Digital Smarts - Watch Out for Man-in-the-Middle Attack on iCloud
You are here
A new kind of attack is being made on Apple’s iCloud, called a “man-in-the-middle attack”. This kind of attack is when a hacker puts a fake website between the user and the real website they were aiming for. The messages still go back and forth between the user and the site, but the man in the middle can siphon off information such as user IDs and passwords. If you use iCloud, Apple has posted on its website specific examples of what users should look for on all major browsers – Safari, Chrome and Firefox – to ensure that their connection is safe.
