My account keeps getting hacked. Over and over. I've done everything, I've scoured my computer and phone. I've changed passwords. Twice now some guy in Spain has hacked my account and I want to know why and how. Where is the data leak!?

Same here. It's been happening for MONTHS for me, I've been hacked so many times. I've changed my password so many times. I'm going to try revoking access to all 3rd party stuff, so I hope that helps. If I get hacked again then it's definitely SPOTIFY's bad security. This shouldn't be happening.

I've gotten my spotify hacked from several places, the two most recent being Argentina and Bangladesh. This is insane, lol.

Nah. I've done ALL of that. There's a security issue at Spotify. An obvious fix would be to add two factor authentication. If no one could access my account without a code from my phone that would solve the problem. But for some reason Spotify refuses to make their site truly secure.

Hey @smeat,

Thanks for posting back in the Community.

The idea about adding a two-factor authentication is under considerations from Spotify already. Keep an eye on this thread here, so you will be aware on the latest developments on this topic.

I am getting these massages on Facebook, instagram, on my emails, as text massage so almost everywhere and I know that she was able to listen to our calls, steal our pictures and even spy through our cameras without the green lamp was on.

We change our numbers but she always finds out the new ones by simple just hacking one of our relatives. I change my number just one day ago and the day after I was getting those weird massages again..

I've received similar looking text messages before too. My phone is not hacked. It's just spam. Some people get more than others I'm sure depending on how careful they are with their info. You can avoid seeing some of that by going to Settings > Messages and turning on the switch for Filter Unknown Senders

Being the target of a sophisticated and targeted and immensely expensive attack is perversely far more comforting than the far more mundane answer of what has been called end-stage capitalism, with endemic regulatory capture, and with vanishingly few conflicting regulations, and of somebody that very well might simply subscribing you to harassment and related through knowledge and potentially the assistance of friendly intermediaries, or of gaslighting, of course.

Harassment and doxxing and worse is a serious problem. Too many women deal with gaslighting and other forms of abuse, and worse, and far too often. Dealing with exploited iPhones, for the vast majority of us, not so much.

This someone, whoever it is, knows the Apple ID and password of each family member. By logging into any of their iCloud accounts, they can see every picture, email, contact data and other personal info of each family member. That's now they're picking up any new phone number. They wait until another family member updates their contact with your new number, and then they have it, too.

It's not Pegasus. That hacking software costs millions of dollars. Do you think you have info on your phone worth that much money that someone would pay for it just to get your data? On top of that, Apple has already blocked the Pegasus exploit.

There is one way to do that. Windows software exists that allows the user to login to an iCloud account and view that person's data as a regular file/folder view. Since this is not being done from a Mac, iPad or iPhone, iCloud does not see, or report another device for the account.

Or, (though I would think you've already checked this) your phone has been jailbroken without your knowledge. This requires direct access to your phone, knowing your passcode so they can get to the desktop, and at least 30 minutes beyond that. Then all bets are off as all kinds of junk can be installed to track your phone. As one such possible tool, do you see an app named Cydia?

Other times, you might not be so lucky and only find out about a hack after hackers empty your bank account, encrypt your data and force you to pay them a ransom, or leak your personal data to the Dark Web.

How do they do this? SIM swapping (or SIM jacking) occurs when hackers contact your phone provider and trick them into switching your phone number to a different SIM that the hackers then control.

Hackers use your social media posts, search history, and all the other data in your online footprint to hack you. Take some time to clean up your accounts and update your privacy settings.

Opening spam emails gives fraudsters and malicious hackers a lot more information about you than you realize. When you receive a spam email, resist the urge to open it or respond. Instead, delete it right away.

Data brokers have built thriving businesses by scraping the internet and public databases for your data, aggregating it into a rich profile, and then selling it to the highest bidder. Luckily, you can contact data brokers to have your information removed. Or better yet, get Aura to do it for you.

Hackers are masters at hiding their scams. On average, it takes organizations 287 days to identify and contain a data breach [*]. Worse, some individuals are continually hacked for years on end.

Social engineering attacks use human psychology to trick you into giving up passwords or access to your accounts and devices. This can include phishing emails, scam texts and calls, romance scams, and business email compromises.

Malicious software gives criminals access to your devices, software, and data. Hackers can infect your devices using phishing websites, malware-laced attachments, malicious QR codes, or links sent via email, text, or social media.

Public and even home Wi-Fi networks are notoriously easy to hack. Once hacked, your router provides easy access to all the devices connected to it, including laptops, smartphones, tablets, surveillance cameras, smart doorbells, Home Assistant software, and more.

To stay safe, learn how to recognize threats, recover your accounts, and avoid similar situations in the future. And for ultimate security, consider signing up for an identity theft protection service like Aura.

Your email account is an important part of protecting your personal information online. Why? Say you forget your account password and use the password reset feature to get a new one. You get an email with a password reset link, click on it, and change your account password. All in a matter of minutes.

Now, imagine if someone hacked your email account. They could request a password reset link for any of your other accounts, get the password reset link from your inbox, change your password, and lock you out of the account.

I haven't used Evernote for a couple of years but got an email saying that there was suspicious log on from Egypt. I accessed my account, where I still had work, to find in the last couple of months (the extent of the time period shown), my account had been accessed from Denmark, Egypt and multiple Asian locations.

I created a lame password due to which my account got hacked starting in August 2020. I got an email from Evernote today that someone has logged into my account from Brazil. That prompted me to change the password. Since then I have deleted all my notes. I had US expired license photos, family photos of parents, almost no username passwords of my bank logins, photos of expired bank cheques, and some useless notes, last 4 digits of SSN. My photos of license though expired have my DOB and previous US addresses. I don't live in the US anymore. What is the best way to tackle this situation? I am sure hackers have downloaded my information and may have taken out loans. I remember getting some calls from debt collection agencies a few months ago. I am not sure how to proceed besides wait and watch. Please advise me.

Alright, so I just read an evernote email about a login from Ukraine. It's from 2 hrs back.

I pretty much dumped my life in evernote so am less than thrilled. Clearly I changed my password, put on 2FA etc.

(Although, the authentication sms code does not work... so I can't login my desktop / phone app now. This on top of this hack AND the fact that there's no Evernote hotline or easy way to reach them REALLY makes me consider dumping the service after almost a decade.)

Can I see what this hacker has done in my account? Have they downloaded all notes, browsed thru them etc? Is there any way to check this?

As we speak I'm changing all my passwords for literally everything - but this would be good to know.

And this is for a mod / evernote employee:

Why the hell would you make it possible for people from a completely different country to login via new device, instead of blocking them and require a confirmation thru email? This is insane. Why would you allow this?

Really Evernote?
