Verifying a Hacked Account:

A. See your Devices:

B. Modify your Credentials:

You... think... there's someone hacking your iPad?


What are the behaviors or symptoms or messages that you are encountering that lead you to suspect a security problem?


There are lots of bogus mail messages and advertising pop-ups and other dreck around (falsely) claiming viruses and hacks, too.


Backups are normal and expected for an iPad, usually uploaded to iCloud automatically, or can be performed manually to a local Mac or Windows computer.


If you're concerned about security, having backups is one means to try to preserve your data.
