2021-12-06 16:11:00 Thieves used a clever trick to disable Find My on a stolen iPhone. They faked Microsoft's number

A victim from Delhi said that after losing his iPhone 12, he remotely locked the device, putting the smartphone in Lost Mode, and contacted the police.

In this state, the iPhone can only be unlocked by the owner of the device. Flashing or restoring won't help - iCloud input will be required anyway.

As it turned out, the attackers came up with a clever way to get around this. Lost mode displays the owner's number on the iPhone screen so that you can call him and arrange the return of the device.

Scammers create a phishing link that mimics the design of iCloud and send it to the owner's number. In this case, they even faked the number, hiding behind the Microsoft service.

The thieves then receive an email address and password. And even two-factor authentication will not help in this case, it will also be done by cybercriminals. Open / Comment
