I just got an email saying my Icloud was logged into from afghanistan and to verify.... is this a phish

The email has a, verify now, button. I don't want to enter my info, but Im not in afghanistan.


How can I tell if the email is legit?

It's a scam. Do not respond to it in any way. Real emails from Apple always address you by name and come from the apple.com domain, not some address that happens to have 'apple' in it somewhere. If you hover the cursor over any links without clicking on them the actual URL will show as a tooltip and if it's genuine it will be to an apple.com URL. Apple will never ask you to 'verify' your address, account or details in an email and will never send you messages telling you that your account has been or is about to be locked.
