Reset apple ID emails received but not requested

So it begs the question, did your password actually get changed?

Call me paranoid but if this happened to me I would make a point of changing my password to something really difficult and I would set up two step verification http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Thank you so much. Was receiving the response emails at the "rescue"email address I had provided and forgot all about. All fixed now.

I've also been receiving (started yesterday) emails indicating I wanted to reset my password-- with the link the reset it. I've just woke up to another email... As did my husband (on his account). I've now resetting password 4 times.... Do we have an answers why this is happening?

I'll add my name to the list (though this is the wrong forum for this problem). I've had 3 today. 6am, 11am, 3pm. Short of just ignoring the e-mails, I'm not sure what else I can do. Password's already sufficiently strong. Heck, I don't even know which ID someone's trying to compromise. I have 3 😝

To change your password if you are not sure if the e-mail is not a scam, DO NOT USE the link, go to https://appleid.apple.com yourself.

Someone is trying to hack your account.

Always good advice. Since these e-mails appear to be legit (at least mine were), it's probably time to emable two-step authentication if you haven't aready.

I've had 4 e-mails today saying the same thing. Oddly enough, they didn't go to my primary Email address, they all went to my secondary address.

I didn't click anything in them, which tells me the hackers are trying to flood the password reset servers to force some sort of buffer overflow to gain access to the servers. Like how they probably did the other day with the Developer Account Servers.

Apple might want to look into this ASAP.

The fact that they are requesting a reset means they don't have your Apple ID password. HOWEVER, they may have your Email Account's password and they might be trying to log into your Email so they can click the reset link themselves.

From there, they could set their own password and lock you out of your own account.

I would suggest changing your EMAIL account's password, not your Apple ID password. This way, they won't be able to log into your Email and click the reset link themselves.

Scan your system first though - just in case they get a keylogger on their somehow.

Seems like it may be related to Apple's recent hack:

This is a big issue. I have also been receiving these reset emails today (3). Since it is not coming from my regular email address or my alternate email address it means that somebody had already access to my account and is trying to reset my password because he/she doesn't have the answers to my security questions and thus can send a reset email to a third (!!!) email address that he/she would not see at any other place.

DO SOMETHING APPLE.

Why do you say that 'hackers' flooded the Developer Account Servers?

Wasn't there an attempt a few months ago by some hackers to compromise accounts through some sort of Password Reset glitch?

Which sorta forced the whle secondary authorization stuff into effect in the first place?

I think this was it.... http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57487873-83/apple-responds-to-journalists-iclou d-hack/
