Phishing Scam Targets Lost iPhone Owners to Steal Apple ID Credentials

A phishing scam is targeting iPhone owners who have lost their devices, with scammers sending text messages claiming the phones have been found. These messages lead victims to fake websites that mimic Apple's official interfaces, aiming to harvest Apple ID credentials and bypass security features like Activation Lock. The Swiss National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued warnings about this tactic, which exploits the emotional vulnerability of users desperate to recover their lost devices.
