Fraudsters are currently trying their luck with fake invoices from Apple.
Gemini @blue News
Fraudsters are sending fake emails in the name of Apple, in which an alleged renewal of the "Bumble Premium" subscription in the amount of 1,339 francs is billed.
The fake emails give the impression that Apple has already charged the annual fee for the "Bumble Premium" subscription and at the same time initiated a refund. The recipients are supposed to process this refund via a link contained in the message.

In fact, the link leads to a fraudulent website that looks like a real Apple ID login page in order to inspire confidence. Login details and credit card information are requested there.
This is what the fraudulent login page looks like.

If the scam is successful, the credit card is charged immediately. The criminals then try to obtain the security code sent by the financial institution by text message in order to bypass two-factor authentication.
The cybercriminals now have all the information they need to make further purchases and gain simplified access to the Apple account.
