My email from Apple used to send spam

This is the first time (that I know) that my Apple email address has been used to send spam in bulk. I don't think that the account has been hacked, since I'm still able to sign in iCloud and access my mail. I guess that my address is being spoofed. I contacted the people I thought that had received spam from me.

Is it possible to stop this? I'm afraid that it will continue until everyone I contacted directly or sent by electronic mail will be spammed by me. It is an address that I use for almost everything.

Are there steps I can take to keep my e-mail address be used this way?

Thank you.

Since your password has not changed for access, the password may have been learned through strikes or phishing somehow. It would still be a good idea to update your password information and security.  http://www.Apple.com/legal/more-resources/phishing/

Two-factor authentication is perhaps something to look at as well, so you can be made aware of all the connections on your account. Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support. To do this, before you change the other security settings on your account as your password if you decide to go ahead with it. Otherwise, you must wait 72 hours after the update of your password, etc. for security measures.

Finally, Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support should feel you the need for more reassured.

    Do not install or run an anti virus app.

    How do you know that your email has been "hacked"? It is a common practice for spammers to forge an envoy from the e-mail address. It may be that your email address has been misused. There's nothing to do if this is the case for you. The spammer will soon pass and usurp another email address.

    It's a good idea to immediately change your password by email if someone would actually managed to access your e-mail account.

    If I understand, you went to have the screen of your iPhone repaired to the Apple authorized service provider, but did not receive a confirmation email from the provider regarding your visit in? I understand that you want to have a form any registration. I would recommend that you please contact the store by their phone number and pull them to the top of your repair/service order and send a copy of you if possible. They might not have your voucher by e-mail or e-mail only those details when requested directly by the customer.

  • How will I know if an email from 'Apple' on malware is legitimate?

    I received an e-mail might alert, apple, on malware that requires immediate attention.  I need to know how to determine if it is legitimate. In my safari, I went on the link they posted in the warning and got this announcement of: http://icloud-webserver-3.online/index-2.html

    Your computer is infected with adware or malware, which allows you to see this popup.

    This can happen because of the obsolete virus protections.

    To fix, please call Apple Support to 1-800-982-1346 immediately. Please ensure that you do not restart your computer to avoid any data loss.

    Possibility of data & identity theft, if not fixed immediately.

    In fact, I called the number, don't do not still think that it was a 'bad' site...? How can I check the legitimacy of this warning?

    It's easy. It is NOT legitimate. It's a scam, and it came not from Apple.

  • Mail from Apple using incorrect email (typo)

    Hello

    Apple Mail uses invalid (typo) email address Hotmail to send the same mail so correct was provided and is present in the settings.  The user's e-mail address is * [email protected], but when sending mail it tries to connect with the imap server using the * [email protected] (obvious typo).  I checked that the e-mail address is correct in the e-mail settings and address book.  I tried to delete the account and restart the phone and then add the account but this does not solve the problem.

    Mail from this account can not be sent, but is received correctly.  Other mail on telephone accounts, send and receive a fine.  Phone is 6s with installed 9.3.4

    Any advice?

    That has to do with the outgoing SMTP settings. If you can not change this setting, remove and add the account as "Other" type. You will need the following information:

    Incoming mail server

    • Account type: IMAP
    • Username: [email protected]
    • Host name of the server: imap - mail.outlook.com
    • Server port: 993
    • Authentication: password
    • SSL/TLS: Yes

    Outgoing e-mail server

    • User name: _______[email protected]
    • Host name of the server: smtp - mail.outlook.com
    • Server port: 587
    • Authentication: password
    • SSL/TLS: Yes

    If you have only a @icloud e-mail address, you will need to call Apple Support and ask your password reset e-mail be sent to an alternate email address.
