cnn. *still* trying to milk flight 370 for ratings...sigh.
Im not gonna give them the click, but I assume this about the report from Australia. I dont live in Australia.
And even tho "ransomware" has been around for some time -- I think I even read that Android phones were being hit a couple of months ago, which there was no press on -- its only in the news cause "Apple"...

Only affects people who use eBay, whose eBay password is the same as their email password and that that email is a .me, .mac or .icloud account and is their eBay account email. Thank eBay.
