It looks like Apple has fixed this issue. According to 9to5Mac the company responded. The company knows about the few recent cases of these phishing attacks and Apple has taken action to solve the problem
Hopefully it’s on their end so it gets stopped immediately. There’s been so many weird messages that I slide to report to Apple but wonder if that does any good.
You can do this options: 1. Settings > apple id > communication preferences > from there turn off announcements and app,music, tv etc to prevent apple spams 2. Settings > safari > advance > from there turn of privacy preserving ad mesurement to prevent ad tracking. 3. Settings > privacy and security > apple advertising > from there turn off personalized ads to limit apple ads. It works 100% to me without any issues
Also never answer unknown numbers you don’t know. If it’s legit and a real person then they will leave a voicemail. Scammers and fakes 99% of the time never leave voicemails. They normally just keep calling back to back using the same method in this video until you give in and answer.
no one leaves voicemails in Portugal since 10 years ago. Absolutely no one. Plus, there are MANY situations were not answering a no known phone can have terrible consequences. Alarm companies uses different numbers each time they call you, when the alarm goes off. Job interviewers call you from numbers you don´t know, and might not leave a messages if you don't answer.
Interesting if true. Does the EU use a different method or something? It maybe politically driven in nature than given our upcoming election this nov if we are really getting targeted specifically.
@@angelcmr2048 the EU is full of scams though lol. If there is money to be made, there will be scammers to take it, doesn’t matter what consumer protection you got. Talking to a few of my friends who live over in different bits of Europe. they seem to corroborate what the other comments are saying it’s definitely not a US only thing, but it appears that we are definitely getting hit a lot harder over here by this for some reason.
This happened to me last week. Said my gmail and other passwords are in risk. I went in to check and I thought it must be genuine and I should change the passwords. I was a bit low and lazy at that time that I thought I’d do this later and forgot about it. Thank god it all worked out well
A large amount of those reset password notifications happened to me late last night, took scrolling though many to click on don’t allow. This was the most intrusive I’ve ever seen!
Thank you Aaron, I haven’t experienced a serious scam on my iPhone 15 pro so far. My phone ☎️ is secure and clean. But thanks for making us aware of it anyway!
Informative video. However, you mention that scammers might call the iPhone user. You neglected to advise us to go to settings and turn on 'Silence Unknown Callers' or even screen scam calls and not answer. Then block the number. Apple will never call any iPhone user unless a call is scheduled with tech support.
Ok I know I’m seeing this later but I just got this pop up a few minutes ago. Luckily I knew the scam was out there so I didn’t fall for it. I can’t just change numbers because of work so what way helps get rid of this?
Apple should have a waiting time period before they send another authentication notification to the user... lets say one notification every 10 min, this way is more manageable to solve the problem by changing personal information
On my I phone, if they are not in my Contacts, my phone will not accept the call. My phone is set for SILENCE UNKNOWN CALLERS! (SYSTEMS) (PHONE) (SILENCE UNKNOWN CALLERS)
Same thing happened with my apple iphone. The way I solved the problem was turned the phone off took my sim out of it and put the phone in a drawer and bought a samsung phone put my sim in it and no more problems.
I had a pop up saying my password had been compromised and asked me to put in my phone password 6 numbers but I ignored it and not heard anything since and this was a couple of days ago. Mandy 🇬🇧
@@zollotech thanks ever so much I went to settings and password and I was shocked to see that I had 69 compromised sites so I changed my passwords on them all and deleted some of them I don’t use Your advice was very helpful and I am very grateful Mandy 🇬🇧
I didn’t get those exact warnings. My warnings stated something like my passwords were found on the net in hacked areas for various sites like Google and some bank apps I don’t use . I just ignored them. Found it odd that I’d get a bunch of them. Anyone else get a similar message and not the ones shown in this video? Hopefully Apple will address it and solve it.
@@zollotech even though I'm three months late, on this, this is extremely important information, because you never know what could be out there. I haven't experienced anything like this and Apple did fix the issue on their end. But still, extremely important information.
My iPad flashed up a whole load of warnings about my passwords being part of a data breach and that I should change them all. Is that a scam? I have not done anything about it as yet.
I had encountered something like this on my Mac some time ago, and I can't remember how I fixed it, but I googled the problem and someone had the answer. I knew that it was a scammer.
Surprised this has not hit main news by now. As always thank you for sharing important information in a professional video :) I'll be sure to share the video online.
Limit the password change requests to 1 per day, they way you will need to call iPhone to get access to account, also register the up address request came from. Apple then could compare to your actual up address and bar white or black list specific up adress form using the password reset page.
but there’s a bug on ios 17.4.1 second build 1. Sometimes my phone get stuck or non-response 2. The clock widget on lockscreen get cover or tampered 3. Battery getting drain so fast So I’m going back to first build iOS 17.4.1
I took a screenshot of my recovery key and put it on my Google Drive right now. I plan to download it later. Thanks for your videos. Especially the one about going into screen time (or whatever) and disabling those two features. I’m Andrew. As an aside … I currently have iOS 17.4.1.
My iPhone 15 plus having problem while charging it make screen uneasy to touch or hold on screen while you wanna view the notification without opening it #help or explain why
Thanks Aaron in a past video you talked us through setting up screen time password to protect our accounts - should we now start using the new Stolen Device protection
this is so weird. Apple should post and say something💯😐. can they send a email as a push mail notification?. So many cyber attacks and nobody talks about it anymore……..
Anther way you cam midgate it is by enabling the Spam spoofing on your iPhone as well as using a business class email service that blocks data leaks of email addresses such as office 365 with the delete me service off dark web as well
No I’ve had no issues so far whosoever tries me to give information over the phone I don’t give it I am using an app to identify fraudulent phone callers not in my contact list, and I send to spam any unknown email that I have not allowed in my email! Any further suggestions from you Aaron will be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your security video! Excellent!
Use security keys to lockdown your iCloud account. That stolen device protection seems to be a great way to further protect ourselves. That said, I’ll not run out panicking, screaming of fear because there’s nothing to fish for using security keys and if YOU don’t give away any information.
Hi Aaron I absolutely love your weekly updates . Yes I’ve had many password warnings to reset them , banks , Facebook and more . I don’t changes because my passwords for banking is massive sure 👍 so I’ve so glad to you Aaron for help . Keep up the great work 👍
To maintain overall stability & security. That does not include interim threats from scum working around the clock to dupe careless iOS users. Thankfully, Apple doles out timely & effective iOS updates. As long as we update when Apple prompts us, we should be safer than most.
In Zambia iphones are changing to No Service or No Sim Card, i dont know if its a bug or Apple is restricting iPhones in some countries… is there anyone or country with this same issue?

Would we need to update our system?

Some people will still fall for it 😢
@@leslie594 Yes it does, imo. If we don't alert Apple they will never realize the extent of a phishing attack.
My mum is on iOS 17.4.1 on an iPhone 11 Pro and is still getting this problem on April 1st 2024 (it’s not an April fools mind lol)
I just clicked on each prompt and deleted. No calls received as my block list is bigger than my contact list.
You can do this options:
1. Settings > apple id > communication preferences > from there turn off announcements and app,music, tv etc to prevent apple spams
2. Settings > safari > advance > from there turn of privacy preserving ad mesurement to prevent ad tracking.
3. Settings > privacy and security > apple advertising > from there turn off personalized ads to limit apple ads.
It works 100% to me without any issues
I've turn them off too.. gracias 😊
You’d think everyone is already doing this lol thanks reminding people 👍🏻
That will not work as it is a password reset issue. However, it has since been resolved on Apple's server side.
@@zollotech true!! but as for the others like me it can mitigate showing any notification’s showing on apples error’s as you told..

How does it get on our iPhones to begin with
Dunno , I was thinking it came through as a message ?
Thank you Arron much appreciated 😎
Haven’t heard of this in Europe. Scammers might be targeting mostly US users
Interesting if true. Does the EU use a different method or something?
It maybe politically driven in nature than given our upcoming election this nov if we are really getting targeted specifically.
I'm in Poland and I only got a couple of these prompts on monday 25th, thought it's a bug and just restarted all my devices and never got a call.
Unfortunately most US residents are easy to trick that’s why scammers target them more.

go to your settings and then passwords and security suggestions. If it is there it is real, otherwise ignore it.

Nice video. Thanks for the warning.
If a person continues to dismiss the alerts, will it continue until you respond to it?
Why would it say allow instead of reset password?..
Got something like that through the mail saying have been hacked... I just made use of the block 🚫 option.
How do we find the companies where the data leak has happened and we sue them someone needs to be held responsible. I need compensation for my time.

I being using my phone with out no case for more then 1 months now
I think Apple needs to release the new iOS 18 right away because then we’re gonna have some issues with the 17 all the time
I had encountered something like this on my Mac some time ago, and I can't remember how I fixed it, but I googled the problem and someone had the answer. I knew that it was a scammer.

This really something Apple needs to fix.

Anyone know if this is global or just a US thing? At the moment at least.
It’s global
@@zollotech not even one of my friend and all people, that I know don't have it even once. I think is US thing, in EU its more safe.

Hi Aaron, thanks for this information. Do physical security keys help to protect from this type of attacks?
Yes, because when you set your security keys, no more Apple code is used as 2FA. I use yubikeys in my Apple ID. But you need at least 2 of them.

@zollotech , I’m on latest iOS , there is no Face ID and passcode option .
So what now ?😅
Exactly what i do notice and it’s so sad it’s happening hopefully it will be fixed soon as possible.
I hope that this don’t happen to me n I feel bad that it’s happening to anyone 😢❤
I got different type of prompt which was odd. I got a prompt that was a similar alert saying that you device is being used for FaceTime and iMessage.

is an older version of iOS 15.7 at risk as well ?
The issue has been resolved, but all iPhones were at risk cause it was fixed on Apple side
@@zollotechresolved how? iOS update or server/back end fix? Which version has the fix?
Thanks for your full explanation 🙏
Nice video like always👍
does this come from the new update that opens the phone to 3rd party stuff? .. if so iam glad still being on 17.3.1
Anyone who would fall for this should be prevented from owning a smart phone. Have we ever thought of that?

This has happened to me twice in the last week.
Are you selling maybe 1 or 2 of those phones? You can’t be using all of them..
Is this a world wide issue yet or so new, it’s not known?
Good thing I don’t use two factor
Are MacBooks also vulnerable?
Technically yes, but Apple fixed it already on the server side.

Maybe thats why apple want you to update through mac.
I don’t think so. They haven’t made a comment and they would typically tell people that they’ve fixed it.
