There are a bunch of new scams striking this hokiday season. Most are phishing scams, but done in new, ingenious ways.
Be a ware of what you are doing online and be wary about what links you click on.
The greatest danger to Mac users is probably the Apple billing email scam where the Apple website is being spoofed in an attempt to get your login credentials and credit card information.
Another is the MobileMe phishing scam where the me.com website is being spoofed to get your login credentials.
A third is the FaceBook tool bar scam where a fake FaceBook toolbar is added to your browser toolbar (FireFox, Chrome, maybe others) so as to get your FaceBook login credentials, then use your account to send out thousands of friend requests and more.
You can read about these scams at your favorite Apple news web sites. I won’t repeat the articles here as they are long.
As always, think before you click on any link in any email. You can usually see the true URL of a link by hoveing your curson over the link for a few seconds until a yellow tool tip appears with the true link visible. If in doubt, manually go to the true domain of the site you want to visit: apple.com; facebook.com; me.com; etc…)
Be carefu, floks, and good luck.
