A group of hackers calling themselves the Turkish Crime Family claim to have access to at least 300 million Apple accounts. In speaking with Motherboard , the hackers say they’ve been in contact with Apple’s security team regarding a ransom of $75,000 in Bitcoin or Ethereum (another decentralized blockchain-based distributed computing platform) or $100,000 in iTunes gift cards.
The team reportedly provided the publication with access to an e-mail account and screenshots of e-mails between them and Apple’s security team. The hackers also shared a YouTube video in which it appears as though they log into some stolen accounts including one allegedly belonging to an elderly woman.
