Scammers weaponize FaceTime to drain bank accounts
Apple is warning users that scammers exploit FaceTime to conduct social engineering attacks, impersonating representatives of trusted organizations to extract login credentials, security codes, and financial information. Attackers use caller ID spoofing to mask their identity, making it difficult for victims to verify legitimacy.
Why it matters: iPhone and iPad users face direct risk of account compromise and financial fraud through FaceTime-based social engineering; practitioners should alert end users to verify caller identity through independent channels before sharing any credentials or codes.
