Apple icloud hacked

According to foreign media news, hackers in the European and American Otaku Gathering forum 4chan exposed a large number of Hollywood actress indecent photos, including Jennifer Lopez (Jennifer Lopez), "Spider-Man" heroine Kristin Dunst (Kirsten Dunst), singer Rihanna (Rihanna), Ivy Son (Avril Lavigne), Ally Ariana (Ariana Grande) and other dozens of popular actress.

It is reported that the female star indecent photos of a large-scale leakage of the specific reason is that hackers use the Apple phone icloud storage space loopholes, access to the female star's Apple phone and wantonly steal copies of the various types of "indecent and selfie" pictures, and then posted on the Internet circulated.

The vulnerability in the Apple icloud service could be to allow users to guess icloud passwords indefinitely until they find the correct password, according to the Next Web report, the US technology blog. Typically, the Internet service only allows for a limited number of password guesses, and if the results are all wrong, then the account will be completely locked. Apple says it has now fixed the flaw.

According to my analysis, if these stars enabled the two-step verification mechanism for icloud accounts, the photo leaks could have been avoided. Although the security of two-step verification is good, Apple has not widely publicized such security measures. After the two-step verification mechanism is enabled, signing in to icloud requires the user to enter a dynamic password that is sent to the phone or other device, and because the dynamic password is constantly changing, it is difficult to hack into an account even if the hacker knows the general password, and if the account being attacked does not have the two-step verification mechanism enabled, Then the likelihood of hacking will rise sharply.

I don't want to compliment Apple's icloud security, and I recommend that Apple users don't use icloud to back up photos and use icloud mailboxes, and if not, it's recommended that you turn on icloud two-step verification. In addition, icloud's login account and password require a separate mailbox and password, do not use your favorite mailboxes, or sign in to icloud with a mailbox that is registered with another site, because the mailboxes and passwords that you sign in to a third-party site may have been taken off the library.

In fact, the current popularity of cloud services may be more or less a security risk, it is very dangerous for users to keep the data in the cloud, many Apple users do not realize that the icloud account is black and the terrible problem. Once a hacker has successfully hacked into a user's icloud account, not only can they see photos and messages synced to the cloud, but they can also remotely delete data on their iphone and ipad, causing irreparable damage to users. As a result, users of Apple phones need to recognize the importance of icloud accounts, enable icloud two-step certification early, and ensure the security of icloud-logged-in mailbox accounts to avoid irreparable damage due to momentary negligence.
