Email

My phone came up with a sign into my outlook account prompt & when I’ve put my password in, a lot of my phone contacts have gone & lots of old ones have replaced them. Very confused & don’t know what to do

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Security breach on my iPhone. My contacts are hacked, they disappear. Email, hotmail account seemed to be hacked first. Emails were going to my calendar. So I deleted that email from my phone. Now my contacts info is disappearing. Names on texts that used to be known have disappeared & they’re not in my contacts. Now, I have to figure out who that number was, if I can.

hacked contact list on iPhone and iPad My emails were hacked. I was able to retrieve the contacts, briefly on my iPhone and iPad and permanently on my desktop. I have changed passwords on everything. The hackers managed to put their email contacts along with a few of mine. They can't be deleted, there is no "Groups" in the upper left corner. My main concern is because their email contacts are still on my devices they can get to bank information, doctors, etc.

In doing so, I’ve come to realize there are multiple contacts, of myself: Robert, Bobby, Bobby Jr, exc...

The only two things to do are

Settings, Mail, Accounts - Remove the email account and then add it back.
Settings, Contacts, Accounts - are the right accounts showing contacts "on"
