Novel New Scam: Cybercrooks Target Kindle
With nearly a million titles available for its on-the-go readers, the Amazon Kindle and its associated e-book apps have revolutionized the reading world. Lately, however, they’ve also opened up an enticing new vector for online attacks.
The e-books available for purchase in Amazon’s Kindle Store have – some would say – an advantage over physical books: Authors can include hyperlinks to websites. But according to the security website ZDNet, scammers are taking advantage of the technological text, directing readers’ clicks to deceitful and malicious Web pages.
