credential_theft

This email uses a personal iCloud account to send a fake Google activity report containing sensitive personal information.

Phishing likelihood85%
Spam likelihood40%
Red flags identified
  • The sender uses a personal iCloud address to send what appears to be an official Google/YouTube activity notification.
  • The email body contains a massive dump of personal activity history and PII, which is a common tactic in extortion or spear-phishing.
  • The subject line is a generic timestamp, which is highly unusual for automated service notifications from major platforms.
  • The message infrastructure shows a mismatch between the iCloud sender and the Google-branded content, indicating a lack of authenticity.
What to do

Do not click any links or interact with the sender. This is an impersonation attempt; mark the email as phishing and delete it.

MalwareTips never stores the raw address. Every input is SHA-256 hashed before persistence — the URL above IS that hash. We keep the local part, domain, and display name separately so the report can render them; the original raw input is dropped after the scan. If you received this email and are worried, do not click any links and do not reply — verify the sender through a known-good channel.
