While we’re talking about Apple here, just a quick word of warning. On a recent post we were told about a new way of phishing. It’s no longer just in emails. About two weeks ago, I got a popup notice on my emailer. It was an EXACT replica of what the emailer might do. It said, “The POP server “pop-server.(name of emailer).com” rejected the password for user (my name).
Please re-enter your password, or cancel.

Since I had read about this new method of phishing, I ignored it. But it was tempting because I’ve had trouble with the server where my email is concerned. A week later, I got the message again. I called my server, and was told, “We did not send it. We would never notify you that way.”
The intruders are getting REALLY SNEAKY. Just a warning for anyone else who might get a similar popup message from their servers.
