Back in the last days of .Mac, before it was rebranded MobileMe, we wrote about phishing attempts to snare .Mac users<\/a>. These e-mails were well-crafted, and mentioned that there was a billing problem with the recipient’s .Mac account.<\/p>\n

Macworld is reporting<\/a> that new phishing e-mails are being sent purporting to be from Apple for MobileMe users. Again, these are well-crafted, and may lead some users to click through their links and give up their credit card numbers. <\/p>\n

As always, you should never click through to a link in this kind of e-mail message. If you think you may have to change your account information, sign into your MobileMe account directly, by typing the URL or using a bookmark.<\/p>\n

Also, remember that Intego Personal Antispam<\/a> can protect you from phishing e-mails by spotting when displayed URLs are different from the links behind them. But always check the URL in your browser when you click any link expecting to provide credit card information, just to be sure, and look for a padlock in your browser window showing that it is a secure page; hackers can’t spoof the padlock icon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
