EA Games website hacked; Phishing page hosted to steal Apple IDs

Hackers have compromised the web server owned by the gaming company, Electronic Arts (EA) to host a phishing site which targets Apple ID Account holders, asking for users’ Apple ID and password, along with their full name and date of birth and credit card details as well. Hackers compromised the EA Games server by exploiting one of the vulnerabilities in an outdated WebCalendar application and used it as a weapon to create the fake “My Apple ID” page. Once the users submit the details, they are redirected to the legitimate Apple ID website.
