“Malicious Attacks”

I am getting random alerts on my ‘calendar’ app saying the following: “Protect your iPhone from Possible Malicious Attacks!” I am worried if this is not from Apple and is from a random user. There is a link that is attached to this: https://protections-fix.best/42bcUtWS . The link is saying for me to click it to get a VPN to protect my device. I would just like a confirmation from Apple saying it is them or if it is not. Thank you.

iPhone 7, iOS 13

No. That is not from Apple. Apple would not send you a link outside of their own domain (apple.com). And, if you look at the domain, it is not apple.com. In fact, a domain would not end in ".best".


Take Screenshots:

So, take some screenshots of the message and the sender's info, and then send them off to Apple, using this email address: reportphishing@apple.com

Go Here: Take a screenshot on your iPhone - Apple Support


Then, delete this message, and remove it from the Trash and Archive mailboxes.
