[iPad] Re: Ouch a real iPad Virus / Ransomware

 

Hi Jim:
Should the Apple ID and the Cloud IDs be different?

Patch?

First you create a password for a site, banking perhaps, or Target, or some such, that gets hacked through *their* system vulnerabilities.

Then, against ALL advice to the contrary, you re-use that same password on iCloud.

The hacker tries the thousands of passwords he got from his hack, together with the attached name, on iCloud.

He finds a few that match, locks those people's devices, and demands ransom.

It isn't clear to me how Apple fixes the users stupidity.
