> Apple is using device serial numbers for anti-spam, supported by a fully-authenticated hardware and software stack that does not allow user modification.

This can't be true. It is trivial to get iMessage working in a macOS VM with randomly generated hardware IDs.

That attitude is what gets people phished. They are generally very clever, but will take the path of least resistance. If you accuse them of anything, it’s laziness.
