How to protect your Apple account and devices
Here are some things you can do to avoid scams that target your Apple account and devices.
- Never share personal information like credit card numbers, unless you can verify the recipient is who they claim to be.
- Protect your Apple ID. Use two-factor authentication, always keep your contact information secure and up to date, and never share your Apple ID password or verification codes with anyone. Apple never asks for this information to provide support.
- Never use Apple Gift Cards to make other kinds of payments.
- Learn how to identify legitimate Apple emails about your App Store or iTunes Store purchases. If you send or receive money with Apple Pay (U.S. only), treat it like any other private transaction.
- Learn how to keep your Apple devices and data secure.
- Download software only from sources you can trust.
- Don't follow links or open or save attachments in suspicious or unsolicited messages.
