Is the email from n******o@b*****e.com actually from iCloud?

I received an email from n*******o@b****e.com stating that my Apple ID has been temporarily disabled and that I have missing or invalid info in my account and I have 48 hours to update it, otherwise it will be permanently locked. I assume this is phishing, but just to be sure I’m asking on here.

Phishing.


That would be phishing, and not reality, yes.


Apple doesn’t send those, and will simply lock your Apple Account on their servers.


A “from” email address can be spoofed / faked / forged, too.


A calling telephone number or SMS sending telephone number can be faked, too.
