iPhone users beware, as malicious parties are targeting Apple ID passwords using the password reset system. Attackers are sending multiple MFA prompts to victims in an attempt to trick them into resetting their Apple ID passwords.
To protect against these attacks, users are advised to decline system alerts, avoid answering phone calls claiming to be from Apple Support, and consider temporarily changing the phone number associated with their Apple ID. However, Apple’s rate limit problem with the password reset system has made it difficult for users to avoid multiple reset requests in a short period of time.
Reports of this scam have been circulating for at least two years, with Apple yet to provide a fix. Additionally, the Apple Recovery Key does not prevent reset password prompts, leaving users vulnerable to these attacks.
In light of these security concerns, iPhone users should exercise caution and take steps to safeguard their personal information. Stay vigilant and follow the recommended precautions to prevent falling victim to password reset attacks.
