A new global phishing scam targeting the IDs, passwords and credit card information of potentially 800 million Apple ID accounts emerged, according to Clifton, N.J.-based cybersecurity firm Comodo Antispam Labs.

The fake Apple phishing email looked authentic; fraudsters formatted it to look like an official Apple email and included the Apple logo and physical headquarters address, as well as an email address that appears to be from Apple officials.

The email tells recipients there are limitations on their Apple accounts and in order to fix it, they must provide information via a provided link. When recipients click on the link, it takes them to additional pages with a similar Apple look and feel that ask them to verify credit card information and passwords. This is where the cyber thief steals the information.
