Apple Pay has been hacked, what to do?

Jeff, read my post and explain to me how I caused my own problem with Apple Pay when I never activated it or utilized it on any level. Explain how it magically appeared and how someone or some computer tried to put charges on it that my bank flagged. The latest breach regarding credit scores has given an unknown entity our SS numbers, DOB, addresses and phone numbers. Do you think that possibly that could make it easier to do what people believe can’t be done?

Hi, my bank account was compromised and within 2 minutes 7 fraudulent transactions were made with my card details. My bank are saying they won’t pay a chargeback as the transactions took place using Apple_Pay on a device authenticated by me. But this is not possible as the transactions were taking place I had my phone in my hand and was able to witness the money being taken with each transaction and fortunately able to act fast and block the merchant they were using and withdraw the remainder of my funds into another account before they emptied me out.

however I can now see on my transaction history with my bank that a few hours prior to this a Google card verification took place.

my question is how was someone Apple to set up Apple Pay with my card details without me knowing?

So I've been using My Apple pay to travel on NYC public transportation. I would use it because I also believed it was the most secure method on those tap and go machine. After 10 pm i’m home in NJ and got several notifications of transactions taking place with my apple pay cash that I had on the card at NY MTA station. I was able to view the time and location. My debit card was also in the wallet and I removed it just in case they were able to access it. So if apple pay cannot be hacked what do we call that?

I use it on a regular M-F and whenever I do the notification with the charge pops up. It’s never shown up two days later for me. That recent transaction which took place last night had the time and the location. The one this morning stated 6 mins ago so I removed the funds completely off the card because I realized reporting the several charges last night did not block the card from being used until it was figured out like a bank would’ve done

I’m still not understanding. You keep talking about your debit card. But that’s not Apple Cash. What specifically was compromised. A debit card or Apple Cash or both? Apple Cash is a prepaid virtual debit card issued by Green Dot Bank.

I am currently on the phone to my bank who are blocking Apple Pay. They blocked my card and as soon as a new card was issued, it was immediately hacked through Apple Pay again. So….it can be hacked.

Thanks Jeff, the reply was really helpful! You seem kind of angry though…

You’re welcome. Sorry if I sounded angry, didn’t intended to. I should use more emojis when I post. Please accept my apology for the confusion.

Please, no!

Thanks so much for sharing this with me Jeff. I appreciate all of your guidance!

I have been hacked on my phone and games, my bill is massive

Correct as soon as I added my new debt someone was trying to connect to my Apple Pay account

No one can connect to your Apple Pay account unless they know your Apple ID and password.

I have two $500 charges on Apple Pay that I did not authorize and I don’t know how they did it. I want to see if the money can be refunded thanks.

My apple wallet was hacked. My concert tickets were in my apple wallet and someone got in and sold them
