urgency to locate or secure their missing device.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;These messages closely resemble legitimate &#8216;Find My iPhone&#8217; or Apple Support notifications and redirect users to counterfeit Apple login pages designed to steal Apple ID credentials and One-Time Passwords (OTP),&#8221; the advisory said.<\/p>\n<p>Once compromised, attackers gain unauthorised access to the victims&#8217; accounts and remove the linked Apple ID from their stolen device, it said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;Avoid clicking links received via SMS (especially from international SMS Headers) or unsolicited messages and carefully check the URL before entering credentials,&#8221; the I4C said.<\/p>\n<p>It urged the users to only rely on Apple&#8217;s official &#8221;Find Devices&#8221; service page for such recovery.<\/p>\n<p>(This story has not been edited by Devdiscourse staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.devdiscourse.com\/article\/technology\/3919496-i4c-warns-of-phishing-scam-targeting-iphone-users-via-fake-apple-support-messages\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I4C warns of phishing scam targeting iPhone users via fake Apple support messages https:\/\/www.devdiscourse.com\/article\/technology\/3919496-i4c-warns-of-phishing-scam-targeting-iphone-users-via-fake-apple-support-messages Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":253403,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.devdiscourse.com\/img?imageUrl=https:\/\/devdiscourse.blob.core.windows.net\/aiimagegallery\/02_09_2025_09_33_09_929973.png&width=920&format=jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[31,25],"class_list":["post-253402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-exploit","tag-phishing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253402"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253402"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253402\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253404,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253402\/revisions\/253404"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
