- Don’t let hackers get their hands on your Apple ID with these tips

Another day, another attempt to steal your log in credentials – this time courtesy of a phishing email that claims to be from Apple Support. Don’t be fooled however, this isn’t from Cupertino. It’s actually an attempt to get you to click on a link so hackers can steal your login credentials and other sensitive information.
This email, like many other phishing attempts, uses look-a-like formatting and other details to make you think it’s coming from a legitimate source. This latest threat says that your Apple ID has been suspended due to unusual activity or missing or invalid information. The email looks remarkably similar to actual emails from Apple Support and contains a blue button that says “Go to Apple ID.”

It is really amazing that this <synonym for excrement> still works.
Browsers should not automatically make emails clickable.
Argh!
