TL;DR

Apple users are being targeted by a sophisticated phishing scam that bombards them with fake password reset requests, with scammers even calling and posing as Apple Support. The scam exploits a bug in Apple's password reset feature, and users are urged to be cautious and not provide any personal information or one-time passcodes to unknown callers. Apple declined to comment on the phishing attacks but directed users to its support article on recognizing phishing attempts.
