They are threatening to wipe out millions of iPhones by April 7th. Well, that’s 6 Days to go…
Well, after the Wikileaks exposed how CIA is hacking iPhones and we have this – It is one thing to own a premium gadget and a completely different piece of pie to own peace of mind.
And if you own an Apple device, even a celeb-status might not be enough to save data from being wiped out from your phone. For the record, Apple IDs are among the toughest nuts to crack. However, it’s not entirely impossible and we have some searing accounts of thousands of compromised iCloud accounts in the past.
In the latest findings, a new gang of alleged cybercriminals who call themselves the “Turkish Crime Family” has reportedly blackmailed Apple to pay them $100,000, failing which they have threatened to remotely wipe out millions of iPhones.
Is their claim really true? And should you be worried about it? At this point, neither of these stands validated.
They are demanding a lot of money
To force a reaction from Apple, the hackers have allegedly engaged in continuous conversations with the media. Speaking to Motherboard, the Turkish Crime Family has announced that they either need $75,000 in Bitcoin or Ethereum. Alternatively, they have demanded $100,000 worth of iTunes gift cards.
One of the hackers said: “All I want is my money. We thought the report would interest numerous Apple customers and they would oblige once they read and hear about it.”
More suspicion
To top that, it appears that the hackers have actually been in contact with the security team of Apple for a while now.
In a YouTube video uploaded by the hackers, they are even seen proving their access to the iCloud account of an elderly woman. Such access, if really available, could easily be used to wipe out all the data present on iPhones and iPads.
The Turkish Crime Family has also shared screenshots of what appears to be a conversation between them and the security team of Apple, wherein the company reps are requesting them to delete this particular video upload.
Understandably, Apple does not appear to be in a mood to pay up the ransom. In the purported mail, they seem to write: “We would seek your indulgence in firstly kindly getting the video off the air as it is attracting unnecessary attention. Also, we do not intend to send out rewards to cybercriminals for breaking the law.”
Almost 300 million accounts at risk
Or at least that is the figure that the hackers are claiming. This includes domains ending in @icloud and @me. But there is much source of confusion in the number as well. That is because another hacker from the same group claimed that is the figure stands taller at 550 million accounts.
The group has not furnished an explanation on how they gained access to so much of confidential data in the first place.
April 7th is the deadline
It is still unclear is the Turkish Crime Family has access to all the data that they are claiming. However, it is public knowledge that Apple data is not impenetrable. It has been compromised before. And that is why there is always going to be this shroud of doubt, and a heavy one at that.
Meanwhile, the hackers have officially given Apple a deadline of April 7. They have threatened to go ahead with wiping out millions of iPhones on the date if they do not receive the extortion money from Apple.
No comments from Apple
At this moment, there has not been a public comment from Apple on the developments. Since there is a reasonable chance that the hackers might indeed be holding access to confidential account credentials, you might want to reconsider the strength of your present Apple password.
The incident also reminds us of the need for two-step authentication of password for Apple and all other online accounts.

Excellent and professional investigative services. I hired Mr Sam for a very private and difficult matter of hacking my wife’s phone, and he far exceeded my expectations. He helped me get the info(whatsapp, facebook, text messages, call logs etc) I needed faster and cheaper than I had imagined. The first time we spoke, we had a very long phone consultation in which he gave me all my options that he could think of to resolve my case, and he even recommended I try other options before hiring him, which shows that he is honest. I decided to hire him and I am glad I did. He is a fantastic investigator and a great person and if you have a dishonest partner don’t hesitate to send him a mail

This is my advice to anyone who wants to hack a phone, make sure you pay for the right hacker like Fred. I wish I knew this sooner, I would not have spent so much on different spy apps. It took sometime before I finally found a way to hack my wife’s phone without having access to it. I mentioned my fears and insecurities to a friend and she recommended this guy to me: Fred hacker, This guy provided a service that allows me to monitor her calls and conversations. I haven’t decided on what to do yet. I don’t think I can continue in this marriage. She is cheating on me. Contact him on [email protected] and you can text,call and whatsapp him on +15177981808

This was remotely done and professionally handled with few requirements. Things were not going well for me in my relationship, I was so confused and I didn’t know what to do. things became worse when my husband started telling me he needs to stay long hours at work almost every night for clubs and hang out with friends not knowing he was seeing someone else, it is good as dead when you cant take charge of your relationship because it was so surprising to me what was happening because he wasn’t lacking anything. But I was helped by Fred Hacker who monitored his activity and found out that he had been Cheated by his former Girlfriend and he was sleeping with her every time. it was terrible for me: thanks to Fred who helped out…contact his gmail [email protected] and you can call,text and whatsapp him on +15177981808. If you need his help. Reach out!!
some experience in life will make you change your opinion about so many things few days ago i got into some discussion with my friends about hiring a hacker to spy on spouse …. honestly i was boldly against it and thought to myself that i could never hire an hacker for any reason …..my former loving wife who always showed me love suddenly changed in her attitude which go me really emotionally down i tried talking to her and tried to fix things but it really felt like i worsened the case.things got really bad and i decided to use the service i found online and i implored his service and our business was confidential, i got to know who my wife has been having an extra marital affair with, i deal with the issue my own way and was satisfied with the result …Thanks FRED HACKER. contact him on [email protected] and you can text,call or whatsapp him on +15177981808
