The report details an iCloud-themed phishing campaign that sends urgent emails or texts claiming a user’s iCloud storage is full and threatening to delete data unless a small payment (commonly £0.99 or €0.99) is made; links in the messages redirect to phishing sites that harvest personal and payment information. It notes language variants (English and Spanish), emphasizes that legitimate Apple storage alerts appear in device settings, and advises users to avoid unsolicited links, contact Apple directly, and use anti-scam tools like Malwarebytes Scam Guard.
