A group of hackers claim that they have access to a large number of iCloud accounts and will start wiping iPhones on April 7th if Apple does not pay a ransom.The Hackers, identified as "The Turkish Crime Family" have demanded $75,000 in bitcoin or $100,000 in iTunes gift cards in exchange for deleting the list of accounts they are in possession of. The hackers claim to have access to over 300 million accounts. One hacker claims the number is 559 million.
My recommendation - Change your iCloud password NOW and perform a manual backup of your phone to your computer with iTunes.
