First, let’s talk about how your personal iCloud might get hacked.  Apple does a pretty good job at securing their actual infrastructure that drives iCloud.  What I mean by this, is the servers and computers that Apple uses to keep iCloud running are usually pretty safe.  While a hacker might still be able to breach Apple’s iCloud, it’s more unlikely to happen.  Because of this, most hackers will focus on attacking individuals rather than trying to attack Apple.  There are a few ways that a hacker can get into your iCloud account. Unlike breaking into Apple’s servers, hackers will try to obtain your credentials and then log into your account.  Once a hacker has your credentials, they can log in and do whatever they want.  There are a few different methods that a hacker can use to obtain your credentials.  Let’s talk about a few of those different methods.  Hopefully, by the end of this podcast, you’ll have a better awareness of where the vulnerabilities are and you can then take action to minimize your chances of getting hacked. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/apetech/support
