Default iPad iTunes account hack?--FDX

Over the past few weeks I keep getting the following emails from Apple (i think) to the email associated with my FDX iPad:

"To reset your Apple ID password, simply click the link below. That will take you to a web page where you can create a new password.

Please note that the link will expire three hours after this email was sent.

Reset your Apple ID password >

Questions? There are lots of answers on our Apple ID support page >

If you weren't trying to reset your password, don't worry – your account is still secure and no one has been given access to it. Most likely, someone just mistyped their email address while trying to reset their own password.

Thanks,
Apple Customer Support"

I haven't made any attempts to change my password, but I'm guessing someone has........

Anybody else getting these? I don't keep anything but company cr*p on the company iPad, but it's making me feel like maybe big brother is watching me......

Possible hack attempt, or possibly someone in need of new bifocals mistyped their (similar) ID and is trying to reset your account inadvertently.

Sounds like a phishing attempt sent by someone other than Apple.

Default FYI

There has been an Apple phishing email making the rounds in our organization.

The subject includes "Please confirm your account information" and is being sent by "apple dot com dot soucyshanghai dot com"
