Phishing Attack Experience: Matt Mullenweg shares insightful experience with a sophisticated phishing attempt. Fake password reset prompts on his Apple devices led to scammers impersonating him to Apple Support.

The scam was revealed when Mullenweg noticed the website was a replica without verification. He warns others to never approve unsolicited password resets, recognize that Apple won’t call first, and always verify URLs to avoid scams.
