Your Apple ID Has Been Disabled - Phishing Scam ??

Not a question, only something on my mind....

I received the attached phishing scam email today. I did not click on button and my Apple ID is Not disabled.

This email is only registered with Apple, I get no spam or other emails sent to this particular account.

So, I wonder how someone got hold of this email to send a malicious email.

Either there has been a data breach at Apple or Yahoo?! It can't be any other possibility.

Care to comment some from Apple Security?

Obviously phishing. No breach at Apple that I know of.

In a message Apple will always address you by your real name, never by your email address or Dear Customer. Also the sent-from address should be @apple.com or @itunes.com Additionally Apple does not send attachments.

Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com
