Ed, I gather high rollers communicate with other high rollers like we do on this forum….you are right, we really need to watch for the phishing but what I’m really wanting to learn, do emails inside Apple’s umbrella have the same exposure of having an embedded hack inside an email or video? If so, why aren’t we hearing about it daily? Did this happen to Jeff because he was using WhatsApp?
