    Hackers now target iPhone and iPad users with a new Ransomware technique using the existing Apple’s Security feature. Well, there is no bugs or flaws this time, but hackers are using “Find my iPhone” feature to lock the device after stealing users iCloud password. As “Find my iPhone” service allows the owner of the iPhone to display message on screen after locking the device, hackers use the same technique and display their contact information where the Ransom should be sent.
