TL;DR Summary

Apple users are being targeted in an advanced phishing attack that exploits a potential bug in Apple's password reset feature, bombarding them with endless password change notifications in an attempt to trick them into approving the change. Attackers are able to lock users out of their accounts if the request is approved, and they may also make phone calls pretending to be Apple support to obtain one-time password reset codes. The attack seems to exploit a bug in Apple's forgotten password page, and affected users should be cautious and avoid clicking "Allow" on any suspicious requests.
