Are you using iCloud? Than you have to be concerned, because a hacker stated that made a tool which can easily access your account without finding any trouble with Apple’s security measures. According to recent information, iDict hasn’t action yet but the inventor says it is only a matter of time when the hackers will start attacking iCloud accounts using this tool.
It bypasses all Apple security measures
OK, so Apple has some quite severe defensive measures against hacker and all kinds of attacks at their customers’ privacy. First off, it stops people from guessing passwords over and over again by blocking "brute force" attacks. Apple also lets people verify login attempts using their cellphone through two-factor authentication. Only to mention the most important and efficient of them… But, unfortunately, those don’t stop iDict, as it bypasses all of them.
Celebrities had big problems
No other information are, what so ever, about this, but some users that tested it on Twitter and Reddit claimed that it works like mentioned and can put a lot of problems for those who get into their iCloud account. In fact, through iCloud happened the major attacks from hackers last year, when some celebrities’ accounts were broken and naked private pictures of them were posted on the Internet and created a major scandal. In this situation Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton so you better be very careful with your iCloud account and what applications do you use because otherwise you can get unwanted surprises.
