It also warns that failing to unlock the ID can lead to permanent suspension of your Apple services.<\/p>\n<p>However, the email is not from Apple and the claim that your Apple account has been locked is a lie. The email is a <a title=\"Phishing Scams - Anti-Phishing Information\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/phisher-scams.html\">phishing scam<\/a> designed to steal your Apple login details along with other sensitive personal and financial information.<\/p>\n<p>If you click the &#8216;Unlock&#8217; link you will be taken to a fraudulent website that emulates a \u00a0genuine Apple web page and asked \u00a0to log in with your Apple ID and password. After you have \u00a0&#8216;logged in&#8217; on the bogus site, you will be taken to a web form that asks you to supply your credit card details, your name and address, and other personally-identifying information. At the end of the process, you may see a message stating that you have \u00a0successfully unlocked your account.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the criminals \u00a0operating this phishing campaign can collect all of the information you submitted and use it to hijack your Apple account and commit credit card fraud and identity theft.<\/p>\n<p>There have been a number of versions of the above scam. Details such as the date, \u00a0time, and location of \u00a0the supposed security breach may vary in different versions of the scam. Be wary of any email claiming to be from Apple that demands that you click a link or open an attached file to deal with a supposed account suspension or similar issue.  \u00a0Apple will not send you these types of emails. If you receive such an email, do not click any links or open any attachments that it contains. Always access your Apple account by entering the \u00a0address into your browser&#8217;s address bar or via an official Apple app.<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a0Apple website <a title=\"Phishing &amp; Other Suspicious Emails\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/legal\/more-resources\/phishing\/\">includes more information<\/a> about such phishing scams and how to report them.<\/p>\n<p>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/apple-id-security-notice-phishing-scam\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/apple-id-security-notice-phishing-scam\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outline: &#8216;Security Notice&#8217; email purporting to be from Apple claims that your Apple ID has been locked because the company noticed an attempt \u00a0to sign into your account from an &#8216;unrecognized device&#8217;.
