How do you report Phishing to Apple.

This is third time I've asked how you report Spam to Apple. First time was 2009. I can not believe a multi-billion dollar company such as apple doesn't have a Place to report Spam. Banks do CC companies, do even other software companies do.


THis paticular piece has a persons name and address and Name sent to my email. if you hover over the links its obvious it’s a phishing attempt.


I think its bad Apple is being so cavilier about such a serious threat to their profits.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Apple ID.

Apple Legal:

For phishing attacks:


http://www.apple.com/legal/contact/

and there is a Phishing and Spam option in the popup under "I have a question about".

which also says, "If you receive phishing or spam messages purporting to be from Apple that you're not sure are valid, please report them here: reportphishing@apple.com."

Hi,


The page at

http://www.apple.com/legal/contact/


Confirms reportphishing@apple.com as the place to report this type of stuff.


It's probably always best to check on an Apple site to make sure the email address hasn't changed.


I just received one of these phishing attacks - it got past a filter at my ISP and Symantec's Brightmail service.

And Thunderbird didn't flag it either.

P.S. The automatic reply is not instantaneous.

I just got a Phishing email asking me to confirm my iTunes account. I sent it both to the reportphishing@apple.com and the legal page .


It has the Apple logo but is addressed to Dear Customer and has the word letter spelled as the Europeans spell it "Lettre" . It claims it is from Apple Security .

I hope Apple gets on this one fast before some one who is tired or not thinking responds to this email .

It looks like it could have come from Apple.
