How do you know ? What are the symptoms ? Have you tried re-setting your passwords ?

He showed me the pics from my photo library on Twitter and and he knows the names of my contacts etc. I have reset my AppleID passwords etc all of them.

How did it happen ? Is he a friend ? Did you let him have access to your iPad ? Or has he access to your computer - are photos and contacts on your computer ? Have you changed computer passwords ? Id it anti virus protected ? Have you run malware program ? Is he on the same network ? Is it a public network ?

Lol no he's a complete stranger on Twitter, I doubt he's a friend or anyone I know because only I know my passwords, we were just having this banter on there and he goes I challenge you to put a pic in your photos library and I will steal it, I did that and then he posted the exact same pic.

Then he told me he has detected 3 more devices in my house lol he even told me device's info : IPad mini with retina display ios:7.1.2 . which was exactly correct.

Then he said he's hacked into my iMeassage and that's where he told me about the contacts I have saved.

I have reset all my passwords and stuff now.

If you haven't already done so you should report this guy to the police. Many jurisdictions have cyber stalking laws.

Have you a router ? If he has identified your other devices then maybe he has accessed your network. Change router password to long one with upper and lower case letters, numbers and punctuation marks.

Agreed. Make sure it's your router/gateway password, not your SSID/network password. One allows you to phish all network packets inbound and outband, the other just lets you see what devices are enabling network sharing on that network. Some users mix the two or believe they're the same
