Apple ID phishing attack

[braumeister]

A particularly nasty new attack goes after your Apple ID and keeps popping up alerts asking you to reset your password. It can happen on almost any Apple device and you may be forced to click "Don't Allow" over 100 times before it quits. Stay safe out there!

Thanks folks! I just sent this to all my friends and family that have iPhones. Fortunately, I'm a long time Android user!

Thanks for the heads up. We are a family of android phone users but I do have an iPad so shall be on alert.
