An old Apple tech support pop-up scam has resurfaced, leaving a MacBook Pro owner $2,000 out of pocket after being warned hackers had taken over the laptop.
The Macbook pop-up scam appears to be a new version of an older trend first spotted by anti-malware software company Malwarebytes. Unsuspecting Apple users are tricked into thinking their Mac is riddled with spyware and hackers are taking control. The old ways aren't dead yet.
