I've even heard of some ecommerce and travel websites hiking their prices up if they detect an Apple useragent. Its hilarious.
Talk about low hanging fruit.
Macs don't need viruses to land their users into deep trouble.
Got one of these texts last week actually
[QUOTE=Aztec;50124601]Got one of these texts last week actually[/QUOTE] To be honest, spoof/phishing is old as dirt. There is more common sense counter measures to these than software blocking. Check URLs, question all SMS messages asking you to login. Anyone asking you to login into your account following a URL that is shortened, is likely to be a phishing attack. Only trust that providers URL's. Unfortunately money does not buy common sense. The people who often found themselves being tricked in for phishing are at target regardless of platform. No one can verify sources, so they end up in these situations. The user should always verify. If you cannot do it off your own capacity, ask someone who can.
