    An EA Games server has been compromised by hackers and is now hosting a phishing site which targets Apple ID account holders.

    The compromised server is used by two websites in the ea.com domain, and is ordinarily used to host a calendar based on WebCalendar 1.2.0. This version was released in September 2008 and contains several security vulnerabilities which have been addressed in subsequent releases. For example, CVE-2012-5385 details a vulnerability which allows an unauthenticated attacker to modify settings and possibly execute arbitrary code. It is likely that one of these vulnerabilities was used to compromise the server, as the phishing content is located in the same directory as the WebCalendar application.


    Note the EA.com domain for an Apple ID log on page above.

    I don't do heavy gaming at all on the iPhone, but just be aware.
