As iPhone users, we are led to believe that all messages from Apple are important and actually come from Apple. What should you do if you receive what appears to be an emergency message asking you to change your Apple ID password?
That's an attack.
Multiple users have reported receiving the message “Please update your Apple ID from this iPhone.” Here are some things to keep in mind. Do not change your password in response to messages or notifications.
Several iPhone users shared recent messages they received at least six times in a day on online forums. Even worse, my phone didn't respond until I clicked or tapped on the message.
When you tapped the message, you received a system notification asking you to approve resetting your password.
And they had to reply to each message in order to use the phone.
One user shared on X that he received a call from someone spoofing his Apple Security number even after he answered “I don't allow it.” The suspicious user asks the caller to provide some of the information Apple has on her, and responds by giving her name, date of birth, and some other information stored at Apple. I was able to do.

This scam is called a bomb attack or fatigue attack. Scammers bombard you with messages in hopes that you will eventually comply out of confusion or frustration. Some users have reported receiving messages in the middle of the night.
If you fall for this scam and tap “Allow” on the follow-up notification, you will give the cybercriminals access to your Apple ID and account, which will disable all devices on your account. Criminals also have access to her credit card numbers stored on her iPhone.
Thanks to Apple's strict anti-theft and privacy policies, we hope you get your Apple ID back. The best course of action is to simply ignore the message. Additionally, if you need to respond to a follow-up notification, you must respond with “I don't allow it.”
To protect your Apple ID, set up an Apple recovery key.
● Go to Settings on your phone.
● Tap your name at the top of the page.
●[サインインと回復]Choose.
● Set a recovery key
The recovery key is a 28-character code that you must remember. Write it down and keep it in a safe place, such as in a book. In fact, you may want to hide it in multiple locations, but don't label it as “Apple Recovery Key.”
Please note that this key cannot be forgotten or lost. If you can remember it (or at least remember where you put it), you can recover your Apple ID and account by providing the key to Apple.
