"You Have Been Hcked" Email Received in My Apple Email Inbox

You've been hacked "Hello pervert" Email

Aug 27, 2024: I received this email message styled as if it was sent from my own email to the same email.


I assume it is spam, phishing, or malicious content and have not opened it.


What concerns me is that Apple does not seem to be running security checks on inbound emails that carry this same wording that is known to be malicious in intent. If Apple can stop other spam emails why can it not check for the same sequence of wording or instance of words to prevent these emails? People have reported receiving these messages for at least 3 years!


This seems to be a regular happening iCloud email so I am wondering


"Hello pervert, I've sent this message from your iCloud mail. 

I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you.


Does anyone have a response from Apple or the iCloud email team as to what they are doing to stop these messages?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 17

I’ve also received this email a few days ago.Its sender claimed to be trying to blackmail me by exposing me on social medias like WhatsApp, instagram, telegram and so on.However, this idiot obviously knows nothing about my privacy since I’m from china and don’t use any of these social medias at all.So I think the content of this email is completely fabricated.
