Apple ID/iPhone hacked?

[Underoos]

Is my Apple ID hacked?

My mom is in my contacts under her name, but occasionally I start a text to "Mom". When I do this, it brings up a phone number for "Mom". I do not know this number or this person. There is no Mom in my contacts. When it automatically pulls up Mom, there are also some other contacts associated with it. Again, none of these people are in my contacts.

What the fuck is going on? I haven't had any other problems or weird shit that I've noticed.

Siri has a mom too.

Odd - my phone (Windows phone) keeps dropping contacts. Deletes their photo, adds back old phone numbers, drops other. Real pain the the arse. I suspect it is a Gmail issue.

Found this when doing a search on your issue - appears other experience it too:

Random contacts on my iPhone 5

Yeah, but these people aren't in my contacts. They only come up when I type in "Mom". I can't find them any other way.

Did a quick Facestalking. They appear to be real people in Kansas.

Maybe that's your real mother? Apple is pretty savvy.

Thats a fucked up way to find out you were adopted!

Is your or your "Mom"s phone a second hand unit? Afaik, here have been instances where used (or refurbed units that have come back from repairs) retain some Apple ID information of the previous user and can cause mayhem.

At least some older 3/4G phones had issues, if I remember right?

yea my sister had the same issue with her phone that she got as a replacement
I'd text her and sometimes it would go to the previous owner's acct and sometimes to my sister

My phone is new. Maybe "Mom's" phone is pre owned. I don't know who the person is.

Maybe I'll ask mystery mom if she knows anything. That's the only phone number that shows up. I've been hesitant in case there was something malicious going on.

On the plus side, I'm glad DD doesn't like my avatar. Probably makes him uncomfortable.
