As we know and we already talk a lot here in MacMagazine, The "Activation Block" from iCloud has caused the number of thefts / thefts of iPhones to drop considerably worldwide. This is because, with “Search iPhone” enabled, the iPhone becomes a paper weight if the person does not have the iCloud login / password to unlock it.
Considering the high resale value of iPhones, the bad guys don't give up. And last week, a gang was captured by the Civil Police in So Paulo. Watch report from G1:
As you can see, the bandits in this case, in addition to stealing / stealing the devices, were still trying to discover the owners' iCloud data through an attack by phishing. We talked about this scam here on the site in February.

Having succeeded in the coup, the bandits then had unlocked and free iPhones for resale normally through a store in Santa Ifignia, the State Department of Criminal Investigations (Deic) found.
Police are now contacting all identified owners of the devices to return them. More than 80 victims have already been located and contacted successfully.
