@help I just got 2 email alerts that a website was used to access my iCloud account and therefore it was temporarily disabled and I need to verify my account.
How can I make sure these both are legit?
@Pippy try logging in directly through iCloud. (Not any links in the emails). If it has been disable you wouldn’t be able to sign in. Pretty sure this is a scam. Can also check the url address used to send the emails.
@Tcfoley99 thank you!
It’s a scam.
People try these all the time. I’ve been a developer for… about 25 years and totally ignore these kinds of messages.
Never have I lost my account.
Apple takes security seriously. If you are really concerned call their help line. It’s the most secure way and they are very helpful.
Don’t DIY security issues. A quick phone call with nice people is far safer.
@feloneouscat @Tcfoley99 I will take that into account. I also took the advice and added a security key. As I get older I’m afraid of not being as astute as I once was!
