me.com email hacking

First order of business is to change your me.com mail password. But also realize email addresses can be easily faked and made to appear they're from you. There's nothing you can do about that and it's how scammers get information from people by pretending to be you.

People are receiving messages from me that I did not send with pictures and links. Some are people I have corresponded with and yet there is one who I have never corresponded with. What can I do?

Check the raw mail message headers on the mail message, and see where it’s being sent from.

If the messages are spoofed (as is likely), you can potentially set up S/MIME with those people you communicate with. That’s extra steps to set up for both sender and recipient, but it works.

Recipients can detect and flag based on header details, once the messages are recognized as being spoofed.

Otherwise, there’s not much that you can do for messages with your sending address spoofed.

If the problem persists, legal advice can be warranted.

I still get the occasional emails from a good friend. Who died years ago. Our conversations were scooped up by spammers and scammers after a provider database breach, and are now used in an effort to phish me.

But if the mail messages are actually sent from your me address, you have a compromise of your Apple ID.
