Fake Apple website

Hi,
My Apple ID was recently compromised and the criminal used www.icloudilocation.com to rob my ID and password. Beware!

How did you come across this? Did you receive an email that you thought was from Apple? If so, forward that email (if you still have it) to [email protected]

  • Fake Apple iTunes emails

    Recently I've been spammed a lot with fake emails saying they're from apple with the request to change my iTunes/iCloud password or to login to check some details.
    As I'm a professional IT dude I love to check how those scam things work.. and guess what.. I've found out that the server the email was sent from and linked to was not secured.. i've got (webFTP) access to it and was able to browse all files..
    The thing is.. Most of those emails link to look-a-like webpages where u can log in and are redirected to the official apple website..
    Between the login and redirection, your account details are emailed to some email adres..
    Dear Apple, it's your task now to perform extra steps.  you've now got the website IP, user email,..
    IP: 198.58.92.228
    website owner: <edited by host>
    passwords are emailed to: <edited by host>

    As Stedman1 says but also read the following notes from Apple.   They will alert you to the various other kinds of approach, too.  Never click on a link if you are not sure of the sender.

  • Fake order website.

    I was checking my orders.  I used google and came upon this.
    https://mercury.apple.com/WebObjects/ OrderStatus 
    I did not know how to check pre orders yet.  So I logged in.  It gave me a page telling me no orders have been made.
    Thank you for shopping with Apple.

    Thanks to this.  I am changing my password.  The verification is apple, but the page quality is horrible and why would you have to log in, then log in again after you already logged in? 
    It's fake for sure.  But I don't know where to report it to apple.

    It's not a fake order website.
    Click Store at top of this screen.
    Then click Account at top right then Track an order.
    To reset yoru password, don't send emails. Answer the security questions.
    Aftet you get in, make sure your email address is correct. Also, make sure your email has not sent the email to the SPAM folder.

  • Phishing sites from apple website

    I think I know the answer to this but I'll see if some of you who are way smarter than me have a solution.
    I was on the Apple website, truly the Apple website, as I have a permanent link on the bar to Apple. When I was shutting down the Safari window from viewing the Apple website, another window popped up saying I could register to win an iPad. Now I always ignore these kinds of things on my Windows machine since I know they're garbage but never experiencing one on my MAC and leaving the Apple site, I never even thought this one might be phishing. I entered my email on the first screen and clicked next and then it started asking a whole lot more detailed questions which I promptly said some unrepeatable words and shut down the window. Now I get small mountains of spam to my Apple email which I've never had before. Other than changing my email address, is there any way to stop the spam? I mark everything as junk but the Apple mail program still lets it through, albeit a different colored message, and makes me delete it. Is there anything that will bounce emails marked as spam from the senders at the server level so the same address can't send me any more garbage? I was hoping marking the emails as spam/junk that Apple was utilizing this at the server level to identify spammer IP's and addresses and blocking them from getting to our email much like gmail does. Thanks for any advice in advance.

    Bouncing spam will do no good, since the senders are almost certainly using fake return addresses. All you'd accomplish is getting an "invalid address" message back.
    Since you're now on probably dozens of spam lists and almost certainly will continue to get onto more, changing your email address is in all likelihood the most effective thing to do. Spammers do a lot to disguise their junk from spam filters, so stuff always can get through. I've found SpamSieve to be more effective at blocking than Apple's junkmail filter, so you can give that a try first if you wish:
    http://c-command.com/spamsieve/
    If you're using MobileMe email, Apple's junkmail filter isn't very sophisticated; most email providers' anti-spam filters aren't since they can't risk being overly aggresive and thereby blocking valid emails. If you use some other email provider, discuss the issue with your provider. Changing your email address is probably the only good solution, though. I've had to do that two or three times in the last few years due to spam. I use Spam Gourmet, a nifty free service that allows you to set up "temporary" email addresses for use with sites you don't completely trust, and that's cut down massively on spam. I've still had vendors from whom I purchased things sell my email address to spammers, though.
    It's unlikely you have any spyware on your system unless the web site downloaded something that you then allowed to install. More likely you just had a delayed site hijack/tag from another web site (not Apple's) that popped up that window on a window close. Those aren't uncommon, particularly if you don't have the "block popups" set on your web browser.
    Regards.

  • Where on the Apple website  do I go to get a separate iCloud account for my wife so we can keep our text messages separate?

  • HELP: iTunes crashes (won't open), and Apple website crashes Explorer too

    I've had an iPod for years, and have 16G + of music in my library on my old desktop computer. That computer is EXTREMELY slow, however.
    I got an iPhone last week. So since I want more ease of music access, I thought I'd install iTunes on my laptop (which is so much faster), and move my music from my old desktop.
    Last weekend, I only got around to installing iTunes on my laptop, and authorizing that computer so I could download some apps.
    This weekend, I tried to open iTunes on my old desktop computer again, so I could start the process of moving my music library to the laptop. I was surprised to discover that iTunes won't even open anymore, at all. I just get the standard error message, "iTunes 8.0 experienced a problem and had to close." Believe me, I've restarted the computer several times, and it still won't open. I've run Norton, and there are no viruses identified either.
    So, I thought I should go to the Apple website and download the program again. Not possible! Anytime I even try to go to www.apple.com or www.apple.ca or www.itunes.com/downloads, my Explorer browser window crashes. In fact, it crashes any and ALL open browser windows, not just the one that I typed an apple URL into.
    I'm fortunate that can use my laptop to access this apple forum, or I'd really be at a loss.
    Is this happening because I authorized my laptop? It seems more like an evil Apple-hating Microsoft virus somehow...
    What can I possibly do to get my iTunes library (all 16 gigs of it) to my laptop, WITH all my carefully organized playlists, etc?

    Sounds a lot like a virus I had on my desktop..it finally forced me to wipe everything and go with the laptop.
    However you could try to download Firefox, or another browser, and then try to log onto Apple. Maybe its completely an Explorer issue? Cant hurt to try at least. Firefox is quick and free to download.

    And no, I am not one of those "Firefox is the answer to everything" people...you could try the new Google Chrome browser as well.

    Good luck..I know how frustrating this is. I hope something works.

    Thank you!

    Your brother may have downloaded and installed something known as "adware." To see if that's the case, visit thomas_r.'s The Safe Mac website and look at the Adware Removal Guide page. You may also be able to use his Adware Removal Tool to get rid of the junk.

  • My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

    Hello, 
    I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

  • Apple website v e r y  S L O W on Windows VISTA 64

    Apple has a great support website (you are on it!) but I experience extremely slow response between clicks and sometimes no response at all. No other site gives me this trouble. It works fine on Safari (naturally!). Is this a known problem with a solution or is it a planned event by Apple?
    Thanks, Bob

    Exact same problem here, on Windows Vsita + Internet Explorer (www.apple.com doesn´t respond properly but every other website works fine.)
    I just installed Mozilla Firefox and the apple website works fine,
    im worried about this problem to be somekind of malicious script or worm ??
    I cannot find an apple customer service email either to ask about this

  • I have an older I Mac operating system 10.6.8 and want to upgrade.  I've been told that the only upgrade available for my machine is 10.7.5.  On what website can I find this upgrade or how do I find this upgrade on the Apple website?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Without using iTunes, I want to browse to an Apple website that shows me the list of devices associated with my Apple Id

    My primary goal:  I want to browse to some Apple website where I have already logged in using my Apple Id and password, and I then want to click a link that will bring me to a page that will show me the Apple Devices that I "own", that are associated with either "me" (whatever that entity Id should be) or with my Apple Id.  Most importantly, I want to do this without using iTunes.  I have seen my list of devices before on an Apple web page, and it even shows the MAC addresses of the devices.  I did not reach this list by using iTunes.
    I know for an absolute fact that an Apple Customer Service rep on the phone showed me some trick for viewing all the devices that I had purchased. There was even a device that another person had purchased and then had sold to me, and this Apple rep showed him how to "disown" the device and she then walked me through how I could take over ownership of the same device).
    The procedure that she walked me through might not have anything to do with my Apple Id.  It might have had to do with some other unique way of identifying myself.   I simply cannot remember, and I cannot imagine what that Id would have been.  I have searched and searched via Google and every result returned by Google always talks about using iTunes to associate an Apple device with my Apple Id.
    My secondary goal:  If this is not the appropriate community to which I should have sent this question, all I can say is that it was the closest match that I could find.  If no one here can help me achieve my primary goal, can you please suggest another community to which I should post my question?
    Thanks!

    After hours and hours of failed searches, I must have used a different keyword in my Google search, and here is the website that I was looking for:
    https://supportprofile.apple.com
    And here is the guy whose website I found that helped me solve my problem:
    http://www.marcomc.com/2011/01/how-to-find-the-list-of-my-apple-registered-produ cts/
    I was going to rant here about how badly Apple designed their "Apple Id" stuff, how they strongly distinguish between using your Apple Id at the online Apple Store vs. using it at the App Store (which you have to get to via iTunes ... quite ridiculous) ... but I won't.  :-)
    Anyway, I hope that the two previously mentioned websites will be of help to others.

  • HT1926 How do I authorize a windows 8/64 but I/explorer computer?The Apple website is way out of date and the support led to an unknown error -42110 and the advice was wrong and inoperable from the support man Gulab

    I have bought a New Computer as my Old one did it's HDD. I now have windows 8/64 bit  I/E 10 and am trying to Authorise my New Computer. I have downloaded the latest version and I got an ""unknown error -42110 "" .I went to te apple website and that says how to deactivate a SC folder or something in windows 7 or windows vista.
    It also says to go to ""store|"" > Authorise Computer"" and I can't get anything,so I contacted  Apple support and I got some person called Gulab who sent me links to the same obsolete apple website which says exactly what I have said above.
    I open iTunes and it lets me login with my apple id and says that I have $78.00 in credit and to be honest I can't understand the updated version/s let alone find how to ""Authorise "" my new computer.Gulab said to delete te sc Folder but the website (Apple) says this ios for windows 7 and windows vista.
    Running around in circles. Apple website needs to be drastically updated instead of updating iTunes .
    Completely confused and so is the support staff....lololooolololol

    (1) There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:
