Cybersecurity experts warn of a new electronic scam targeting iPhone users around the world.
This scam aims to seize banking data and personal information through fake emails that appear to be from Apple and iCloud.
This trick relies on sending emails claiming that users have run out of iCloud storage space, urging them to upgrade their accounts immediately to avoid losing photos and videos, and disabling backup services and apps connected to the service.
These messages contain a link or button calling for an upgrade, but news reports, including one in The Guardian, show that this link refers users to malicious websites designed to steal sensitive data, including bank account details.
If users enter their data or make payments, fraudsters can use this information to steal money or sell it on the online black market.
Reports also stated that some of these messages are more threatening in nature, warning the user that his iCloud account will be closed within 48 hours if he does not take immediate action. (Russia Today)
