Are you interested to buy iPhone 4s ? Beware CyberCriminals can trick you into giving out your online financial credentials. TrendMicro Researchers have found a new phishing scam that targets users who are out to purchase an iPhone 4S through eBay.
Hackers create a phishing page by copying eBay posts for iPhone 4S units. The page may look like legitimate one . All the link in the fake page are linked to legitimate site except the "Buy it Now", it leads to fake login page.
When user has filled it all up, users are directed to a page that says they must contact the seller via email in order to proceed with the transaction.
"We’re pretty sure that this is not how transactions go when buying something over eBay. This is most likely a scam that aims to steal money and personal information from its victims. The iPhone 4S is one of the top smartphones in this year’s holiday sales, and clearly the cybercriminals taking advantage of its demand.
This iPhone 4S scam is just one of the many attacks that people might encounter this season. Cybercriminals often leverage holiday activities—such as sending holiday greetings, shopping online, and looking for deals and promos—to launch attacks targeting unsuspecting users." Report from TrendMicro
