Hackers locking iPhones, demanding ransoms

Another Apple Security failure....

You gotta love Apple and their security posture. We've known security
questions like "what's your mother's maiden name" were junk for over a
decade, and yet Apple still adopted them after their breach in 2012.
(Its public information; and how is Mom supposed to change her maiden
name after a breach?).

And Apple rejects location limited channels like walking into an Apple
store with a picture ID, a credit card used with the account, and past
bills. They should be given a special Pwnie Award.
