Fake sites?

Hi everyone :-)

I want to know if there are fake sites to support Apple, Apple ID sites or other things?

If there are, how they look like? And Apple can bring down these sites?

Goodbye :-)

There are things; they can be formatted to look very like the real pages, but of course is not the correct URL. What happens usually it is that you get an email or a message saying you need to 'check' your ID, or your ID has been suspended, or something similar, and gives you a link that seems OK but leads you to a fake site.

Without exception, all the pop ups, emails and text messages in saying that your ID Apple needs to be "verified", or that you have a virus, or that your Mac needs to 'clean', are scams designed to get personal information or to sell you unnecessary software.

If Apple never suspends your ID - which they would do only for security reasons - they write to you: you will discover only when you are trying to access and then you will need to contact them. Only ever go on an Apple website by entering the URL: never follow links in these messages, answer or phone numbers ring.

In the case of emails you can report them to Apple by sending them as an attachment to e-mail to [email protected] ; the fake URL can be detected in the message. Actually get taken down are difficult - much are run from countries where the rule of law in this case is vague.

  • I fear there is a fake site looking exactly like Mozilla. He told me always up to date. Whenever something bad happened. I could not to Google.

    Over a period of several weeks, I get updates of Fire Fox download requests. The first time seemed strange, asked me to download 3 extra things, 1 toolbar, the other 2 I forgot. My computer developed so many problems, I had to spend 12 HOURS 6 Trojans and 1 worm the deletion from the register. Next time, I couldn't Google, spent hours to reinstall IE. The last time ruined G-Mail, IE spinning in circles, once again the relocation and restoration of the system. I've been clicking on which should show the origin of the update and a very authentic site resembling Mozilla rises. What I don't like is she insists to change my search engine default, among many other things. I tried to contact support and ask questions through it, but could not do empty to submit. I'm afraid to download more updates to Fire Fox. I had to spend hours on reinstalling, cleaning, etc. I finally had a white to submit a question and typed, basically, what I have here. When I submitted it, it disappeared, and the next page says "Service unavailable". The pages look very detailed and authentic, but I fear that someone has been able to duplicate a web page of Mozilla. To get here this time, I went to programs in the control panel and clicked on the hyperlink for the support. The page looks very much the same as another but the text in the windows of several (PC windows, etc.,) are darker and smaller. I think that I may need uninstall FireFox but don't know if I'll be able to download from the authentic site to reinstall.

    I don't know that this is not a large company. Like a lot of malicious Web sites to make themselves look official, but if you scroll to the bottom of the site or to read the warning, it is more likely, said the Web site is not affiliated with Mozilla. What they want to do you is to download their fake update installer. The update installer is actually a bundled Installer, which means that they put ads in the installer as optional software that actually does not come with the thing, the installer is supposed to be the installation. They earn advertising revenue from this. Do not trust everything that appears randomly inviting you to update something, if you browse a Web site. They are not hackers usually; they just want the money. I advise to download something of these Web sites or the other.

  • Creating a fake site Web layout animation

    I've seen this AMV and wondered how they did the fake YouTube layout. If you go to about three minutes, you'll see what I mean:

    Advice and maybe a small guide? I was inspired to do something in this category. Thank you!

    You have two options.  The first is to use a professional screen capture software which allows you to zoom in and out of the screen. The second would be to re - create your site background in illustrator or Photoshop and animate the rest using standard animation in AE techniques.

  • He had to get rid of the fake site Mandiant U.S. Cyber-Security.

    Firefox has been infected by a Web site that will open when Firefox opens and can be closed in an ordinary way. I had to go to the Windows Task Manager to get out of the screen, but if I open Firefox, it appears again. It shows the suspicious address "gov.us-cybersecurity.com/go/" and claims to be affiliated with the FBI. It is imperative that amount paid through MoneyPak. This is obviously false, but it is a real nuisance. I tried to clean the cache - no help. Tried to uninstall Firefox, hoping to be able to reinstall a clean browser - but can't uninstall.

    Even though I prefer Firefox, I submit this thru for Internet Explorer, that I will continue to use it until I have to find a way to clean up Firefox.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  • I am redirected to a fake site of Mozilla, saying that I need to update to Firefox. Also weird ads are now on Web sites where they were not before.

    When I visit amazon.com a strange announcement is on the bottom that does not belong. When I click in the search box, it opens a new tab saying I need to update my firefox. Still in the fine print it says that it is not affiliated with Mozilla. Ads are also on sites that do not have ads built on their site.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the strange extra disappears. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.

  • I have fake sites associated with specific words on legal sites

    When I discovered a Web site in Firefox (version 17 well I did ask whether more 16) some words are underlined and have a clicks associated with them. I don't want this redirect, but cannot get rid of it.

    These clicks do not appear in Internet Explorer or Chrome, I think that it is a problem with Firefox. It happened in the last two days.

    It looks like Textsrv. I would check for malware. It could be a toolbar you have installed, or other extensions linked to another site.

    If they can't find it or cannot delete it, post in one of these forums using specialized malware removal:

  • Firefox pulls in the fake site on a name field on my PC, but the right pair on my laptop. Delete history - cookies, temporary files, etc. has not erased the problem.

    I changed the forwarding to one of my areas address a week or two ago. When I go on this site on my laptop (on Firefox), it pulls to the right address. On my PC, the old site is one that shot of Firefox in again, when I go on Internet Explorer on my PC the correct site is one that appears. It is apparently a problem with the version of Firefox on my PC that seems to me that Firefox is an absolute pain in the neck by flooding users with constant requests to update later. Very annoying!

    Reload Web pages, and ignore the cache.

    • Hold SHIFT and click reload.
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Cmd + Shift + R' (MAC)

    Clear the cache and cookies from sites that cause problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Tools > Options > advanced > network > storage (Cache) offline: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

  • Security: Firefox for mobile phishing and fake Web site

    Firefox for Android mobile load the page title on the URL space.

    If a fake site Web put the name of the page as the user of the website address can be confused.

    Suppose that the Bank Web site is www.mybank6567.ext

    The fake site may be fakebank.ext this Web site can have a SSL and the name of the page on mybank65.ext can be the url of the originating bank.

The inexperienced user can be confusing.

    Oh, I'm sorry.
    It is very important issue and I hope that security of Firefox will be fixxed as soon as possible.

    Bad image for Firefox in this issue. Very dangerous.
    So here I end my question.

    Sorry, but I'm not registered in bugzilla and I won't record because I don't want to make my email address public so I hope more people continue to insist on bugzilla for this security problem.
    I stop my discussion here, I alerted on the security issue on Firefox Mobile.

  • Give root certificates and the 'green list' which sites they are allowed to check?

    More a feature than anything request: I think it would be a good idea to have a whitelist optional for which sites a certificate root is allowed to check. A common situation would be a company cert root - if the browser can be configured to doesn't have to be a CA for the sites within this company users (employees in this case) could be sure that the company was not spying on their browsing to other sites, while allowing them to create and revoke certificates for their own at will. (But I remember at least a story recently where that would have allowed the general public when a CA started allowing the fake sites.)

  • Sensitive site + white space to the right of the iOS device

    I recently downloaded the new version of Muse and started on a sensitive site for a client. Everything seems to be working and rather smooth through all the breakpoints for the most part, but when I visit the site on my iPhone 6 there is a white space of 30px along the right edge (screen included). When you rotate into landscape mode the problem disappears, but returns in portrait mode. In the browser on my desktop, everything behaves as expected because you expand and contract to the browser window. I also had a fried pull it upwards on their Android device and the page loaded as expected. Looks too good on an iPad in two directions.

    I have checked and checked the master page and the home page for additional items outside the edge of the page, including all the layers and breakpoints. It drives me crazy. Help, please. I've recreated a fake site to share this duplicates the question. www.anotherfinedesign.com/Responsive/

    grantjkidney content may not exceed the width of the browser to any item on the agenda of a breakpoint. If it does, and a device arrives at this width, the mobile browser will be first size (rightly) the width of the page on the device, and then zoom out to view the entire width of the content. When there is content outside the width of the browser that translates into the mobile browser zoom out leaving, for the most part, a blank space to the right.

    More generally, this is caused by a fixed width object sticking out beyond the width of the browser when the browser width approaches the width of the next breakpoint smaller. For example the empty part right of a large text block that contains a short sentence.

    No such message to Apple.

    Sounds like a phishing attempt. Their "link" update your cloud settings probably is a fake site where they ask your Apple ID and password.
