iCloud Accounts May Have Been Hacked
In the last few days, several iCloud users have stated on Apple's forums that their iCloud accounts have been sending out spam, and appear to have been hacked. User øivindfromoslo wrote, "never used the iCloud e-mail account for anything (and I hate that apple forces it on you) but suddenly everyone in my contact list have received spam mails from that @me.com address."
User solargaze reported, "I called Apple to let them know what had happened with my account and explained to them that my password was not simply 'guessed' as guessing a long string of pseudo randomly generated letters, numbers, and characters is not likely. The guy I talked to said they had no other reports of such an issue but would make a note of it in case other reports came in and a pattern emerged. So, I encourage anyone who this has happened to to contact Apple via phone and let them know that it's an issue."
