Hacked account - when is it even once?

My account was hijacked over the weekend. This morning, I changed the password. But my account is really safe now? My friends are flooding me messages, concerned about my account.

Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
NOT only the answer to the address.

=============================================

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.

  • Worry not that my account was hacked, or my stolen device found once more.

    I received an email from auto to Heathrow Airport has sent to my email from Apple yesterday, account while at the point I was in Asia. It's either my hacked account, or a long lost ipad/iphone/computer laptop is turned on.

    Do you know what email address to Apple I can contact to find the device that got connected and received the email from Heathrow Airport?

    Thank you.

    Hello, N.Dingo.

    It seems that you are affected by a message about a stolen iOS device. The following Knowledge Base article provides information and additional links regarding the protection of your account and your tracking device:

    If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen

    If you lose your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch or think it might be stolen, these steps may help you to find and protect your data.

    If find my iPhone is turned on, you can use it to find your device. If find my iPhone isn't on, change your passwords and the report of the missing device.

    If you find my iPhone turned on your missing device

    You can use Find My iPhone to find your device and to take additional measures that can help you recover and protect your data.

    1. Login to icloud.com/find on a Mac or PC, or use the find my iPhone app on another iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
    2. Find your device. Open find my iPhone, and then select a device to see its location on a map. If the device is nearby, you can have it play a sound to help you or someone nearby to find.
    3. Activate the Mode lost. Use the lost Mode, you can lock your device with a four-digit coderemotely, display a personalized message with your phone number on the lock screen of your missing device and keep track of the location of your device. If you have added maps to pay Apple to debit or credit, the ability to make payments using Apple pay on the device is suspended when you put your device in Mode lost.

  • Report your lost or stolen to the local police unit. Law enforcement could ask the serial number of your device. Find the serial number of your device.
  • Erase your device. To prevent anyone to access data on your missing device, you can erase it remotely. When you wipe your device, all of your information (including credit or debit to pay Apple) will be removed from the device, and you won't be able to find it using find my iPhone. After you delete a device, you cannot follow him. If you remove the device from your account after you delete it, locking Activation will be switched off. This allows someone else to activate and use your device.
  • If you use the sharing of family, any family member can help locate the device missing by another Member. Check your member of the family connect you to iCloud with their Apple ID, and you can find any device associated with this family sharing account.

    What to do if your iOS device is turned off or offline?

    If your missing device is turned off or offline, you can still implement this Mode lost, lockor remote wipe. The next time your device is online, these measures will take effect. If you remove the device from your account while it is offline, pending actions for the device will be cancelled.

    How to disable or cancel lost Mode?

    You can disable lost Mode by entering the access code on your device. Alternatively, you can disable the Mode lost on iCloud.com or the find my iPhone app.

    If find my iPhone is not activated on your missing device

    If you do not enable find my iPhone before your device has been lost or stolen, you can not use it to locate your device. However, you can use the following steps to help protect your data:

    1. Change your password on Apple ID. By changing your Apple ID password, you can prevent anyone to access your iCloud data or using other services (such as iMessage or iTunes) from your missing device.
    2. Change the passwords of other internet accounts on your device. This might include email, Facebook, or Twitter accounts.
    3. Report your lost or stolen to the local police unit. Law enforcement could ask the serial number of your device. Find the serial number of your device.
    4. Report your lost device to your mobile phone service provider. Your carrier can deactivate the account, preventing the use of data, texts and phone calls.

    Find my iPhone is the only way that you can follow or locate a lost device or missing. If find my iPhone is not activated on your device until missing, there is no other service from Apple that can find, follow or flag, otherwise your device for you.

    Thank you for reaching out to the communities of Apple Support.

    Kind regards.

  • e-mail is not downloaded for all account when I click get mail

    When I opened TBird it downloads the e-mail from my old default account only. This problem started when I added a second account and it's my fault. Once that TBird is open if I click on "Get the message" l Thunderbird gets my email to my old defaultaccount only. I have to click on to get the Messages and use the arrow to select each account. For more info, I use a global Inbox and all of my mail goes to 'Local Folders'. If I remember well when I started using TBird somewhere in account settings, there is a checkbox that says download or pick up the mail account when getting mail. (Something to that effect. from TBird v2 or so.) I couldn't find this option when I searched for it in the account settings, I have TBird 37...

    Help to remedy this problem frustrating would be greatly appreciated.

    Accounts become inactive if you don't sign no more than 365 days VIA the WEB BROWSER or within the first 10 days after signing


    Once an account becomes inactive, all messages, folders, etc., are removed. Incoming messages will be sent to the sender as being undeliverable.
    Your account name is still reserved.
      During this time you will not be able to re - use the same name of e-mail.

    However, if the account stays inactive for a further 90 days, the account name may be permanently deleted.

    If you are not using your Windows Live ID for 365 days, your Windows Live ID account is permanently deleted.  Once the account is marked as active in all data is purged, so even if you could get the return e-mail account data would be gone...
  • Cannot get into account when traveling

    Are there not sort, as with credit cards, we can tell you that we will travel if you don't block us.  I don't have a phone that works outside of the USA so how the * can I get a code if I can't get into my email.  Please do not ask a lot of questions about what system I use because I don't really know.  I like to use Hot Mail as used to be so easy anywhere in the world but now you seem to make it impossible! And SO frustrating!

    Hi Ray,

     
    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    I understand how it would be frustrating when a certain feature is modified with Outlook.com let me help you how to connect to your account when you travel.

    The verification code required when you connect from an unknown location or machine is a feature of security relating to your account. This is to ensure that no one can easily connect to an account other than the account owner.

    If you travel very often so I suggest you to generate the recovery code.

    This recovery code can be used to validate your account whenever you connect from another location instead of validate by email address or phone number.

    To generate a recovery, please follow the steps below.
    1. go to Account.live.com with your email address and password.
    2. click on Security and password in the menu on the left side.
    3. once validate the account, click on generate recovery code .
    4. it will provide you with a 16 or 20-digit code which can be used the N number of times to access your
    account.

    Note: It is necessary to have an e-mail address and updated phone number when a security information, you can change or update the information at any time by connect you to account.live.com.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones IMAP BB IP address access Gmail account when BB turns off

    Hi all

    New to the forum so if I during the stage, the mark please let me know!

    I have a 9790 "BOLD" from BB. Every night I have disable all connections (broadband, network, bluetooth, NFC) and turn off my phone.  I have my phone also locked so no one can use it without my password. There, a bit OTT on the side of the safety of things, but that's me.

    My problem is that even if my BB is disconnected from any network, etc., a BB IMAP access my gmail UK e-mail account! I know this cos when I check the offending IP address belongs too had a Blackberry, but not only that, it is the same IP that my BB uses when it is actually running.

    I think that someone accessing my e-mail account with a BB even though I keep changing my password by e-mail. When I check the email from one of the other BB account activity in the household (which is also off all night) there is NO IMAP access activity on their e-mail account.

    Can someone please help me cos it's driving me crazy!

    All helpful and well informed most welcome response (s)!

    Thanks much :-)

    There are two other BB users in my household (using curves of BB)

    Hello... and apologies for the late reply!

    I hope that you already have this sorted... but just in case.

    Technically, your BB itself is not involved in the process of verification of your e-mail server for new items. On the contrary, BBs use the BIS service, hosted by carriers/RIM, as an intermediary between BBs and your mail servers. Therefore, it is the BIS service that checks your email service, and generate the newspapers you see. BIS conscientiously will check the server e-mail every 15 minutes, regardless of the case your BB is active or not.

    Good luck!
