Earlier this week, a Turkish hacker group, Turkish Crime Family, announced that it had hacked millions of Apple's iCloud accounts. Apple had demanded $ 75,000 worth of e-currency, or $ 100,000 ITunes coupons, or they will delete the content of up to 300 million accounts on the iCloud service, giving it no later than 7 next month.
Of course, the group's comments were widely circulated on social networking sites and news sites this week, which prompted a response from Apple to the matter.
The response was a statement to Fortune magazine, which confirmed that the company had not experienced any penetration of its servers, and that most of the breakthroughs are accounts that have not been compromised by hacking Apple's servers, but it is related to external breaches, and is likely to be linked to breaches of some global services Such as Yahoo and LinkedIn. The latter also assured users that complex passwords should be used and 2-step verification enabled to protect their accounts from hacking and hacking operations.
