Q: iMessages Hacked!
Apple I'm So Upset Right Now!
My iMessages were hacked very early! I woke up to the following email:
Dear,
Your Apple ID was used to sign in 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 looks familiar, you can disregard this email.
If you have not recently signed in to an iMac 27" with your Apple ID and believe 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 cramp load of text messages back-to-back to various numbers associated in Beijing, China. I went in immediately, changed all my passwords and reset my iPhone and Macbook.
This is not a settling feeling to know this just happened, Apple!!! What are you guys doing over there? We're paying a crap load of money to stay safe, and I can't even depend on my iMessages staying private without some low life sending text from my iMessages to People in China!!
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3.5, iMessages Hacked!

Almg with changing your AppleID password, you can set up 2-step verification to protect your AppleID and use 2-factor authentication to stop someone signing in using your AppleID on a new device.
