questions, not clear how they figured out the correct answers or obtain the user ids and pass words to a phishing scam. apple announced the steps from happening or try to prevent it. the tech giant will alert you via e-mail or push notification whenever you try to change your account password, log into a new device or restore icloud data to a new device. prior to this, no notification when he reor it stored it to a new device. you must use a pass word, four digit code, or long access key. in response to criticism, people saying that apple is lax on security, cook's reiterating saying hey, we worked with touch id which you can find on your iphone 6. >> look, this wasn't on us. >> and i have an issue with that, nobody hacked our servers, well, fine, but somebody took advantage of the process apple
