Phishing Attacks Now Targeting Mac Browsers

Here is how to fix security alert messages:

Follow the steps below:

• Force quit Safari by pressing Command-Option-Esc. Or click the Apple menu and select Force Quit.
• Force Quit window will appear.
• Select Safari.
• Then click Force Quit.
• Now you need to restart Safari. But if you start Safari normally, the popup may appear. Now while pressing the Shift key, launch Safari. This is an important step. This will restart the browser without reloading previously open sessions.

If you are still experiencing this problem:

• Force quit Safari.
• Relaunch Safari while holding down the Shift key.
• Turn Wi-Fi off. Simply click the wireless icon in the upper left corner then choose Turn Wi-Fi Off.
• Visit a web site e.g. apple.com.
• Now connect to the Internet by turning Wi-Fi on.

Note: You may also want to clear your browser history. Choose History > Clear History. You may also want to clear your cache.
