It’s a sign that iTunes has come of age and hit the big leagues – it’s being used for a phishing scam. Security company Proofpoint has discovered a new phishing message that asks users to go to a site and re-enter their personal data. That site, of course, is not real, but used for ID theft.
Andrew Lochart, VP of product marketing at Proofpoint, told Information Week:
"The bad guys have moved on from trying to take advantage of eBay or Citibank. I guess this means that Apple is now a top-tier Internet retailer. The bad guys are trying to use Apple’s brand to commit identity theft."
