iPhone and Apple ransom incidents? Don't delay locking down your i-stuff

Some users of Apple iPhones, iPads and Macs have been getting strange wake up calls and unsettling messages demanding a ransom for access to their devices. (Here’s CNET’s reporting ofthe earliest incidents.) As of now, these “attacks” seem to be confined to people in Australia and New Zealand. That might sound like good news if you don’t live in Australia or New Zealand, but it’s possible that other parts of the world will be hit with copycat attacks if criminals figure out how this one was executed.

You have been targeted if any of your Apple devices display this message: “Hacked by Oleg Pliss. For unlock device YOU NEED send voucher code by 100 $/eur one of this (Moneypack/Ukash/PaySafeCard) to [email address]”
