My Apple id has been hacked.

My Apple id has been hacked.

Meaning, someone used my email as Apple id and provided his own email as communication email, and now I'm out of everything.

Or something like this.

Then, he/she uses this as hijacked Apple id.

What can I do? I press Send Reset Password and the email keeps being sent to somebody else! The Apple id is my email (example: nick@newyork.com) and although I DO HAVE this email address, I wait and wait and no password reset mail comes from Apple.

Now what?!

*** HOW **** to login ?!!!!!!

I put my email and the password has been changed !!! And when I go to iforgot.com there are 2 options:

1. Email authentication - and the email never comes !

2. Answer security questions. When I choose that, I put my birthday, and says my birthday is not correct!


How is this possible? By the way, my Apple id is Hotmail account which is a paid one, so means that I'm not pretending I'm somebody else, I'm keep paying this Hotmail account for years now. This email is associated with me for years now, and so it's the Facebook account with this email (of course).


Seems that someone used this email as login and put another email as primary, so now I'm simply locked out ! (if it was me, why the email doesn't show up? means it goes to some other email account..)

Hello,


I have 2 apple accounts because your developers team is too dumb they can't make a merge accounts option. Now because I was so long not using one of the accounts, I'm trying to log in and this account was hacked. I don't recieve any email password reset nor even is it possible to reset by question because someone changed it. I have more than 500 euros in purchases made on the other account, I want it back.

I have the same problem . A few days ago I got an email on my email address saying that my email address and Apple ID were updated. I've tried to log in right away but no luck . The Apple ID is not the same and the email address is not the same . Apple will send me a recovery email but not into my address any more 😟


Called Apple support and they've asked me the security questions , which of course I cant remember 😟 They said that another solution would be to give them my banking detail . A few months ago I've changed my credit card but haven't updated the details on the Apple ID. So , I told them I will come back with the details . Just before I hanged up they said that they will ban my card from iTunes so nobody could use it anymore.


I spent an hour on the phone with the banck , they gave me the old card details and I called Apple again. Guess what ? They said it is not possible to recover my account by giving the bank details because the card was banned .

So , theyve banned my card without telling me that afterwords it wouldn't be possible to recover your account by giving the bank details .


Now I end up paying 900 $ for an iPhone which I can't use . I was willing to go in an Apple Shop with the receipt and the phone to prove that is my phone . They said it is not possible . I need to know the security questions to unlock my account .


This is the kind of service apple provides : Pay 900$ for a f*** phone and if somebody hackes your account you will endup with a locked phone . Good work Apple , keep up the good work .
