Fake Apple iCloud Website Stealing Passwords

Scammers have set up a fake website pretending to be Apple iCloud support to trick people into handing over their Apple ID and password. If anyone in your family clicks this link and enters their details, their Apple account could be hijacked.

What to do: Warn your family never to click links claiming to be Apple support unless you go directly to apple.com yourself, and enable two-factor authentication on all Apple accounts.

What this means for your family

If someone in your family gets a link claiming to be Apple support, don't click it—go directly to apple.com instead. Scammers are using fake websites to steal Apple passwords, which gives them access to photos, emails, and payment info. Turn on two-factor authentication so even a stolen password can't unlock your accounts.
