Threat actors have unleashed a new, broad smishing campaign in the the United States in an effort to steal Apple IDs.
Security firm Symantec has posted a bulletin about a smishing (SMS phishing) campaign currently targeting Apple users in the United States. The end of goal for these threat actors is to take over a user’s Apple ID, which provides them access to an individual’s personal information, financial information, and potentially control of their devices.
The attack starts when a user receives an SMS message claiming to be from Apple, which asks the user to visit a link in order to complete an important iCloud request.
