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appleid@id.apple.com and inform the recipient that their billing information is “out of date.”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.
