News : Security firm warns of new iMessage spam campaign

[Anonymous]

Headline ; Security firm warns of new iMessage spam campaign.

"iPhones users—particularly those in larger US cities—may want to start keeping an eye out for odd iMessages. According to security firm Cloudmark, there has been a dramatic uptick in recent months of spam directed at Apple’s iOS messaging system."

My thoughts :

Even tho this is reported to be in US Cities it's best to keep watch.

So...iMessage isn't secure then?

Or is it the case that when you give your phone number or iCloud email address to companies they can then sell it to these companies who then send spam? I guess if thats the case then always use a different email address for websites than the one you use for iCloud and use a fake or home phone number when you need to register on a website.
