Do You Use iTunes?

Saw this and thought I'd pass it along.

Got iTunes? Be careful, you might get iScammed too.

A new cyberscam has been targeting the tens of millions of users of Apple's iTunes music service, as crooks phish for confidential bank information.

According to security analysis firm PandaLabs, a cleverly crafted e-mail is landing in e-mail in-boxes, informing people that they have made an expensive purchase on iTunes. The concerned user quickly tries to resolve the problem by clicking on a link in the e-mail -- which is always a mistake, though an easy one to make.

After clicking the link the user is asked to download a fake PDF reader, which redirects the user to infected Web pages (mostly Russian) containing Trojans among other malware that steal the user's personal details.

I don't use any of that online download stuff. It's all MP3, and to an audiophile, that's second rate music. I either buy DVD Audio, SACD's or a regular CD, and play it on the blu-ray. If I want to put it on a mobile device, I upload it into WMP using the "loseless" format, and then download it onto the device.

I download via Windows Media Player, but will keep an eye open for tricks you have mentioned, Zoom-boing. Thank you for the good service of the heads up.
