If people are so stupid that they fall for this they deserve it - All tho i think its a bigger chance in the case of an regular Apple user who think their safe after years of Apple brainwashing them into believing their products are invulnerable.

It will be interesting when Apple centralizes power related to in-car entertainment, home and car security. It will become a large target; likely a bigger target than Microsoft ever was.

Microsoft platforms are used to collect and manage data, often corporate records, which can be reassembled, or recreated if they dissappear. But if Apple starts creating platforms for home automation, and security, and develop devices to manage physical things, It's not difficult to imagine it will attract much more attention of hackers because of the typical, and wealthier demographics of the usual Apple customer.

It's amazing how years of hearing a lie has turned all these people from common sense. Apple (and it's products) is not different from any other tech in existence. Anything that is man-made can be man-undone (so to speak).
