This morning when I used my iPhone to call up the SoundHole site, I got the site, but overlaying it was a window with a very official-looking notice that my iPhone had been compromised by 14 viruses, and I needed to take immediate action to protect my files. The window contained a clickable that supposedly would do the job.
I hope if anyone else had this experience, you did not click on that button, because I strongly suspect this is a piece of malware that in fact would implant viruses on your phone if you did.
I guess SoundHole is not a secure site, and is vulnerable to this kind of attack ... ? My Norton antivirus occasionally gives me a warning that the site is not secure, but this was the first time I've seen a real attack - if that is what it was.
Not sure what should be done about this ... ?
PS: I just checked my iPhone again, and the window has disappeared. There's nothing out of the ordinary going on when I call up the site on my desktop, which I just did to post this.
