As topic, because I use the notes app often to jote down notes, now I realize that some random entries are appearing in my notes app, I have 5 iOS devices using the same iCloud account, but they are all in my possession, except for the iPad 1 which is with my parents and my parents are tech dinosaurs, they don't touch anything except for watching youtube videos or searching on Google for stuff. To be 100% sure I checked the iPad and turned off the notes sync there but the random messages still keep appearing!

Is my iCloud account hijacked? these new notes are appearing on a daily basis right now, it's as if someone is using my account and I'm afraid whoever typing in those messages might be able to see my existing notes and could potentially delete my notes away since I store valuable information there such as my school stuff and some passwords

Are they readable notes or random gibberish?

I have some notes corrupted when I copied it over to my new phone from iCloud, they have gibberish letters inserted between words

That sounds really serious. Change your iCloud password and give apple support a call?

Do the messages somehow has to do with your yahoo or gmail's account? Cos it's possible to sync between iOS notes and those.
