Apple users are being targeted by scammers with an email claiming that they need to re-enter their account info.

Security researcher Bryan Campbell is the person who raised the alarm. The scam email claims that there is a virus in apples iTunes database.

Dear Apple Customer,

Of course the email is bogus. If the misspelling and grammar are not enough of a giveaway, Apple would not be sending this type of message.

Clicking on the link takes you to a page that asks for all your personal info and no doubt would direct you to a page to enter your credit card data.

If you get such a scam email, Apple requests that you forward it to reportphishing@apple.com.
