Tech support scams have been around for years, and in almost all cases, they have been targeting Windows users, fooling them into paying for support software or services victims don't necessarily need.
As Macs has become more and more popular, scammers have been slowly turning their attention towards a whole new area of revenue, and as
Malwarebytes has recently reported, they haven't been shy at all, with "fraudulent warnings for Mac getting extremely common."
One of the most recently observed campaigns targets the Apple Remote Access service located at
ara.apple.com, which allows Mac users to request tech support from Apple-certified staff by entering a session key generated locally on their computer and granting the company's employees remote access to their computer.
