Hello, if you ever want to use your phone or tablet again......
[url=http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/consumer-security/apple-device-hijacking-spreads-to-us-as-aussies-urged-to-change-passwords-20140529-zrrap.html]Please meet my ransom demands[/url] and send money to my PayPal.
[quote]The attacks, which were initially only impacting device owners in Australia, involve a hacker logging in to Apple iCloud accounts and using the lost device feature to lock users out. A message then demands a ransom of between $US50 and $US100 for the device to be unlocked.[/quote]
Has anyone encountered this themselves or know of anyone who has?

#watchdogs I had to...I've been playing the game almost non stop now...

I've known of something similar which involves a virus grabbing files on your computer and locking them until you pay a ransom. Any attempts to do anything other than pay the ransom results in the files being deleted. I suppose that this is yet another reminder to save your content in multiple locations and make backups regularly.
