Apple will soon start a massive process of migrating MobileMe accounts to iCloud, but it seems that certain hackers try to take advantage by the naivety of Apple customers to steal their confidential card data. In the last few days, several owners of MobileMe accounts received phishing emails in which they were told that they had to register a new account for iCloud and the process itself involved re-entering all the data to make online payments.

After that date, MobileMe will no longer be available.Click here to update iCloud

The emails seem to be sent by Apple, but in reality they come from a group of hackers who have only one goal, the theft of users' payment data. If you received such emails and ignored them, you might end up without significant amounts of money from your account.
