I had a message come up saying that I had logged into a mac (I don't own a mac) so I changed my Apple ID password to then find that I have sent over 60 messages to 60 different chinese numbers. This was before I changed my password. Now I have changed it will it have sorted the probable or could someone still be on my account?
if you changed it from a page you followed in a link in the message I would change it fast to something else
Nope I changed it on the Apple website through the App Store as soon as I got the message saying I had logged into a mac
Same Problem here!
Same issue with my Dad's phone. An automated e-mail was sent to him indicating that his login was used on an iPhone 5, which he never owned.
He even got a call facetime call from Iran... and he doesn't know anyone there.
iMessage disabled now. Changed password + 2-factor authentication.
Something is definitely fishy...
I had the same thing happen to me and my iMessage has been disabled on my iPhone I changed my password via the website and iMessage still not working, was your iMessage disabled and for how long
same thing happened to me, if you have changed your password your account should be secure, how long were you unable to send iMessages ???
If your Dad only uses a single AppleID (as most people do) and someone had/has the password for that AppleID, they can login to FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, the App store - anywhere you use that AppleID and password.
With the password changed now, the thief should be locked out again.
It is vital to keep your AppleID password secure, since it is the key you use for any and every Apple service. Personally, I have 2-factor authentication set up on all my devices, but I also have 2-step verification set up on my AppleID as well, and if people wish to use both systems they can as they are not mutually exclusive.
P.S. They are also not the same thing and they each provide independent additional security - 2-step verification requires a code via find my iPhone push notification or SMS text each and every time you try to login to manage your AppleID at https://appleid.apple.com/ even if logging in from an already 2-factor authenticated/trusted device. 2-step verification replaces the security question aspect of AppleID security with a code (and a 14-digit master recovery code which must be kept secured somewhere as well in case it is ever needed).
Apple ID/iMessage hack?
