Posing as Apple, Phishers Attack MobileMe Users

by Lee Bains on February 12, 2009 at 01:30 PM


Yesterday, Cnet and Macworld reported that a new phishing scam is targeting the users of the Apple service MobileMe, and is doing so under the guise of an official Apple e-mail. Explaining that the user's monthly MobileMe payment has failed to go through, the e-mail directs the recipient to follow a link, where he or she is then instructed to enter credit card information. Seeing as we offer warnings about opening strange e-mails and entering your personal information into unfamiliar Web sites time and time again, we need not tell you good folks, "Don't do it."

But, just in case, "Don't do it!" [From: Macworld via Cnet]
