Customer support scams have been rampant over the past years and are wildly successful when done right.Scammers will impersonate personnel from legitimate companies with hopes of extorting money from unsuspecting users.The security blog, KrebsonSecurity recentlyreported the advent of a new phone-based voice phishing scam with a focus on Apple users.In August of 2018,we saw an iOS phishing scam targeting iPhone users,so this is obviously not the first Apple support scam reported.
JodyWestby,the CEO of Global Cyber Risk LLC,attested to receiving automated calls on her iPhone.Despite being spoofed,the call shows the Apple logo,physical and web address and the legitimate phone number.The automated call warned of a data breach affecting Apple where several Apple IDs had been accessed.It culminated with a message asking her to call 866-277-7794.
