Email Phishing Scam Targets AppleID Account Information

[DodgerKing]

But, a new “well-crafted” phishing scam is targeting Apple users in an effort to get then to provide their AppleID billing information. Intego posted an alert earlier this week about the scam. The phishing emails originate from appleid@id.apple.com and inform the recipient that their billing information is “out of date.”

The “convincing” part of the scam comes in the form of the Official Apple Online Store - Buy Mac Computers and Notebooks, iPhone, iPad, iPod, and More - Apple Store (U.S.) link that redirects the recipient to a “realistic” sign-in page, according to the report. The email uses Apple logos, the familiar grey background, font and other trademark information in an effort to dupe recipients.

Thanks! I have advised my family of this. Some of them are Apple fanboys who believe that Apple users are exempt from all this cyber crime.
