Apple phones across the United States went black, instantly triggering panic among countless people. Some had seen the information beforehand and heard the news on TV, but had not paid it any attention. Now, countless people were on the verge of tears.
"My data! It's all gone now."
"Why won't it restart? Is it completely broken? Damn Apple, it's not even as good as an Android phone. At least Android phones only reset to factory settings, and you can still use them afterward."
Those who had used Apple phones to laugh at Android users now felt that Apple was worse than Android.
Countless media outlets reported on the incident. Many American media sites placed the story on their front pages, with headlines declaring that Apple phones had been hacked and all turned into black bricks, while the United States had suffered another terrorist attack.
Yes, this incident was once again classified as a cyberterrorist attack, equivalent to the Android incident, and believed to have been carried out by the same group.
The United States "strongly condemned these terrorist organizations for launching cyberattacks and causing enormous losses to civilians. The United States would surely bring these thugs to justice. The president issued a special order commanding security departments across the country to spare no effort in solving the cyberattack case and mobilize their full strength to apprehend the suspects."
Britain: "Cyberattacks are also terrorist attacks. The 'Android Incident' and the 'Apple Incident' have shown us the power of cyberattacks. Condemning the thugs is one thing, but we must also call on all nations to strengthen cybersecurity measures and prevent such major accidents from happening again."
Russia: "Two cyberattacks in the span of one month have paralyzed civilian communications in the United States, causing immeasurable losses and dealing America a severe blow.
