icloud recovery backup has serious security vulnerabilities

icloud for iOS 5 users, they can finally abandon the data cable, wireless backup and recovery equipment. However, is it really safe to transfer your content to an Apple server? Not。 Recently, a user has found icloud a serious problem, or caused the user's email address leakage.

You can watch what video first. The user recovers his iphone and is trying to recover a backup with icloud. When a user logs on to the icloud account with an Apple ID, clicking "Cancel" encounters the icloud again asking for the Apple ID password and displays a different user ID. The problem is here, these user IDs have not been logged in this device, that is to say, the slightest relationship with the device, so casually exposed to the icloud. Also, when the user clicks Cancel again, a new ID is displayed. Repeatedly appeared 5, 6 times after the rear.

Browsing the Apple website's discussion area found that Apple had actually noticed the security breach, but did not resolve the issue in the latest iOS 5 update. It is hoped that Apple will address such a serious security breach in its next update.
