Apple Global Service Exchange Has Been Compromised
This may not be "news", but Apple's GSX (Global Service Exchange) site has been compromised for some time. This is the site is where/how Apple and Apple Service Providers order, receive, and are paid for in-warranty parts for computers covered under AppleCare. I haven't seen this posted much of anywhere, although there's a thread about it at JAMF (https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=13767).
I know this for a fact because I have had my own Apple ID compromised, but apparently only the one with which I had access to GSX. I no longer have the same access, but I receive these emails only at the email/Apple ID with which I once had access to GSX, not any other emails associated with other Apple IDs. The emails are about as stupid as other phishing gambits, but that fact that someone has been able to access Apple's database of Service Providers is indeed disturbing, or at least annoying.
