IMSG hacked account, sending a lot of international text in current bill
So yesterday my pirate apple account (connected from a unknown macbook) and I noticed someone was frantically sends many messages from my phone, images which got also sent as normal text to an international number. After noticing, I quickly changed password. Checked my mobile BT phone bill, and he had already executed a bill for all these messages sent to international numbers. The appeal of BT until you see what they can do and they just said, you will have to pay for the Bill and that was that.
What to do about this? my password was normally good security level and don't even know how he hacked. How would stop it doesn't happen because it looks just like any time I could just be landed with a massive Bill. Fortunately, I noticed pretty quickly this time, so the Bill does not accumulate to something that would be unfeasible. But with the telephone companies want to help at all, it seems extremely unfair!

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

I have an account in NASCAR & a message from the web page comes up & tells me that my account has been hacked. I click on OK or a red X in the upper right corner of the message & goes on the site of pirates, I suppose. I need to know what to do. I can't go on my other browser on this p / & I don't seem to have any problems.
What I did on secondary browser to this Web site has been to change my password. I managed, but I can't always on my account on browser I.E. 9 without the hack message arise. What could I do?
Please reset your browser to factory settings.
And then do a scan with Malwarebytes and Antivirus.

Other windows in my email account * address email is removed from the privacy * has been hacked a few years back. I tried several times account recovery form but cannot give enough information to recover the account probably because I created the account for years and don't remember most of the information and I can't use the phone verification because I changed my number.
Is there any other way I can recover my account? I have an another proof of ownership as game keys that are related to the account, if that helps

I received an email with a recent purchase of apple's itunes that I have not done it myself. I'm afraid that this person has access to my apple ID account
One of the possibilities: there have been a number or recent reports of phishing emails - they appear to come from Apple, but are not and they are an attempt to get people to use a link in the email to log which leads to give them their Apple ID and password.
You can use the following information to see your purchase history real to see your purchase history in iTunes on Mac or PC - Support Apple store or you can go to report a problem
If the purchase has not actually been paid to your account (i.e. that the e-mail was phishing) and you did not go to the email, then you're OK.
If the purchase has actually been paid using your account (or it was not really on your account but you have used a link in the email and enter your information), see the following: If you think that your ID Apple has been compromised - Apple supports

Recently, I went through a very trying time because I could not use my hotmail account and has been accused of being a spammer. I'm not a spammer - trust me. After proving that I am who I said I was, I was able to go back to the account. Now that I'm back with my account, I get a number of spam and they are with my email account name. Most of the emails have a short message with about seven numbers behind the message. Is there some way one can prevent someone to use an e-mail address? Or y at - there a lot of accounts using the same name, but with different passwords? Thank you.

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.
- Login to icloud.com/find on a Mac or PC, or use the find my iPhone app on another iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Change the passwords of other internet accounts on your device. This might include email, Facebook, or Twitter accounts.
- 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.
- 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.
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:
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.
