Q: Apple ID maverickch6@outlook.com

Hello,

 

On my iPad Mini I have time-to-time a popo-up windows asking for password for account "maverickch6@outlook.com", I have never created or used this email address, does anybody ever see this problem? Is it some virus, or what?

iPad, iOS 7.1.1

    Have you installed some apps that you downloaded from somewhere other than the App Store?

    No, never, all my applications come from AppStore! I have several iOS devices (better to say douzen of them) linked with my iCloud account (used also for AppStore), I will take care to see whether this pop-up message shows on all of them. All my devices are bought in Apple Store.

    The reason I ask is that that particular address has been seen used in unsavory situations, and the most likely cause for what you're seeing is if you have installed a stolen app, which was hacked by someone using that Apple ID. If you have done that, you need not own up to it here... just be aware that you should probably restore your iPad to factory settings:

    I have just bought a new iPhone 7 and I've experienced exactly the same thing, it's very disturbing. Did you ever figure out the cause of the issue?
