Global scams follow the new iPhone launch event
As soon as Apple announced pre-orders for new iPhone models, Kaspersky noted a surge in scams that took advantage of the heat from this event.
Accordingly, cybercriminals have set up a series of fake websites, fake online lotteries and tricks to recruit "production testing users" to collect personal information and financial data of users. These attacks pose serious risks, ranging from personal data loss to financial losses.
One of the common tricks is fake Apple Store websites, deceiving users with an offer to pre-book an iPhone 17 before its out of stock. When customers enter payment information, scammers will steal bank card data instead of making real transactions.
The scammers also launched fake lottery programs with the promise of giving the winner a free iPhone. They require participants to complete the survey, provide personal information such as email, phone number... and pay a delivery fee or service fee.
