I suspect it's too early to write this off as a "minor thing" as Apple would like you to believe.
Evidence please.

Since this story first broke on Sunday, I've followed up every instance I can find. As I said in my first post in this thread, there are few verifiable facts. I am not 'writing it off' and, as I said, it's very serious for those affected. But all the evidence I can find suggests that this is indeed limited to a few hundred accounts.

There's no evidence out there either way as to whether this results from phishing or not.

And "Apple says it so it can't be true' isn't evidence - it's prejudice.
