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 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 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
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 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.
My apple id was synced with a friend's iphone. Now her husband is hacking into my account and causing problems. How can I delete my account or atleast prevent him from getting into my account? I've changed the password but he has somehow made it to sync to his phone as well.
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.
This is my first post so I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong section. My girlfriend has an iphone 4s and an ipad2. Her appleid password has recently been changed without her authorization. Even her security questions have been altered so her original answers are rejected. She's tried using iforgot and the appleid support website but since her info has changed she doesn't receive an email from said site. She called apple support and the tech told her that she would need to pay for support ($69.99) over the phone since it's been 90 days from when she purchased both products.
First post here, but this is the best forum I've found so hope you can give some advice.I received a new iPhone 4 through my employer yesterday, but when I tried to download the employer apps I needed from the Apps Store, I got the message that my iTunes account was disabled and I needed to contact Apple Support.
Although I've not purchased anything through my iTunes account in almost a year, I was notified by Discover Card Fraud division last week that someone had used my credit card to purchase approximately $80 worth of goods through iTunes. (The card was not used for any purchases other than iTunes.) I rarely use this credit card, but it was the one tied to my iTunes account. Luckily, Discover caught the purchase or I would not have known until I received a statement. Anyway, we agreed to immediately shut the account down and they sent me a new card and I thought the issue was resolved.
Before I even hooked up my new phone to the PC, I opened my iTunes account and changed the attached credit card to the new one. Saved with no problems, but when I go to the Apps Store I still receive the same "account disabled" message. I even tested further and cannot purchase anything including music.
So I contacted Apple iPhone Support last night and got a really great support person who became the mediator between me and iTunes Support (since you can't call them). Bottom line, three hours later, the issue was unresolved and remains unresolved today. This is a WORK phone. I am not interested in buying any music, videos, or TV shows. I am simply trying to download my company's free apps from the Apps Store that will setup my email and calendar sync. I even tried to setup a new iTunes account, linked it to my PayPal account, and used a different email, but am still getting the same message. I explained this to Apple Support, they agreed this would not work but were very vague about why.
Totally frustrated, and ready to pack up and return the iPhone, as a last resort I called the Discover Fraud number a little while ago. They tell me that this situation with iTune purchases and stolen credit card numbers is almost at epidemic levels now and has greatly increased over the past few months. Was their customer database breached?
I received an email early this morning from Apple Support telling me they are sorry for the problem and will get back to me as soon as possible, but I just don't understand why this is so hard to fix! Like I said, the bogus purchases were NOT made from my iTunes account so why isn't it sufficient just to change my credit card number and restore the account?
Sorry to sound so frustrated, but I really love this phone and want this to work. I so very much do not want to return to my Blackberry, but I must be able to get my work email, tasks and calendar info.
I have about 5 email addresses setup on my iPhone. However, I only want the badge on the iPhone home screen to display the unread count for my primary email address (instead of adding up all the unread emails in all of my inboxes).
I am receiving incoming email on my iphone but am not able to send out messages. This is a new iphone, and I just attempted to link my AOL email to it.
On iPhone 4s, how do I prevent personal email accounts (yahoo, gmail) from accessing my work email contact list? I want to keep my work contact list private.
I am having email problems. I have several email accounts. I receive email on all of them, but can't send on all of them. Not even a reply. The email accounts that work are gmail and [URL]The accounts that don't send are: 1 account hosted by GoDaddy, and a few accounts on my 2 domains [URL] and [URL] all of these accounts work fine on my laptop via outlook 2007. The place that houses my 2 domains said they don't know why I am having this problem.
i bought my iPhone 4s from messed up my email on my phone so now i cant get apps ive changed my email on here and my password , but my phone still has the old one and when i try and get an app it & i type in my password it says my password is incorrect when it is.
