After Apple, phishing kit ’16Shop’ targets Amazon: McAfee

San Francisco: Ahead of Amazon Prime Day (July 15-16), McAfee Labs researchers have warned that bad actors could use a phishing kit dubbed “16Shop” to target customers of the retail giant.

The same kit was earlier found to be used to target Apple users.

“The author of the kit goes by the alias DevilScreaM. We gathered lots of information on this actor and found that this individual was involved in the Indonesian hacking group ‘Indonesian Cyber Army.’ Several websites were defaced by this group and tagged by DevilScreaM in 2012,” security researchers Oliver Devane and Rafael Pena wrote in a blog post on Friday.
