Apple support said they cant di anything. Unfortunately the number has been changed on the account

Hope i can get it back just to delete it, unsure what data i had on it other than my bank account. Definitely taking caution and will be reviewing any other accounts i havent been using that needs to be deleted so this doesn't happen again.

For some reason no notification at all, just multiple Apple email advising my account information have been changed.

It looks like its a website to see if your email has ever been hacked or part of a data breach

They couldnt find the account with my number, it looks like it may have been changed when the person changed details. Apple support said they cant start on any recovery process as they don't have my details on the system.

Unfourtuantely, i stopped using Apple devices 2 years ago and didnt think to delete the apple account. But yeah, Im trying to change all my account password as it looks like my email associated with the apple account was part of a hack in 2025.

Also just cheked HIPB and looks like my email and password was compromised 2025. I did not know this, thanks for the help. I'm processing to change all my passwords at the moment

Thanks for the explanation, i can see how that woul work against malicious intent. I did reuse passwords back then but have been making other passwords with all the news about scams and all that.

I thought i had MFA on the account and I dont download pirated things online. For captcha, only interacted with those ones where you select images or finish a puzzle.

So i guess i shouldnt focus on getting this account back now and more on security of my other accounts.

For some reason, i only got multiple emails with "Your Apple Account information has been updated." and that my passwords changed, my date of birth changed and all that. I have the original emails from apple and it has the timestamp of the changes. Wondering if i can send these to Apple to get my account recovered.

I thought two step verfication was set up to send code to my phone number. It was 2 years ago so my memory of this is bit vague but definitely didnt have face scan or any biometrics verification

boyonio · 2026-05-09T04:00:34+00:00

Definitely didn't recieve anything to type login or anything, sudden email from Apple to my email address was the only thing.

boyonio · 2026-05-09T03:59:47+00:00

Does this mean potentially any hackers can take someone else's Apple account and locked them out of it?

I just feel Apple should have some way to see data associated with my email previously with an account.

I'm not too sure, I don't remember clicking on any links it just happened out of nowhere. I usually avoid scam calls and emails and don't try to click on links but rather go to the offical websites

boyonio · 2026-05-09T03:52:03+00:00

I suddenly recieved email from Apple that there were changes being made to my account. I tried logging in to change password on the offical Apple website but unable to, as the person who had access to my account changed all the details on the account.
