Steps to Protect iPhone from Reset Attacks

Recently, there has been a worrying trend in iPhone security: the rise of iPhone password reset attacks, also known as “MFA bombing.” This sneaky method involves using the Apple ID password reset system to flood users with iOS prompts, in an attempt to take control of their accounts. Given these developments, Apple users need to strengthen their defenses against such devious schemes.
MFA bombing, also called MFA fatigue or push bombing, involves bombarding unsuspecting victims with numerous official iOS password reset prompts. As Krebs Security explains, malicious actors exploiting this vulnerability use the victim's phone number to send over a hundred multi-factor authentication (MFA) messages to their iPhone and other Apple devices, thus forcing them to reset their Apple ID password.
