    surr… that’s how breach timelines go in general, it’s a lot easier to “hack” lax security procedures directly or for third parties that Apple or Microsoft shares sensitive information with than it is to attack any database directly.

        hasn’t worked yet, 2fa doesn’t help with third-party breaches, and apparently doesn’t help secure Apple’s back end either.

        they’ve got to invest more in basic security infrastructure instead of placing the burden on the consumer, but I don’t think that’s going to happen either, since apple consumers are still happy getting breached every year.

          and what do you personally use? which company is up to your high security standards?

          because i read the same breaches with android powered phones, web browsers, windows… etc.

            are you John Apple?

            is there some reason you’re taking personal offense at Apple’s security failings?

            you thought ios was secure.

            it isn’t. ho hum.
