Good thing, there was some talk going around about a hack that looked like ransom ware but was actually taking advantage of stolen passwords and Find my device functionality.
If your Apple password is also your Yahoo password or an old sony password go and change it as soon as you can do it on a secure network. What I have rad indicates no Apple passwords have been stolen, but that since password hashes from various other places have folks are now attempting to use those passwords on Apple accounts to lock users out of their system.
