Is it possible for someone to hack into your account and send iMessages on your behalf?

Is it possible to have a full text conversation between your iMessage and someone else's without you having written it? These messages have appeared on my brothers iPad (about 30) being sent back and forth from his account and he claims not to have sent then. I was just wondering if this is actually even possible?


Hope someone can help.

Certainly. If someone has hacked his Apple ID, they could use it on a different device, and could send messages as him. These messages would sync to his devices as well. Of course, use of an Apple ID on a different device causes a warning message to appear on all other devices using that Apple ID, saying that the Apple ID is being used on a new device. He may have simply dismissed that message without reading or understanding it and has forgotten all about it.


Or, of course, he might have sent the messages and be trying to deny responsibility... 😉 Can't rule that out, but what he's saying is indeed possible.

Thank you for this Thomas. I thought that it could be a possibility or that he is denying reaponsibility as well! Just checking that it could actually happen. The only other problem is that he has stated that the messages are only on his iPad and have not been synced to his other devices which are a phone and a mac. Could that happen or would they definitely sync to all?
