Just change your password again to make sure. If it is a fishing attempt then changing the password can make it harder for any chance of success. Use the official website by googling Apple login.
First, go into settings and look at the devices logged in. The list is in your account name at the top. Are they all yours? Could be bad pfishing attempts or could be some error in iCloud sending them.
Yeah, all my devices, all here with me right now. Only weird thing there is that my windows desktop was listed 4 times.
And now after changing password and signing into my phone, watch, and desktop, there is a new device, named after my desktop, but it says its an iPhone... but that its running windows?! https://snipboard.io/A40yZP.jpg
I feel like they're just trying to irritate me out of using a windows pc, though I'd sooner get rid of all my apple devices.
I guess I'm just going to see if the emails keep coming after the password change. We have no reason to suspect that the password was compromised... but hey, sometimes the things that dont seem to make sense end up working.
Here’s my theory. It’s not that your Windows desktop was listed 4 times. Those are 4 different devices. One of them is the real Windows desktop. The others are some other devices (could be the attacker’s, or your automation devices) that are using the same authentication token copied from your Windows machine. That’s why they are all recognized as your Windows desktop.
If you have MFA enabled, and getting these alerts it would suggest MFA has been bypassed. I would contact Apple immediately.
I really hope thats not the case, but I'm on chat w them right now just in case
So far, they're useless.
Ok, so one of the things you would want to do though is to goto appleid.apple.com and change your password just in case someone has it.
There are not anything out of ordinary showing on the account.
So, I just signed out of all my devices, for seemingly no reason. And they were going to end chat with... idk, seems fine to me, basically. I want to know why the fuck I'm getting these emails.
Does the link actually go where it says it goes? May be a phishing attempt?
The link isn't even clickable in the email, so I don't see how it could be a phishing attempt.
Edit: This wasn't meant to be a condescending tone or anything, not sure why the downvotes. Am I missing something?
Even if it is not clickable some folks copy/paste, and you can long press a url in iOS. The “L” in apple could be masked with an “i” but Apple should have bought that domain already. There was just a big phishing attack the other day where someone used an lookalike character that some browsers didn’t filter out.
Ah, ok. Makes sense. Let me take a look...
um, no, pasted it into sublime-text and did a find for a hand-typed url, and its all normal characters. Did an online string compare too, no difference.
At this point, I'm quite sure its a bug in either their server software, or the windows icloud application.
Do you some kind of iCloud backup running on an NAS or something like that? Some of them register as a Webbrowser login.
You basically got it,
https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/46308
I was going through homeassistant not too long ago, just connecting every integration I could find for my tech.
Opened up the settings after the password change and was greeted with an alert that the iCloud integration wasn’t working anymore.
