Internet criminals are trying a new scam on users of Apple products
In the fake email, they convince their victims that their Apple ID needs to be unblocked
In an insidious way, they extract sensitive data and money from people
A very dangerous phishing campaign is now spreading among users of Apple products. You will receive a message at the email address you use to sign in to your Apple ID that your account has been locked and requires verification. As a result, the email is again after your money, as we will show in the analysis of this scam.
Scam on Apple fans
“Dear customer. We have recently blocked your account on our server due to failed verification of your details. Therefore, you need to update your information as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will lose your saved data.” is in the header of the scam email. We were given access to the fraudulent e-mail by a reader from Facebook, to whom we would like to thank.
At first glance, the e-mail does not contain any typos or other stylistic and grammatical inaccuracies. But that’s because it’s written in English. At the same time, Apple uses the language of the country in which the client is registered for official communication with customers.
As soon as you want to proceed with the verification process of your account, the fraudulent website “hee.txw.mybluehost.me” will ask you to log in to your Apple ID, then verify your contact information (address, phone, etc.) and finally your credit card information. Admittedly, the web page is graphically laid out very similar to the login gateway on Apple’s website. However, blurry textures of individual images can indicate fraud.
If you are a user of Apple products, beware of such highly targeted scams. The same applies to phishing campaigns, i.e. never click on even slightly suspicious e-mails, do not open their attachments, and if you are worried, contact the official support directly, where they will be happy to help you with anything.
