Sorry I was not sure if this thread would go in here but I thought I would try my luck.
I have a brand new MacBook and I have never had problems before with hackers. Recently I went on vacation for a week to come back to find my yahoo email password not working. I re-set the password and logged in to find someone sent me a private message from myself stating my password wasn't too secure and that they found a private photo of my fiance and that they will send it to all my friends/family if I don't send them every photo I own to them of my her. I ignored it at first thinking I would be left alone. A few days ago they created a facebook using my name spelt slightly different and private messaged with a link to some major porn uploading site with a photo of my fiance with no top. At first I was like how did this person get that? Little did I know my iphone synced some of my old phone photos to my email sigh....
I am not too good with computer and I was wondering if anyone who has knowledge with this subject could help me out with some advice please. I changed all password to everything I own to very intense long, symbols, numbers, caps etc passwords. My fiance's information was also changed. Is there a chance they could of installed something on my computer from opening that photo/email that can spy on me? Be pretty hard on this mac no? Any information would be greatly appreciated. The authorities are also involved with this matter. I have a friend that is very good with computers that wants to attack this person back but really I just want to somehow find the town or something where they are from. They have made a FB in my name and a new email, is there no way for yahoo or FB to search the area it was made!?? Please help!
