Kind’ve clever eh: a real-sounding URL, “Support for Apple”, and a toll-free number, how nice for someone else to foot the bill.

The Attack

Pop-up window appears > you call the number > whomever answers is skilled with words > you’re tricked (social engineered) into doing something stupid, like providing a password or downloading a malicious file.

The Defence

Never call. This will never happen.
