“Send me $100 by PayPal if you want to use your phone.” That was the threat some Australian iPhone users saw on their locked screens, reports Digital Trends, an online newsletter.
It happened so far away that why should we care about it here? Well the answer to that is it seems to be the kind of lockdown that could happen anywhere and probably will.

Some users were locked out of other Apple devices as well, including iPads and Macs.
