There was a pop up dialogue box saying that a device (with the person's MacBook name) and I also got an email from Apple saying a new device had joined my network. <br> <br> I don't know what permissions they had entirely. I know they had control for about 2 hours before I woke up and they were changing permissions while I was trying to regain control of my phone. <br> <br> I don't know how/where they hacked in.

Yeah, this person may have used my phone to send out those texts to people, although these texts were in Chinese... so for all I know they could have been penis enlargement adverts. I do believe the texts you received would be considered phishing texts. Glad your platform was not compromised.

@ Did u not know that apple cloud accounts were hacked about a year or so ago? And am sure the iphone6 was found out to have a hacker flaw something to do with the software i think , cant remember exactly what it was but i do know that millions of apple customers had accounts hacked and left apple with a major red face haha
@chaseyerself No, I didn't. lol I don't own an iPhone or Apple. A friend of mine in politics claims they're mainly used because Apple doesn't sell out its customers. Thanks for the information. :)

I have an iPhone. I simply refuse to use any kind of banking on it. I do some from the main computer but never from my phone. I will never trust it completely. Glad all worked out well. You might want to get some anti-virus for your phone. Pretty sure I will have something now by the end of the day.

The phone has never been the same again, lagging, slow, etc. It is the same for the iPad, which also had the same message. I am due to upgrade them both this year (iPhone 5 and iPad 3) because apps are starting to not update, I haven't had an iOS upgrade for over a year, which could have increased the probability of hacking because there weren't upgraded security patches. <br> <br> I do resent having to upgrade, while old, they still work just fine (save the aforementioned hacking issues).

I believe the problem is not ios or iPhone. You email could have a weak password or you entered it somewhere in a wrong place.

I woke up at 03:00 yesterday morning to find that some random Chinese person had gotten permission to use my phone (what happens when you add a new device). From what I can see, they sent spam messages, but that is all, but it was a weird cyber battle of them working on one end, me working on the other.
I immediately changed my password. They changed it. I changed it again. They changed the password reset email from mine to theirs. The phone slowed down and I got locked out of my messages.
Contacted apple support on the Mac and they sorted it out within 20 minutes.
So, in case you have an apple product, my experience and now advice is to use the two factor authentication... In case you were dumb like me and haven't been using it.
