--FILE--View of an Apple store in Beijing, China, 20 June 2018. US-based Apple Inc strongly suggested its device users in China activate two-factor authentication function for Apple ID as some iPhone users have complained that money was stolen through online payment services caused by an Apple ID breach. Apple's investigation has found that a minority of users encountered phishing scams under the condition that their Apple ID has not opened two-factor authentication, the company said in a statement sent to the Global Times on Tuesday. The investigation also found a rise in false and fraudulent refund claims trying to take advantage of this incident, read the statement. "We care deeply about our customers in China and want to ensure they have the best experience with our products, " Apple noted, adding that it is proactively identifying suspicious activities and reaching out to affected customers.
