Someone must have hacked my iPhone because friends and family say they are receiving spam from me and the messages say they are sent from my iPhone. Any idea how to combat this?
iPhone 4, iOS 6
They probably hacked your email account rather then your iPhone.
I suggest that you change your password and see if that helps.

Thanks. I did change the password. How do I know it's not my iPhone? The emails say they were sent by my iPhone.
If your iPhone is not jailbroken then it has not been hacked.
Someone would have to have possession of your iphone in order to hack it.
It's not jailbroken. If it can't be hacked, why does it say it was sent from my iPhone?
OK. That answers your question then it is not hacked.

You may have gotten a worm or other form of virus that infected your computer, which could have taken control of any mail account on it. If it did this, it was probably quite sophisticated, and probably kept up what it assumed was your standard signature to keep up appearances, so your phone is probably fine.
You may still want to unlink any mail accounts on your phone just in case, however.
Someone is spamming from my iPhone. How do I stop this?
