OS Update Virus Targeting iPad Users
Last week we reported that hackers were going after Google Chrome users by disguising trojans as browser extensions. Now they're going after owners of that fancy new iPad, basically using the same email scheme as before but with a slight alteration. This time users are directed to download a software update by clicking on a link embedded in an email.
Naturally this attack is geared towards consumers new to the iPhone/iPod Touch community. Typically Apple doesn't link directly to an update via email, but rather pipes the upgrade alert through iTunes. Unfortunately, new consumers aren't quite hip to the Jobs Way, and thus get suckered into the malware-by-email scheme.
