Turkish Crime Family, a seven-membered hackers group claims their ability to access as many as 250 million iCloud accounts. They also urged to lock people out of their accounts by resetting their passwords on 7 April. Threatening Apple, the hackers have demanded money and said to wipe people’s linked iPhones if their demand is not fulfilled.

The truth and legitimacy of the threat are not cleared yet. However, this statement is a perfect time for people to be alert and secure their iClouds.

Demanded amount by the group from Apple is $700,000, to which they would let it go. Before the deadline, they may also expose their intentions said one of the group members.

“We have something planned soon before the attack.”

Apple has denied the claim saying that it doesn’t make any threat for the company. “There have not been any breaches in any of Apple’s systems including iCloud and Apple ID,” the company said in a statement.
