Apple Support Scams Update

I’ve just added some links to the Support Scam Resources page at AVIEN that may be relevant to readers of this blog and the Mac Virus blog:

• article by me for ITsecurity on Support Scams: Splashes in the Phish Pool. Apple users targeted by a pop-up ‘alert’ may be directed to a site impersonating Apple’s own tech support site
• references a Malwarebytes article Tech Support Scammers Impersonate Apple Technicians by Jérôme Segura
• the Malwarebytes blog is also referenced by Ars Technica in an article by Dan Goodin: Support scams that plagued Windows users for years now target Mac customers
