The news is out that a SMS spam campaign is in action and is
attacking the Apple users living in New York City. The researchers at Cloudmark,
a San Francisco based Security Company, recently identified this campaign.
According to the reports, the researchers have found 47 percent of all spam
that circulated in NYC in past two months, were sent through a specific
malicious campaign.
This reported SMS spam campaign uses the iMessage Instant
Messenger service from Apple to spread. In this message the threat actors are
promoting websites to sell products from the world famous international brands
like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Michael Kors, Oakley and Ray Ban Sunglasses
etc., at cheaper prices (less than half the original price). However as the
reality is these messages are fake and lead to scams that are built to steal
the money from you. Since iMessage is supported on iOS 5 and later versions and
this campaign uses the service, this means that all the latest iPhones are
affected by the reported campaign. The service allows the iPhone users to send
messages over Wi-Fi connections.
Installing the latest Norton Mobile Security app on your
iPhone can help you stay secure from this scam. The iOS security app from
Norton, will stop any malicious app or file from entering into your iPhone or
iPad. Plus the proactive protection will give you an alert whenever a malicious
or phishing URL is visited.
The Norton Mobile Security is a comprehensive antivirus app
for your iPhone or iPad and also protects the devices from theft. All in all,
it is a must have app for your iPhone and iPad.
However, during the course of use of Norton Mobile Security
app, various issues may also arise in your iOS device. Simply contacting
reliable support companies like SupportMart and then availing their Norton support can help you to get
technical solutions to your problems. It is a reliable support source and
provides resolutions to various technical issues of different security
solution’s brands. Simply dial their Avastcustomer service phone number, Norton tech support number, or simply
