Nobody’s safe
If Steve Jobs can fall victim to a phishing scam, then anyone can:
A hacker claims to have infiltrated Steve Jobs’ Amazon.com account, and he’s hoping to sell the CEO’s private information to journalists.
The hacker, who calls himself “orin0co,†claims he fooled Jobs with a phishing scam to gain access to his Amazon account. Jobs’ account history suggests he’s a shopaholic who has purchased 20,000 items from Amazon in the last 10 years, the hacker claims.
“I got myself a hold of this information,†the hacker wrote in an e-mail sent from a secure Hushmail account to Cult of Mac’s Leander Kahney. “No one else has it. I didn’t misuse it, otherwise Mr. Jobs would long ago change his login detail, wouldn’t he?â€
