A cyber bug
Permalink  
 


My Apple account got hacked. Apparently a map app bug hacked my email and my Apple account. It locked me out of my own computer yesterday.

Numerous phone calls back and forth have now resolved the issues. I am ticked at Apple though, they should have caught that one. evileye

Now I have to set up new email accounts, change all my passwords and check a whole bunch of other stuff. I am not a happy camper today.

This is just a vent thread. If others have had similar problems, please vent away.

The only reason I figured out what was happening was a message I got on my cell that my new ipad had accessed my icloud and email. I don't have a new ipad.
The ipad was in Georgia, lol.

Any ideas will be very welcome. Thanks

Call Apple again. See if they can help.

I hope you can get the problem figured out, Czech

Would the virus possibly keep this site from letting me access this site on my cell?

I imagine it's possible, Czech. (I wish I were Geekier, with cell phones.cry)

Nothing is wrong with your account, on our end.

I do not like apple, like FWM, I am a droid. . Anyway, that sort of hacking can happen to any of us, not limited to Apple. Do set a reminder to change your password every 60 days or so, you will be hacked less often.
