There is a
new (true) current event which unfortunately is the ultimate click bait. A
hacker got into Apple's iCloud and hacked the account of Jennifer Lawrence and
many other celebrities. Apparently, she had taken nude pictures of herself and they
are all out there now. You would think these celebs would have learned by now,
but no. Apple has patched a bug that would allow brute force attacks on
iCloud, and this may have been how the hack was done, or it could be simply a
guessed password.
The cyber criminals are already working on campaigns
to exploit this event and these are going to be very enticing phishing attacks
over the next few months.
This weekend, it was all over the news that
hackers leaked nude pictures of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities. The
news is true, and the pictures are out there. The problem is that the bad guys
are going to use this to trick people into clicking on links and open
attachments, which will infect your computer with malware. Do not get curious
and fall for these scams.
