Your Apple ID is the key to your Apple identity, which is probably why that's what it's called. It's what you sign into all of your devices with and it's how you get access to your contacts, backups, photos and videos, and more. And losing access to it can be devastating. That's what makes a new wave of Apple ID scams so worrying, and there doesn't seem to be a way to prevent them from happening beyond staying vigilant and hoping that the scammers don't turn their attention to you.
The scam is a relatively simple one. According to reports, attackers bombard an iPhone owner with notification after notification by trying to reset the person's Apple ID password via the Apple website. That action triggers the message from Apple's servers and users are asked to allow or deny a password reset. If they press the Allow button, the attacker will be able to reset the password and potentially gain access to the Apple ID.
