Hackers jump on Apple Watch to phish for data

Hackers have jumped on the unveiling of the Apple Watch as a chance to phish for data through social networks, according to the security vendor Malwarebytes.

Victims are said to be lured into the scam through the promise of a free Apple Watch, but instead are redirected onto a labyrinthine series of links, in what appears to be a phishing exercise to collect people’s details.
