a message saying "sorry, unable to continue your session it does not give ne the option to delete these accounts and re-enter them and now I am unable to use my email on my phone.
It would seem there is a bug in 6.0 Bundle 2647. I go into setup/email ccounts/internet email. After selecting internet email, it simply returns o the setup dialog. I cannot seem to get to a screen where I can delete my gmail account
I had a message from Blackberry asking me to verify my email 3 days ago while all these problems with Blackberry were happening. When I go into email account I'm asked for my user name and paassword. Blackberry doesn't seem to recognize these any more, so now myemail has completely disappeared from my Blackberry (Torch 8900 with latest 6.00 update on it). I've spent over 2 hours trying all sort of things, including the '3 steps' thingy, but I can't do step 2, and it's still asking me for my username and password which it doesn't like!
It was working fine earlier but all of the sudden my sms's had started to come up in the email account set. How do I remove that, I have not even checked the show text messages icon in the inbox management. I am using bb torch.
An old gmail account shows up on my Torch 9800 in Setup-->Email Accounts as an Enterprise Account. It also appears as an Enterprise Activation icon on my Torch screen. Finally, it appears on Contacts-->Select Contact List. This gmail account was once on my Torch as an Internet Mail Account, but I deleted the account (from gmail and from the Torch). It no longer exists as far as Google is concerned. It never was and never should never have been an Enterprise Account, and I don't know how it became one. How can I completely wipe this gmail account from my Torch?
I used the 'arset' command recommended on this forum 2 weeks ago to delete an old gmail contact list from my Torch 9800. It worked. I had already deleted the gmail account itself from the Blackberry. While I was at it, I used arset to delete a couple of other old contact lists. It all worked beautifully until I realized there were some contacts on one of those old lists that I needed. So this morning I did a restore of my device from prior to using arset. The problem now is that the old email address I had deleted is back on the device home screen but does not appear in the list of email accounts on my device, even though in Setup it shows "Email Accounts (3)", Only two are in the actual list. So how can I delete the account if it doesn't appear in the list of email accounts?
I cannot connect to my email account on my Torch. To do so I need to log in. I keep getting a message that I cannot connect to the server. It is possible that I am using the wrong username or password. Is there anyway I can access this info from my computer?
Blackberry sent a message it could not authenticate account password and e-mail. It is same account, password and e-mail as it has been for last two years. IT guy says change to Iphone or Android - less interface problems.
Have followed directions to a "T" and it still says "invalid e-mail address or password." IT guy confirms both still same and I can still access e-mail by laptop. In putted server host etc'' just as requested.At a loss as to how to set up e-mail FYI - yahoo and Google set up seamlessly just not with outlook. Have not had issue for past two years.
I have recently synchronised my old Blackberry curve with my new Blackberry torch and unfortunately an old defunct email account has been transferred across - there was no way of removing this prior to the transfer.I have created a new email account and receive emails to this address, however, when I try to send an email, I have the option of chosing which account I use to send this from. I can cope with this, but what I cannot do is forward a received email onto someone else as my phone just appears to automatically select the old email address as the default one and I no longer have this email account. I cannot remove this from my phone as when I have tried to "delete an email address" the old address is not shown anywhere no matter where I have looked.
I have set up a new email account on my phone but the old one still appears as an icon etc. I have read forums about deleting the old email by going to:Options ---> Device ---> Advanced System Settings ---> Service bookBut somehow the old email has a padlock icon next to it and cannot be deleted. It says, 'The service record cannot be deleted due to your Firewall settings. Contact your wireless service provider for more information.'Could somebody advise me further because
I cannot set up a particular email which is a yahoo email. I was successfully able to setup other yahoo emails. I remember that this particular email was linked to a former blackberry which was stolen about 19 months ago. Now I have another blackberry on another network service provider and it keeps saying update failed. I am starting to suspect that perhaps the email is still linked to that blackberry ....
I have a blackberry that belonged to my wife and I am now going to use it. I have reset the factory settings and tried to register my email account on the phone. When doing this I get an error message that says, 'the user names is invalid. A user name must be 4 characters or more'. I wasnt provided with the email company providers to select from as usually happens and my username is more than 4 characters.
