• Apple ID/pirate iMessage. Messages sent to China. What should I do now?

  Today, I received an alert that my ID Apple had been used for sign in a MacBook Air (I don't own one), a very strange name.

  

  Shortly after, I went into my iMessages and seen this activity:

  

  Did some research and discovered these were all indicative Beijing sent. This is the message that was sent:

  

  I immediately changed my password, but now I'm worried, maybe I need to do anything else to the security update. I use the portfolio to apple and other features that have highly sensitive information, so this type of hack makes me very nervous. Are there other actions that I take, and someone else had this or something similar happens?

  Have you read the first message from Apple?

  .. . If you do not sign & trust someone access your account...

  ... go to appleid.apple.com and change your password.

  It is always best to avoid trusting any unsolicited message, but Apple seems to have been legitimate (at least the "apple id" address is correct).

  Looks like your password has been found or guessed, since Apple ID accounts often have details of credit or Bank attached I would get back immediately, also check your other accounts online - especially if you use the same password anywhere else.

• pirate iMessages!

  Apple I am so angry right now!

  My iMessages got hacked very early! I woke up to the following email:

  Dear Sir

  Your identifier Apple was used to connect to iMessage on an iMac 27 "named" iMac11, 3.

  Date and time: September 18, 2016, 12:03 AM PDT

  Operating system: OS X 10.8.4

  If the information above sounds familiar, you can ignore this message.

  If you have not recently connected to an iMac 27 "with your Apple ID and believe that someone may have accessed your account, go to Apple ID (https://appleid.apple.com) and change your password as soon as possible.

  The hacker sent a load of cramp text messages back to back different numbers associated with Beijing, China. I went immediately, changed all my passwords and reset my iPhone and Macbook.

  Is not not a feeling to know that this just happened, Apple set! What do guys out there? We pay a load of crap of money to stay safe, and I can't even depend on my iMessages stay private, not a low life sending the text of my iMessages to people in China!

• IPhone hacked, how to deepen the control of location services?

  So my router, mac and iphone got hacked, more than likely by the FBI.  They were investigating a person in my building, but it has proved to be a dead end.  Apparently, they decided to illegally monitor me.  My location service is initially resembled the image as an attachment, with the error message of the filling.  Now, I can't even access the tab "Location services" because it is faded and I can't draw in this.  I would like to get information from my phone to apple because I am sure that my phone has been violated by an iMessage randomly that I received.  Any ideas on how I can have apple examine how he missed their OS 9.3 on my phone?  The other problem is that I'm in Puerto Rico, where there is no apple on the island store and I won't be back on the Mainland for some time.

  I also sent the screenshot of iMessage in question to the [email protected] but did not receive an automatic reply, so I don't know if apple never received.  In any case, to check if it has been received?

  

  Unless you have jailbroken your iPhone, it could not have been hacked away. There is no way to "violate" an iPhone via a random iMessage. If iMessage takes you to a link that asks you if you want to install a profile and press 'Ok', there are a limited number of things that anyone could join. To check this, go to settings > general > device management and delete everything that you are not familiar with.

  Hello

  There is an app Messages having an iMessages account.

  In fact, it may have a Hello 'Account' AIM, Jabber and Yahoo, not to mention the many you can have.

  One of them could be the cause rather than the iMessages one.

  These: -.

  NSInvalidArgumentException

  See if the data of one kind or another in the past between the app and other places he works with.

  In some cases, the 'reason' may include a reference to something being 'null '.

  In these cases, this may mean that the Contacts App has no listed correct My map, in some cases, this means that Mac user account name and my card Contacts do not seem to match.

  Can you be specific about which .plists you deleted.

  Some with ichat in the name refers to the functions most basic application which have been there since the app was called iChat.

  For example, it might be the sort of friend order if you have AIM, Yahoo or Jabber accounts.

  This Yahoo have released a new version of their Messenger which seems incompatible with what they had before.

  It seems to stop the Messages application entering this account.

  I don't think that is the question here because I don't have this problem myself.

  Can you remember if you changed anything in the Messages recently?

  Present themselves as one or more individual items contact lists?

  Changed a State Message to a buddy list?

  Changed the "conversations of beginning of" setting on the iMessages account?

  Deselected an alternative email or number of iPhone?

• 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!

• All my messages on my iPhone were mysteriously deleted after I restarted - is it possible to sync my old backup iPhone with my iMessages on my Mac?

  Hello!

  This past weekend, I noticed that my Messages app acted strangely on my iPhone 6. Accordingly, I turned and turn it on again and noticed that all of my posts have disappeared. I then did a hard reset and turned on - still no messages.

  I have my settings to keep my messages forever, what really saddened me to see all of my messages disappeared. In any case, I'm about to restore my backup iPhone on a new phone (6 s). Luckily, I backed up my phone the week last before my messages disappearing.

  I understand that when I restore a backup, everything that happened on my phone since will not appear. However, I have also the Messages on my MacBook Air app, when kept all my messages before and after the mysterious disappearance on my phone. Once I have perform this restore, I was wondering if it is possible to synchronize in any post-restore on my laptop to my phone messages.

  Thank you!

  Congratulations on your new iPhone 6 s! I understand that you want to synchronize the restoration of post messages on your Mac Messages app to your iPhone 6 s.
