Hackers have gotten iCloud credentials from a third-party and are logging into the accounts and locking Apple devices (this could be your computer or phone).  After this happens you get a phone number and have to pay a ransom to get access to your device.

What should you do?
1:  It’s the perfect time to change your password!  Check out our blog about passwords.
2:  If you haven’t done so yet, you may consider two step authentication.  While this makes logging in a bit more of a hassle, it keeps your data safer.
