iPhone Smishing Scam Warning

Apple has warned iPhone users to be on their guard against a new ‘smishing’ (SMS phishing) scam where the perpetrators are posing as Apple. The scam involves the scammers contacting iPhone users with the excuse of needing to sort out a login issue. 

The targeted users are sent a URL which actually leads to a fake iCloud phishing page with the intention of stealing the user’s login details, accessing their account, and stealing other personal details and financial information.
