We've received reports that customers are receiving calls from a company claiming to be Apple informing them that their Apple ID has been compromised. The culprits are calling random numbers, mainly in the United States. If you follow their prompts to "secure your account," you'll be transferred to a call center in India who will then try to get as much personal information from you as possible; they will try to get your credit card information to charge a fee to secure the compromised account.

Apple WILL NOT call you, even if your account is compromised. If you get the call, don't worry about changing your password—they are randomly calling anyone they can, whether they have an Apple ID or not.

To stay protected against scams like these and other cybersecurity threats, consider reviewing our Cybersecurity Services and Security Awareness Training options. ITECS offers comprehensive IT support to help individuals and businesses stay secure in an evolving digital landscape.
