Very Sophisticated Phishing attempt!!

I recieved an email today about my Apple Live ID telling me that it would be frozen due to my account information not being verified.


This email is almost a perfect fake, comparing to a real email from apple there are only 2 discrepencies;


  1. It comes from a different email address (noreply@icloud.com) whereas all of my other emails from apple have come from (appleid@id.apple.com)
  2. The link it gives me leads to (http://updatecgiaple.byethost8.com/cgi.d) that is not an apple server, it is a free hosting website.


Please be careful of this as there are almost no indicators of errors.
