iPhone 5 Scam: Fake Apple Announcement Email Leads to PC Virus

While the tech world holds its breath collectively to the announcement of iPhone Tuesday in Cupertino, some unscrupulous hackers are taking advantage of the fact that we do not know exactly what the new phone looks even - with a bogus email supposedly Apple, announcing the "5S iPhone."

It is true that the iPhone 5S model is not very realistic. Those of us who pay attention to reports and rumors know that is not very likely to see through or monochrome. His name is a mashup of two possible phones Apple - iPhone iPhone 5 and 4S. Grammatically-challenged The text below the image should be a tip, too: "The introduction of the iPhone that lets you do more than ever. And they do it incredibly quickly." But for those who are not paying attention, and only vaguely aware that a new iPhone is launching this week as an email - with an "order now" - could make easy bait for malware. And that's what this email is, according to security firm Sophos - a lure for customers to install a nasty little Trojan inadvertently called Mal / Zapchas-A.

Ironically, given Apple's announcement based on the malware only affects Windows computers. The email was first noted by the Dutch journalist Abram Wagenaar. That supports a lot of resemblance to a similar email that made the rounds just before the opening of Steve Jobs at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference.

E-mail suggested that we would see a "5S iPhone" with a built-in, slide-out keyboard. The appearance of the email was less than Apple-like than the last effort, although much of the text was similar. Memo to the makers of malware: You have learned Photoshop, now try to brush up on your editing.
