Apple devices hacked by ‘Oleg Pliss’ and held for ransom

Hey, remember when Apple promised that their products were ‘unhackable’? Well, they were wrong.
iPhone and iPad owners in Australia were in for a real shock when they woke to a strange sound coming from their devices Tuesday morning. According to The Huffington Post, the sound was not an alarm, but rather an alert informing them that their device had been hacked and locked.
A message appeared on the screen, stating that their Apple device has been “hacked by Oleg Pliss” with a message demanding between $50 and $100 to unlock it.
Many who were affected by the hack took to Twitter to voice their concerns.
