Panic Attack – Beware!! Apple Phishing Emails with Subject as Your Receipt & Login Alert

Security researchers from Malwarebytes spotted an Apple phishing campaign with new tricks to steal payment card details from victims. The attack ranges between February 2–6 and now the phishing sites are deactivated.

Most of the Emails sent was with the subject [ New Statement ] Your receipt from Apple [ 02 February 2018 ] and the attackers used the randomly-grabbed address.

Researchers said “the emails claim to be receipts for a payment of $9.99 made out to, er, Mr. Edward Snowden. Apparently, privacy campaigns and 2 terabyte storage plans go together nicely”.

Seems like the scammers targets some potential victims, for most of the people it displays the following message “Thanks for the order of this thing that costs you money” would be enough to have panic set in.
