My password, ID & email all changed by hacker

How can Apple allow it to happen? Apple has provided tools to make it impossible for someone to do this without physical possession of a device you've designated as trusted. That's what two step verification is for. Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support

If and when you get this sorted out, I suggest you turn it on.

In the mean time, contact the police.

Same thing here, but on a MacBook Pro and Mac Mini.

Same answer applies.

My password, ID & email were changed at exactly the same time by a hacker (received 3 email at the same time) how can Apple allow this to happen without a response from the email account? It was an unused account linked to a Visa card that has long since been changed, I then have recieved on my iPhone and iPad lock screen a message suggesting my device is locked (which it wasn't) with an email address *************.com has anyone else had the same? Trying to contact Apple UK I'll have to wait until Friday (2 days)

If the apple account is your name or a version of your name - it is possible that someone else with the same name was given your account.

I had a new icloud iphone user create an email account that matched an Alias I have as @mac.com.
