thank you for information

Just remember, these scammers want to scare you because when people are scared, they don't always make good decisions. So, whenever you see something like this, stop, take a few deep breaths, and then try to think clearly about what is happening.

Thanks a lot . so I can't find out who is trying to hack my Apple ID?!

It's someone who is sending out messages to every phone number they can. They use computer programs to do this. They aren't specifically targeting you. They're trying every possible number in the hopes that at least a couple of people will be tricked into giving them information.

Do NOT under any circumstances try to change your password by clicking on a link in those messages.


If you are getting an SMS message requesting that you change your password, those are scam messages. Someone is trying to get you to click on the link in the message and enter your Apple ID and passcode. Apple does not use SMS to send notifications to your phone about people trying to log into your account. They use a proprietary messaging system.


The good news is that those messages do not mean that your Apple ID has been compromised (unless you clicked on one of them and entered information). Just delete them and move on.
