I received a notifcation on my phone that my Apple ID is being used in China. I selected the "Do not allow" option on my iphone screen and changed my password immediately but I am receiving a verification code by text every minute - 60 so far!

I had a notification on my iPhone regarding my Apple ID being used in China. I don't know how long it was there as I noticed it when I woke up and immediately selected " do not allow", changed my password on Apple ID, Paypal, Google, Facebook etc. I used the two step notification to log into my Apple ID and on my phone and MacBooks and got different codes each time to use and they are now set up again..


However, I am receiving repeated texts even as I type here with the same verification code every single minute for the past 90 minutes. I assume this is as a result of someone continuing to try to hack into my account from China using my email address which is my Apple ID - I really don't want to have to set up a new Apple ID and new email address. Is there anything I can do to stop these texts. Also, my network provider charges for every text Apple sends me!

Yes, I am just off the phone from Apple Support. They are working hard to fix this problem regarding repeated text messages every minute. They hope to have it resolved shortly. In my case I didn’t even use that code it as it was someone in China trying to access use my ApplID.


There is an option to contact Apple support by phone - you just arrange a call back and receive it immediately.


Apple dint gece a way if stopping ot blocking the texts - lets just hope that network operators are not charging for these texts!
