Apple device owners should be careful when working with e-mail, as theft of Apple ID has become more frequent lately. This happens according to a completely standard scheme with the help of "phishing", which forces a person, in the literal sense, to transfer his account data to cybercriminals himself.

The emails sent by Apple look almost real and warn the owner of the gadget about some problems related to his account. This is followed by a proposal to click on the link to go to the official website, where, as expected, it will be possible to correct the misunderstanding.
Do not do this under any circumstances, because the letter will, of course, redirect to a fake site, which will pass your Apple ID and password into the wrong hands
Despite the painstaking work of the scammers, the letter can still be distinguished if you look closely at the details. Carefully review the entire text, paying special attention to the absence of a name when addressing or obvious spelling and semantic errors. A company as large as Apple is unlikely to tolerate this kind of negligence in mailing lists to users.
Most often, scammers use the fact of logging into a user account from a different IP address as a cause of alarm, but everyone who is at least a little familiar with Apple's policy is well aware that the company does not check such things, making it possible to use the account in any convenient place and on all possible devices.

And Apple will never ask you to click on the link embedded in the letter in order to get verified.
Therefore, please be careful when reading emails or following links. Better still, protect yourself from such actions and warn all your relatives, friends and acquaintances who may become a potential victim of such phishing.
You can always perform all actions with your Apple ID on the official Apple website https://appleid.apple.com/ru/ without clicking on the link in the letter.
