\"Phishing<\/p>\n

Apple users need to be aware of an ongoing\u00a0phishing campaign that appears to be ramping up efforts the past couple days. Scammers have\u00a0found\u00a0a clever way to generate phishing websites\u2014and they’re after your Apple ID and password.<\/p>\n

What’s happening is an active\u00a0phishing campaign\u00a0by way of fake Apple websites attempting to slurp up as many Apple IDs and passwords as possible. We’ve seen these types of phishing scams before, but the\u00a0person or group behind this campaign\u00a0appears to be very determined, creating tens and possibly hundreds of phishing websites all designed to steal your Apple ID and password.<\/p>\n

Streams of these phishing pages have been uncovered the past two days, and subsequently posted to Twitter by vigilant users in the security community:<\/p>\n
