Troubleshooting This:

Perform this using a computer, as it would be more user friendly doing so.


A. Start Here: If you Think your Apple ID has been Compromised - Apple Support


B. Modify your Credentials:

You are able to log into these forums just fine. So, log into iCloud, and modify your credentials, starting with the password, and using a new eMail address (for Apple).


C. Scan: your Mac for Malware: 

Use MalwareBytes for Mac --- This is software that searches for malware/adware. So, scan with it and then remove what is found. Once removed, uninstall MalwareBytes for Mac. Then restart the Mac.

Downloads:

  1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
  2. Malwarebytes Uninstaller
