Warning: Scammers are using FaceTime to empty bank accounts
Apple warns users about FaceTime-based scams where attackers impersonate trusted organizations like Apple Support or banks to steal sensitive information, such as banking credentials and Apple ID details. Scammers use social engineering tactics, including urgent alerts and fake technical issues, to pressure victims into sharing data or installing malicious software. Apple advises avoiding unsolicited calls, updating iOS, and using security tools to mitigate risks.
