Izolo UMiguel ukutshelile ukuthi iqembu labaduni, ngaphansi kwegama elithi "Turkish Crime Family", lathi linemininingwane yokufinyelela kumakhulu ezigidi zama-akhawunti e-iCloud futhi lalimaza i-Apple, licela ama- $ 75.000 ukushintshanisa ngokushiya leyo datha, noma yini ngaphandle kwalokho babezoyithola leyo ama-akhawunti futhi usule idatha ebikuqukethe. Izindaba, ebezibonakala zithathwe ku "El Mundo Namuhla" zombili izindlela zokukhokha eziceliwe (ama-Bitcoins noma amakhadi we-iTunes) kanye nenani elidingekayo uqobo, Inqatshiwe yi-Apple, eqinisekisa ukuthi akubanga khona ukuphulwa kwezokuphepha okuye kwaphazamisa ama-akhawunti wabasebenzisi bayo.
Inani lama-akhawunti okusolakala ukuthi athintekile selikhuphukile selokhu kwavela lezi zindaba futhi selivele lihamba cishe ngama-akhawunti we-iCloud ayizigidi ezingama-600. I-Apple iqinisekisa ukuthi uma laba baduni bewathole lawo ma-akhawunti kuzobe kungenxa yezinsizakalo ezivela eceleni ezibone ukuphepha kwabo kubekeka engcupheni futhi badalule leyo datha. Inani elidingekayo lezezimali selikhuphukile lisuka ku- $ 75.000 wokuqala laya ku- $ 150.000 abayicelile manje.. Ingabe ingozi yama-akhawunti we-iCloud ayekethisiwe ingokoqobo noma cha?
Uma othile efuna ukukhwabanisa inkampani efana ne-Apple enamakhulu ezigidi zama-akhawunti omsebenzisi agqekeziwe, iqiniso ukuthi inani lama- $ 150.000 libukeka lingenangqondo ngokuphelele, njengoba kunjalo nangendlela yokukhokha.

Noma kunjalo nge-new ukuqinisekiswa kwezinto ezimbili Kubukeka kungaphezu kokuxaka ukuthi noma ngabe une-akhawunti ne-password, ungafinyelela i-akhawunti yanoma ubani ngaphandle kweyodwa yamadivayisi wabo abathembekile. Umnqamulajuqu ngu-Ephreli 7, ngakho sizokwazi umphumela wale ndaba kungekudala.
