Discover the sneaky new phishing scam targeting iPhone users, revealed by BleepingComputer! This deceptive tactic plays on social engineering to exploit the automatic phishing protection in iMessage, tricking users into disabling it, which opens the door to harmful links. The double aim? Reactivate disabled links and identify active phone numbers. Scammers disguise themselves as trusted entities, using familiar phrases like "send STOP to cancel." Alarmingly, this method affects less tech-savvy individuals, especially the elderly. To protect yourself, never respond to suspect messages and keep the filter for unknown senders enabled. This feature is easy to activate through your message settings, but be cautious as it might filter out important messages as well. Have you ever encountered such phishing attempts? What was your experience like?
