"Apple account change notifications are being abused to send fake iPhone purchase phishing scams within legitimate emails sent from Apple's servers, increasing legitimacy and potentially allowing them to bypass spam filters."
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...change-alerts-abused-to-send-phishing-emails/
"The phishing email was sent from Apple's infrastructure using the address appleid@id.apple.com and passed SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication checks, indicating it was a legitimate email from Apple."
"To conduct the attack, the threat actor creates an Apple ID and inserts the phishing message into the account's personal information fields, splitting the text across the first and last name fields."
 
One week has passed, no reply from Apple.
"BleepingComputer contacted Apple on Friday about this campaign, but did not receive a response, and the abuse is still possible."
