Ask HN: Did my girlfriend get her Apple account hacked?
So yesterday my girlfriend received a bunch of weird iMessages saying that "Find my iPhone" had found her lost iPhone (which obviously wasn't lost). It included this link http://bit.do/lost-or-stolen which in turn just redirects to http://188.26.15.18 (it's still up). The page looks exactly like the "Manage your Apple ID" page.
But before I managed to stop her she had tried to login and I assume her credentials got sent to some hacker. We immediately changed all of her passwords, but has anyone else seen this?
A traceroute seems like it ends up in Russia:
$ traceroute 188.26.15.18
...
9 xr01.amsterdam.rdsnet.ro (80.249.208.51) 31.182 ms 31.053 ms 31.012 ms

And HTTP headers hints that it's just a simple Python web server:
$ curl -I http://188.26.15.18
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: SimpleHTTP/0.6 Python/2.6.5
