Botnets Targeting iPhone Buyers

A new botnet is making its way across the worldwide internet that so far has about 7,500 zombie computers on its network. Infected computers are directed to a malicious website that is designed to look like the iPhone website but is a fake and the botnet is able to deliver real looking popups and advertisents to users who attempt to go to iPhones authentic site. If users are on a secure webpage a yellow address background should be seen in the address bar.

Solution to Botnets:

  1. Keep YOUR Computer Secure
  2. Scan for Viruses regularly
  3. Keep a Firewall running
  4. Scan for Adware and Spyware
