When I went to log on like usual to Apple plus it did something odd which is that it took us eventually to a grey screen where you cannot do anything include re-login again. Obviously there is malware involved. I get get into other STreaming Apps but not Apple plus.
Beware of this malware shutting you out of your Apple plus this time of year!
Normally I don't have to log it at all which was suspicious to begin with!
begin quotes:
No,
Apple's
main servers were not breached, but some Apple ID accounts have been
compromised due to malicious software stealing login credentials from
user devices. Apple also experienced a separate security vulnerability
in its developer website and other services, but has since patched it. What happened
- Compromised Apple IDs: An infostealer malware was responsible for stealing Apple IDs and passwords from infected personal devices, leading to account compromises.
- Apple's services: Apple's developer website was the target of a hacking attempt, but Apple reported that it was an external attack on their website, not a breach of its core customer data or the App Store.
- iCloud "fappening": In 2014, a similar incident where celebrity photos were leaked from iCloud accounts was also not an Apple system breach. Instead, hackers exploited weak passwords and other vulnerabilities to gain access to individual accounts.
What you can do
- Change your password: Go to your Apple ID account settings and change your password to a new, strong, and unique one.
- Enable two-factor authentication: Make sure two-factor authentication is enabled on your Apple ID for added security.
- Be wary of suspicious activity: If you receive notifications about unrecognized devices, password changes, or other suspicious account activity, take action immediately by changing your password.
- Delete scam messages: If you see a pop-up message or get an email from Apple saying your device has been hacked, it's likely a scam designed to trick you into giving up your personal information.
- Keep your devices updated: Ensure your devices are running the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS to protect against security vulnerabilities.
