iOS code expert shows devastating potential of simple iPhone phishing attack

![iphone.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc8MJbVJFsCS5nTPRy1QthxwyRXDvgj6DyS8JUT4v1qN4/iphone.png)

APPLE users are being warned about a potential iPhone phishing attack which could be used to steal their credit card and personal details in just seconds.

The phishing scam looks like the familiar pop-up which routinely prompts iPhone users to enter their Apple ID password when doing things like downloading apps or upgrading the operating system — and it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference.

It’s not believed such a phishing scam is currently in the wild but Apple iOS code researcher Felix Krause has demonstrated just how simple it is to create a fake Apple ID login form and steal peoples’ personal details.

In a blog post this week he showed how he could “easily get the user’s Apple ID password, just by asking”. The result is quite eyebrow-raising, to say the least.
