A new phishing attack has been targeting Apple users, bombarding them with notifications and attempting to trick them into allowing hackers access to their account. If the attackers get their way, you can be locked out of every single Apple device you own.
Documented by the Krebs on Security blog (via MacRumors), the exploit involves “MFA bombing,” or sending a constant stream of multi-factor authentication (MFA) requests to a user. These usually display the text “Use this iPhone to reset your Apple ID password,” with options for “Don’t Allow” and “Allow.”
