I think my Smartphone has been hacked? Is it possible? - lisa - 05-07-2013 08:41 PM
I have an Android. Lately my phone has been acting up, saying it's running out of memory although I don't really have any apps downloaded. Last night i was in the Verizon store and the salesperson couldn't find a reason for my memory to be low. She went in my pictures to see if that was the culprit, and informed me that my pictures were gone. I only have a few of my boyfriend and his kids, and losing them was a bit upsetting, but I thought I had accidentally done it myself when trying to increase my phone's memory. For the rest of the night I was experiencing problems with it. It wouldn't connect to my e-mail or the internet. When I woke up this morning I turned it off and on and then it was working fine. I checked my pictures and they were present but...there is now a Christmas photo of my ex boyfriend and his new girlfriend posed in front of a Christmas tree, which is totally bizarre! The details state this photo was downloaded at 6:47 am December 27th, but I was on vacation then and there was no way I was up that early. Plus, I've been in my photos at least 2x since then....once on NYE to show them to my friends at a party, and as recently as a few days ago when I deleted some to increase the phone's memory. That picture was NOT there then! This is so weird. Does anyone have any explanation? My friend thinks my phone was hacked. My ex WAS trying to get back together with me in early December, and I found out through Facebook that he was still with his girlfriend. Lying to me, and saying he broke up with her. And when he contacted me it was through yahoo text messenger to my phone. Not sure what to think. I honestly do not know how that picture could have gotten there.
