Scammers' tactics are getting more sophisticated by the day -- and now they're coming for your iPhone. A new "smishing" tactic (SMS phishing) seeks to harvest your Apple ID and all the sweet, sweet data it contains, including your bank info, login credentials, and passwords. Merchants, if you use apps connected to your Apple ID to process transactions, these sinister tactics may possibly jeopardize your customer data, as well. You can learn more in this informative write-up from Macworld Senior Editor Roman Loyola. #iPhoneSecurity #iPhoneNews #iPhoneScams #smsScams #Cybersecurity #FraudPrevention #eCommerceSecurity #PaymentsSecurity #Smishing #Phishing #ScamPrevention

One of my absolute favorite things about Apple product users is when they tell me how secure and how safe the tech is from top to bottom. Spoiler alert. It's not.and you should still consider antivirus protection more than what their safety commercials present. A few years ago, I saw a presentation on hackers from an FBI agent who said, don't believe the hype. As many as 60 percent of the virus and hacking out there occurs on these devices. Cover your berries... or apples in this case. #Apple #vulnerabilities #iPhone #MacBook #hack #scam #cybersecurity

There are many known phishing attacks that target users of Apple devices to gain access to their Apple ID. However, a new “elaborate” attack uses a bug in the Apple ID password reset feature with “push bombing” or “MFA fatigue” techniques to flood Apple devices with password reset requests. We saw multiple cases of MFA Fatigue such as at Uber, Microsoft, Cisco etc. Keep your users informed of the signs and implement measures that keep you ahead. Read more below about this Apple specific phishing tactic. https://lnkd.in/epeZSkui #phishing #apple #jamf

Apple users beware! Phishing attacks have become more sophisticated with the rise of "MFA bombing." A bug in Apple's password reset feature is being exploited by attackers who flood devices with system prompts, followed by fake Apple support calls. The goal is to extract a one-time code for account verification. Stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to Apple support immediately. #cybersecurity #phishingattacks #Appleusers #MFAbombing

Apple has introduced "Threat Notifications" to warn users who might be targeted by high tech mercenary spyware attacks. 🚨 These notifications are meant to warn and assist users who are being specifically targeted because of who they are or what they do. According to Apple's latest security notice, these attacks are more complex than usual and basic cybercrimes because they target a small group of specific people and their devices. These can be a type of spear phishing. Read More: https://lnkd.in/gZmVhqqs #AppleSecurity #CyberSecurity #ThreatNotifications
