New 'AnonyMous' phishing campaign targets iPhone users with fake AI Apple support calls
Crooks are automating fake support calls to get users to remotely unlock stolen phones.
Security researchers have uncovered AnonyMousKIT, a novel phishing kit that has been targeting iPhone users since early 2024. The kit exploits Apple's Find My feature and Activation Lock to trick victims into providing their credentials, enabling attackers to unlock and sell stolen iPhones on the black market. The phishing kit operates like a small software business with over 500 domains and 150 reseller brands.
It employs an AI-powered voice vector to conduct dynamic voice phishing in three languages, costing just $0.10 per call. The majority of victims have been in South Africa, while other targeted regions include Indonesia, India, Kenya, Brazil, and Italy.
