Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, iiblogi ezininzi zetekhnoloji zaphinda i-rumor echaza ukuba abafana baseCupertino babefumana i-eI-Blackmail liqela labaduni baseTurkey, apho babefuneka ukuba badlulisele i-75.000 yeedola kwi-bitcoins.. Aba barhanelwa babanga ukuba banokufikelela kuzo zonke iiakhawunti ze-iCloud zenkampani, ukuze bafikelele kuyo yonke idatha yebhanki egcinwe kwii-ID ze-Apple. Ndiqinisekile ukuba ubuzifundile iindaba ubucinga ukuba azinangqondo.
Nangona kuthathe ixesha elide kunesiqhelo, i-Apple ikuqinisekisile ngokusemthethweni ukuba akukho xesha Iiakhawunti ze-iCloud zithotyelwe ngaphandle kobungqina bokuba abaduni bathumele kwinkampani. Ngokwengxelo epapashwe kwi-Fortune, "iiakhawunti ze-iCloud azizange zithotyelwe nangaliphi na ixesha, akukho nto yaphulwayo kuyo nayiphi na inkqubo enxulumene ne-iCloud okanye i-Apple ID."
Ukuqala, ukuba i-hacker inokufikelela kuzo zonke ii-akhawunti ze-iCloud kunyeUkuhlangulwa bekungayi kuvela kwinto encinci ebaluleke kangako, kodwa yayiza kuba sisixa esikhulu ngakumbi kuneso babecinga ukuba babeyifuna. Abaduni babeyinxalenye yeqela le-Turkish Crime Family. Iindaba zokuqala ezinxulumene nesi sityholo se-hack zichaphazele iiakhawunti ze-300 yezigidi. Kwiiyure nje ezimbalwa, elo nani lenyuka laya kutsho kwi-akhawunti yezigidi ezingama-627.
Eli qela lifuna ukuba i-Apple ihlawule i-75.000 yeedola kwii-bitcoins ngaphambi kwe-7 ka-Epreli okanye mhlawumbi baya kuqalisa ukusula izixhobo bekude, benze uluntu lonke ulwazi olugcinwe kuzo. Eli qela lipapashiwe Iimvavanyo ezifunyenwe ngu-Apple azizange zigqibe, kuba ezi zilula zokubanjwa kwe-imeyile.
