An ingenious Apple Service hoax is convincing users their account is under attack
Apple Insider
A scam trying to steal Apple Account data uses a genuine but inauthentic request for support, real Apple alerts, and precise timing to make a fraudulent attack look like official help. Here's what it looks like, and how to protect yourself.
Eric Moret recently received a burst of two factor notifications across his iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The activity looked like an actual intrusion because each alert came from Apple's real systems.
An automated call from Apple soon followed and read another verification code aloud. The timing made the situation feel coordinated and serious.
The sudden combination of texts and pop ups created pressure that would unsettle anyone. Moret had no reason to think the alerts were triggered by anything other than a threat.
