Weird issue tonight in iMessage.
My dad and I were texting earlier this evening. I sent him a text telling him to check his email and then I received a response with several odd typos and a message that he had forgotten his email password. He then asked me to send it to him. It looked suspicious as it clearly wasn't written in his voice.
I called him and he was at a neighbor's birthday party and not on his phone. He didn't send the texts about his passwords.
I worked with him to reset his Apple password and sign out of all of his Apple devices.
Does anyone have any insights into this? What else should we be doing?
P.S. He admits to clicking on odd text messages he receives with links embedded, particularly those from "people I know" and links to Facebook.
We had a stern discussion (lecture) about pfishing and other social engineering tactics used by bad actors. He's far too trusting at 75 years old...
