Q: Imessage account hacked

I received this email this morning

Your ApplId (my id)was used to sign in to iMessage on a MacBook Pro 13" named “8gepc的Mac (18)”.

Date and Time: October 1, 2016, 10:50 AM PDT

Operating System: OS X 10.10.3

 

Followed by tons of imessages to my ipad from numbers +86 139-XXXXXXXXX and messages in chinese (which i cant understand).

 

I immediately changed my password but still worried if other account info was compromised.Does anyone know of a wide spread hack that may have occurred?

iPad 2, iOS 9.3.5, null

    I am very careful when it comes to phishing emails etc. I havent done anything  would compromise the security of my account. Today, i had a message pop up saying I'd been logged into a new mac. First thing I did was change my password and set up the 2 step veto action process: however, it was too late and multiple messages had been sent in Chinese. They have somehow managed to hack into my account. I'm not happy!!!

    If you haven't delved deep into all the info in this thread, you probably haven't discovered the "real deal" that we really cannot come right out and say here in Apple's own forum

    Be sure and read MY POST thoroughly and its linked pages -

    clearly from this thread's contents and in the wild, it wasn't only just your account compromised

    I Got the exact same message but on a Mac 2 instead of the 12.  I changed my password To something much more secure. Did I fix the problem by changing passwords?

    Probably. Read this thread carefully. Follow linked pages and their links. It was nothing that you did or you account specifically
