One of those "I'm a professional and this almost caught me" ones. He includes a couple of points at the end to avoid this kind of thing.

What made the attack impressive was the next move: The scammers actually contacted Apple Support themselves, pretending to be me, and opened a real case claiming I’d lost my phone and needed to update my number. That generated a real case ID, and triggered real Apple emails to my inbox, properly signed, from Apple’s actual servers. These were legitimate; no filter on earth could have caught them.

Robert, I know you mean well, but it’s a bit ironic in this case that you’re inviting people to click on a link to an unknown website if they want to know more about how this particular phishing scam actually works. People clicking on links is how a lot of phishing scams start.

You’re by no means the first one to share an article in this way on this forum. When I read the responses to such topics, I’m always surprised and worried how many people are willing to click on links that are shared like this.
