The Mashable employee changed her password and security questions and contacted Apple Support, where a representative told her many people had been calling about this problem this morning.

The hack was likely an attempt to steal personal information, the Apple support representative said. The representative said the hack was fairly new and Apple's developers were working on it. For now, she said, there was no way to tell if personal information was stolen.

One London-based Twitter user who posted about the hack on October 17 told Mashable that the messages stopped after he changed his password information and enabled two-step verification. He did not contact Apple about the hack.

Apple Support has responded to some users on Twitter:

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

And some sites have offered guidance about how to fix this hack as far back as August.

An Apple spokesman said he would look into these reports, and offered Apple's resources for what to do if your Apple ID has been compromised.

Based on a basic web translation, the messages seem to contain spam about Macau casinos.
