“Today is a sad day for the technology community. On October 5, Steve Jobs, Apple’s founder, died after several years of struggle against cancer. He left behind a legacy that has revolutionized the way we listen to music, talk on the phone and use the computers, has been a benchmark for many of us. Unfortunately, after his death has begun to identify various scams on the Internet and social networks with the aim of profiting from users, “writes security company Eset in its official blog.

In a note signed by Pablo Ramos, Awareness & Research Specialist, Eset reports that among the identified threats is a Web site where users are invited to contribute money for the funeral of Steve Jobs. To contribute, is first to leave a farewell message. Then see a message of support for Pancreatic Cancer Society of the United States and eventually the invitation to contribute through the purchase of an Apple device (see illustration). In fact, any purchases made ??by the user, is no more a gain for attackers, since as mentioned above it is a scam. Such actions usually occur before the death or the death of famous people in order to take advantage of unsuspecting users.
