Cybercriminals Offer Apple Themed Discounted Products For Sale On Major Cybercrime Friendly Forum Community – An Analysis

I’ve recently came across to a currently active underground marketplace forum proposition that’s basically offering and selling Apple themed products which appear to have been obtained and purchased using fraudulent means. The seller also appears to be using several techniques to actually safely ship the products basically everywhere and is using another service to guarantee the payment and delivery of the products.
