SMS spam threat targets Apple fans | Apple, Mac, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it
From www.net-security.org - January 17, 7:58 AM

AdaptiveMobile today sheds light on the extent of a new global SMS spam threat. According to Ongoing Threat Analysis (OTA) which examines mobile security threats from around the world, consumers should to be on the lookout for fraudulent spam texts informing them they have won a free Apple product such an iPad, iPhone or MacBook.

The texts frequently include a web address that looks like it is from Apple but upon closer inspection is not a legitimate Apple website and are sent from US mobiles numbers (+1-XXX-XXX-XXXX).

“Congratulations! You are Australia’s WINNER OF THE DAY! Go to http://www.apple.au.[redacted].com to claim your prize. Must claim within 24 hrs.”

“Your phone was randomly chosen as Apple’s Over-Stock iWinner. Go to http://ie.appleoverstock.[redacted] & type code 2872 to win your Free Gift-Card now!”

New Mac Trojan copies successful Windows Trojan technique

New Mac Trojan copies successful Windows Trojan technique | Apple, Mac, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it
From www.net-security.org - September 23, 2011 1:28 PM

Windows users have been warned time and time again of malware hiding behind icons and extensions belonging to files associated with legitimate software - most notably PDF, DOC and XLS files.

 

In spite of that, malware peddlers have had a lot success with this simple technique. It is no wonder, then, that they would try to use it on Mac users as well.

 

F-Secure shared its knowledge about a new dropper Trojan targeting that particular segment of users, disguised as a PDF file.
