Apple device owners are being targeted for password reset requests

A report coming through The Register is reporting that Apple device owners are being targed by a multi-factor authentication bombing campaign.

This isn't anything new that is occurring but an ongoing issue as one of the methods of phishing attempts to trick you into sharing your password with bad actors. But according to The Register Apple device owners are being targeted and should be more aware of this happening to you.

Always check the e-mail address to help you determine whether information coming through is coming from a known source or not. But an even better way to protect yourself is never to use the links that are provided in an e-mail request to change or update a password. Always log into the site by typing in the URL yourself for the site that you are attempting to make any changes in. If the source of the request for a password change his real that message should show up as being generated at that site which you can check at that time.

Be careful not to give away any of your security lockdowns.
