A Eurostar spokesman said : `` This email was sent after we identified what we believe to be an unauthorised automated attempt to access customer accounts , so as a precaution , we asked all account holders to reset their password .

New statements from Apple make it clear that they do not believe a hacker , or group of hackers , breached any of their systems . This comes after a recent report from Motherboard that a hacker gang called the `` Turkish Crime Family '' is threatening to remotely wipe up to 559 million iPhones by April 7 . The hackers claim they hold an alleged cache of stolen accounts , and their goal is to shake downAttack.Ransomthe big Apple for $ 75,000 in Bitcoin or Ethereum cryptocurrency . Alternatively , in lieu of those options , they will even acceptAttack.Ransom$ 100,000 in iTunes gift cards ( a potentially risky option for them ) . Apple responded to the allegation that the hackers breachedAttack.Databreachits systems , assuring their systems were not compromisedAttack.Databreach, but did not confirm if the hackers do in fact holdAttack.Databreachan entire collection of Apple IDs and passwords . Whatever information they do have , probably came from previously comprised third-parties . `` If the list is legitimate , it was not obtainedAttack.Databreachthrough any hackAttack.Databreachof Apple , '' an Apple spokesperson told Fortune in an email . `` There have not been any breachesAttack.Databreachin any of Apple 's systems including iCloud and Apple ID . '' Even if the data did n't come from an Apple breachAttack.Databreach, it could still mean your iCloud login details are out there . Fortune suggested that the logins could be from the LinkedIn hackAttack.Databreach, in which login info from 117 million accounts was sold on the black market site `` The Real Deal . '' Though , if the Turkish Crime Family really has 559 million accounts , well , a mere fraction of the 117 million from LinkedIn does n't really cut it . The hackers have been sending login information to media companies in an effort to gather attention to their scam . For example , The Next Web received a small fraction of the alleged data from the hackers , and cross-referenced the info with the site Have I Been Pwned , which checks to see if your email or username has been compromisedAttack.Databreachin a hack . Most of the samples provided to TNW do n't appear to have been involved in the LinkedIn hack or other hacks in the Pwned database , but TNW was able to accessAttack.Databreachthe accounts with the login information provided by the hackers , so the info looks legitimate . They ca n't test every login , so the small sample may not be indicative of the whole . The Turkish Crime Family also noted to TNW that all conversations with Apple were actually kept private and never reported to Motherboard . Instead , the conversation between the Turkish Crime Family and Motherboard were led by a member that has now been removed for his `` inaccuracy '' and `` lack of professionalism , '' an the group denies the authenticity of Motherboard 's report . Overall , the hacking team seems to have a hard time sticking to one story . Now , the hacker group is confirming Apple 's statement that its systems have not been breachedAttack.Databreach, and that the stolen data was obtainedAttack.Databreachthrough previously compromised systems over the last five years . The Turkish Crime Family is , in fact , not contradicting Apple . They did not breachAttack.Databreachthe company , nor did they ever state to Motherboard that they stoleAttack.Databreachthe info directly from Apple . Rather , after Motherboard 's breaking March 21 report , a breach was assumed by some news outlets such as BGR , though most media sites never directly stated that the hackers breached Apple . The Turkish Crime Family 's initial response to Motherboard , and the group 's only statement , was to extortAttack.RansomApple over an alleged cache of iCloud and other Apple email accounts . The group never stated where their cache of data came from until today when they contacted TNW in response to Apple .
