Phishing scam targets MobileMe subscribers

“There’s a new phishing scam targeting Apple’s MobileMe customers,” Bryan Chaffin reports for The Mac Observer.

“The scam attempts to get users to send their MobileMe login information—which for some customers is the same as their iTunes account—by posing as a spoofed letter from Internet service providers,” Chaffin reports. “In this case, the bad guys are hoping that users will reply to an email with their MobileMe login information.”

Chaffin reports, “We’ve seen an example with SBC as the sender, and there’s another example online from December 14th that purports to be from Frontier Communications.”
