First and foremost on the list was the alleged hacking of iCloud accounts to acquire stashes of explicit celebrity photos. It didn&#8217;t matter that Apple reported that these intrusions weren&#8217;t the result of any fault with iCloud, but because Internet criminals got ahold of the usernames and passwords of the entertainers.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose it is difficult for a celebrity to hide their online presence. They will want usernames that are easy to recognize, usually their own names. So you only need to make a good guess about their passwords, and here they need to be strongly advised that such basic choices as &#8220;1234&#8221; or &#8220;password&#8221; are non-starters. Apple&#8217;s iCloud Keychain can even suggest a secure password that is near-impossible to guess, except by repeated tries.<\/p>\n<p>Apple has also added brute force protection, meaning you can&#8217;t just keep guessing before you are locked out, along with two-factor authentication, which adds an extra layer of protection. So you may be able to figure out the correct password, but the system will also send a keyword via email or to your mobile phone. Of course, if someone has your mobile phone, and you haven&#8217;t bricked it using Apple&#8217;s Find My iPhone feature, forget about privacy.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Wait!
