Today, I clicked an apparently legitimate search result (about a Steve Jobs' quote), in the first page of results, from Google that was supposedly going to take me to denofgeek.com (that I believe to be reputable). Instead I ended up on page with an Apple logo that beeped at me and opened a pop-up saying "IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED, We have detected a trojan virus (e.tre456_worm_osx) on your Mac." against a background of alleged further infections and other scary nonsense. The web address starts with http://safety.apple.com but continues with .lrnozelo.qwpj1i3dzpn87ci478q7cmygedorbtd.stream and a load of parameters. This is, of course, a scam. Don't click the suggested OK button (that doesn't appear), nor the provided Continue button. Just close the page and allow yourself to feel a moment of superiority over some half-wit criminal out to trap the unwary. 2018-07-01T11:15:23+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1594#7691 Euan Williams info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ This one's worth a read too, for the techniques used.
