A recent vulnerability on the EA Games website that was discovered by the internet security firm Netcraft, has left many users in shock.

It was recently revealed that there was a link on the ea.com domain to a fake Apple website (that looked very real and convincing) that was being used to phish for unsuspecting users Apple IDs.

After users entered their Apple IDs, they were then prompted to update personal information; including their full name, address and credit card on file. After submitting the form, the page even redirected back to the real Apple site, further confusing and hiding the phishing scheme from users.

It is unclear how long the phishing site was active on the EA Games site.
