A hacking group said it had access to more than 300 million user accounts andCloud accounts. Hackers claim they are ready and, above all, determined to completely erase all user data from hundreds of millions ofCloud accounts if they do not receive from the company by April 7th Apple required payment.
The group, which is called the Turkish Crime Family, demanded an amount of 75 thousand dollars, either in Bitcoin or Ethereum currency, otherwise it will delete the given data. Motherboard broke the news after speaking with several people who claimed to be part of the group on Tuesday morning. An alternative to the above amount was iTunes gift cards worth $100.
Members of the Turkish Crime Family provided Motherboard with a video, screenshotyz emails and access to an email account allegedly used for correspondence with the company's security team Apple. The Cupertino company's representatives refused to comply with the group's demands, threatening to hand over the matter to the authorities. A video uploaded by the hackers to YouTube shows the group scrolling through a series of stolen iCloud Shortly after Motherboard reported the threat, an update appeared on Twitter, purportedly from members of the Turkish Crime Family. In the tweet, the alleged members of the group repeated their threats.

Cyberattacks on users' personal data are a relatively serious topic, and specificallyCloud has already experienced a wide range of threats of various kinds. The most famous case is the scandal with celebrity accounts from 2014, when a number of their intimate photos were leaked online. In this case, however, the problem stemmed more from weak individual account protection than from a mistake on the company's part. Apple.
The Turkish Crime Family has not given the public any insight into how they got hold of the accounts, which doesn't make the whole thing doubly credible. The evidence it provided to Motherboard says nothing about its members' actual ability to carry out their threats.

haha good joke
I have a backup on iCloudu, on the computer and photos too on Google Drive. Unfortunately, one cannot be sure of anything these days?
Maybe an external hdd in the attic
It accidentally fell off my desk once, the reading head was damaged and the data was lost. But fine, was it my fault?
Jojo is that right?
I wouldn't want that's why android is better.
android mobile, apple shit, it's not a real brand
:D :D :D Who taught you that? :D :D
Moron, no
What did I just read? ?
You guys are what I needed
You guys are what I needed
You guys are what I needed
You guys are what I needed
So would I get the fuck out of such people??
Your android probably crashed because you wrote it 3 times ;)
Can they get all the data from the android phone only if the attacker is on the same WI-FI??
I guess he cut
The android has already gotten into your brain when you send one message 3 times. I'd rather buy a first-class brand and make sure I don't have a copy than buy a second-rate mobile phone and know that it's all a copy?
By chance, I don't have such a bad cell phone
let him ???…
Why do you go to the dedicated pages? Apple? Nothing interesting with you, huh? ;) apple je apple dude.. at least we're not bored :) but you don't have to set Clear on your phone so you don't get stuck on porn sites ⚰️
simply world champion, what would you like to save up for iphone, but he still can't do it (which I'm not surprised by)... but I won't make myself a demented person...
But a lot of users didn't do anything about it, when there are no photos and so you don't have anything I need:DD and have them backed up on a PC or something like that:DD so Apple no shit please..:D your "amazing" Android is the easiest to infect and hack:D
Why should this be a joke according to some? If you get email addresses and add the most commonly used passwords to them, you can easily get to the users Applu to such a number. The same thing happened with the "stolen photos from iCloudu", but it was obviously targeted at certain people. The most common cause of a security threat on the Internet is the user himself.
so a joke mainly from the point of view that the argument for such a service is not that the user has a weak password, etc. it won't prevent me from trying an email and hitting the password on 1-3 attempts, but I think everything bigger can be decently blocked and solved. Deletion of the account, for example, with some kind of confirmation on the phone/iPad/PC, mass login and testing of passwords, this is perhaps the most basic thing that can be solved even with primitive scripts.
I agree. That's why I understand that all the bigger players on the Internet are pushing for multi-factor identity verification... if I enter the wrong password on the 3rd attempt, I have to enter a code from an SMS, etc. I'm only in favor of this approach. I solve it myself at work from the point of view of safety and user comfort.
When someone gives you the password Password1, so you are responsible for the data loss, I don't deny that, but nowadays most users haveCloud two-factor authentication and it will be more difficult for a hacker to get through even with a weak password.

And what do they get out of it? Will he get rid of the bimbos?
So you are among the first???
I don't know what they would take me for?
he tries once :D and gets miserable :D
apple is the most
I wish it would
Couldn't they have said that sooner? I recently visited iCloud he was tidying up and all he had to do was wait.
Johan Vasickova??? #achtenApple ?
Me tooCloud I don't use it??
Filip Čančara I would be quite pissed ??????
?
KEEP CALM - I DON'T USE IT.
??then pick it up here??
I don't have photos or anything like that, so why not?
Which company hired them? It doesn't do antivirus???
??? he probably does antivirus for iPhones.
