For weak security protocols and for putting your “life at risk”, Roberto Escobar, brother of Colombian drug trafficker Pablo Escobar, sued the Apple company.

What happened?
In his lawsuit, Escobar comments that, in April 2018, he bought an iPhone X, since “They assured him that his information would be safe from ‘hackers’ with that device.”
However, adds ‘TMZ’, “a year later, he received a letter from someone named ‘Diego’, who threatened him and told him that he had found his address through FaceTime.”
Escobar alleges that he felt fear for his life and emotional anguish for that letter they sent him. Further, He claims that he had to move out and “spend a lot of money” on his security.

To win the lawsuit, says the man, the money will be shared with all the people who “have bought iPhone and have been victims of security errors”.
Apple, meanwhile, has not commented on it.
