Apple IDs locked for unknown reasons for a number of iPhone users
This happened to me and I discovered the issue was with app-specific passwords. In my case using app-specific passwords with Mailstrom caused the security problem, though entirely on Apple’s side of things.
The Mailstrom ppl worked with Apple to resolve the issue and they have. Perhaps others with suddenly locked iCloud accounts should have third parties look into it if using app-specific passwords for integration – i.e. mail, calendar or notes sync services. -

New credo is "if it's not wiped, don't buy it".
