Own an apple product? then, watchout for this phishing scam - The email notifies victims that their Apple account has been “limited” due to unusual activity and urges them to update their payment details via a link


It attempts to trick victims into updating their profiles under the guise it’s a part of proactive security hardening prepping for the introduction of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

From there, users were prompted enter their Apple IDs and passwords. When users put in their information, the website offers a standard message telling them their account has been locked, and offering a button to unlock it.

The “Unlock Account Now” button is linked to a malicious site that collects user data. This site asks for a slew of personal information like name, date of birth, address, and credit card details.
