Summary
Apple CEO Tim Cook presents new products during a special event at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Howard Gilman Opera House October 30, 2018, in New York. A group of hackers named REvil has stolen and published product blueprints from Apple supplier Quanta Computer and is holding other blueprints under a $50 million ransom, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. The hackers reportedly published design details for a new MacBook on Tuesday, when Apple was holding a product event for new devices including the iMac, iPad Pro and an updated Apple TV. Quanta confirmed an attack to Bloomberg and said its working with law enforcement. REvil reportedly claims that it has other product blueprints and that it will continue to publish photos and documents of future Apple devices daily unless Apple pays the $50 million ransom.
