F-Secure Security Labs brings you the latest online security news from around the world. Ensure that you are up-to-date with the latest online threats to guarantee your online wellbeing.

 

From April to December 2011, there have been several dozen new Mac threats.

 

Well, that's nothing when compared to Windows malware — but it's definitely something when compared to the number of Mac threats seen prior to 2011.

 

We expect more of the same for 2012.

Les pirates informatiques s'en donnent à coeur joie pendant les fêtes. Depuis le jour de Noël, une campagne de phishing cible les utilisateurs d'ordinateurs fabriqués par Apple. Son but : dérober des données bancaires....

 

Si une personne clique sur ce lien, elle sera dirigée vers un site Internet très convaincant : d'abord, une page de connexion, demandant de saisir ses identifiants (Apple ID et mot de passe).

 

Puis, le visiteur est transféré sur une page lui demandant de mettre son "profil" à jour, notamment en indiquant ses informations bancaires (numéro de carte, etc.). Encore une fois, la page en question est très crédible.

iPhone and iOS Forensics is an extremely informative book that may interest even people who aren't interested in mobile forensics.

 

With the aforementioned numbers of sold Apple mobile devices in the world, I believe that many users should at least have a casual knowledge of what's going on behind the buttons and the screen, and what information can be extracted from the devices even after it has been deleted.
