Don’t get caught in the “Apple ID suspended” phishing scam

2024-11-22  Per Henrikson

A new Apple ID scam is targeting users, claiming their account is suspended and making them click a malicious link. The email pretends to be from Apple Support, claiming your access has been suspended due to “unusual activity” or missing or invalid information. It says you can’t access your account or Apple services until you verify your identity. There’s usually a link that leads to a fake Apple site, asking you to enter your username, password, and additional personal details to reactivate your account. To add urgency, it even warns that if you don’t verify your Apple ID within 24 hours, it will be permanently blocked.
