A group of hackers allegedly hacked iCloud to unlock iPhones locked with Activation Lock

  Company servers Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), they are among the most secure in the world and so far they have been exploited a few times, a limited number of data being taken over by hackers. A group of hackers from the Netherlands is added to the list of exploits claim that they broke the system iCloud since March, notifying Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and using the exploit in the meantime to unlock iPhones locked with Activation Lock.

  Hackers would have bought 30.000 iPhones locked with Activation Lock at an average price of $50, they unlocked them using the exploit for the system Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and they sold the terminals at prices between $450 and $700. If the information is true, then the hackers made a colossal profit from the sale of these terminals, the database of those from Apple being used in an unauthorized way for unlocking.

  Although the Apple company would have been notified since March about the vulnerability of its servers, it seems that the Americans from Cupertino would not have seen fit to solve their problems. In this idea, hackers continue to unlock their iPhones, and in the image above we have an example of a recent unlocking process done by them in Apple's servers. The hackers used a special application to unlock the iPhones, interposing itself between the terminal and the iCloud servers, but of course access to the Apple infrastructure is also needed to execute everything.

  The bigger problem is that hackers have access to user data, in encrypted format, and if Apple doesn't solve its problems, they could start taking all kinds of confidential information.
