Apple has acknowledged the iCloud security threat for the first time, posting a new security warning for users of its online service.
In a post on its support site the technology giant said: "We're aware of intermittent organised network attacks using insecure certificates to obtain user information, and we take this very seriously.
"If users get an invalid certificate warning in their browser while visiting www.icloud.com, they should pay attention to the warning and not proceed."
Attempts to log in to Apple's iCloud service in China have seen users directed to a spoof website which may be harvesting passwords.
Web connections to the login page are blocked and a dummy site that looks virtually identical is presented instead.
Those using Chrome and Firefox browsers are automatically notified that they are no longer on Apple's website, but users of Chinese browser Qihoo will see no indication of the issue.
Apple said its servers have not been compromised in any way.
Since details of the attacks first emerged, some internet activists have claimed that China is behind them.
However, Hua Chunying, a spokesman for China's foreign ministry, said the government was "resolutely opposed" to hacking.
State-owned internet provider China Telecom added that the accusation was "untrue and unfounded".
