Hackers Threaten To Remotely Wipe iPhones, Demand Ransom From Apple


This is horrible news for iPhone owners! A group of hackers claims to have access to credentials of 300 million iCloud accounts and is threatening to remotely wipe them clean if Apple doesn’t pay up.

Known as the Turkish Crime Family, the hackers have threatened to make use of the data to access customers’ accounts and wipe their Apple devices in case the company fails to pay the ransom until April 7, reports Motherboard.

The hackers have demanded $75,000 in Bitcoin or Ethereum cryptocurrency or $100,000 worth of iTunes gift cards in exchange for deleting the alleged cache of data. Once their demands are met, they have assured to delete the cache.

“I just want my money and thought this would be an interesting report that a lot of Apple customers would be interested in reading and hearing,” one of the hackers told Motherboard.

The group has posted screenshots of their communications with Apple that has been going on for at least a week to remove any doubts casting about the legitimacy of the demand. The ‘Crime Family’ also disclosed the email address they used to reach out to the company.

Hart is keen on regular first-team football, which would have been unlikely at City after the Eastlands outfit splashed £35 million on Brazilian keeper Ederson Moraes, who arrived from Benfica. Hart has played over 300 games in all competitions for City since signing from Shrewsbury Town in 2006. advertisement
