Apple says no iCloud breach actually happened

Apple has denied that all the pictures that were leaked of about 100 celebrities on the internet were because of iCloud breach. The iPhone maker released a statement in which it denied any breach of any of its services, including iCloud and Find My iPhone. Hunger Games actress Jennifer Lawrence, singer Rihanna, and reality TV star Kim Kardashian were among the high-profile victims of the theft, the spoils of which appeared on rogue bulletin-board site 4chan. Apple launched an instant investigation and yesterday announced its findings. "After more than 40 hours of investigation, we have discovered that certain celebrity accounts were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions, a practice that has become all too common on the Internet," it said in a statement. The ICT security community has espoused a number of theories as to how the data was exfiltrated, including social engineering, and lucky guesswork on the passwords. While Apple denies a breach of the Find My iPhone service, the Financial Times cited security researchers who said that prior to a weekend update, Apple allowed an unlimited number of guesses of passwords on the service, which would have left accounts vulnerable to brute force attacks Whitehats provide complete synchronization and support solutions not only related to Apple products but of all the portable devices belonging to all the major vendors/manufacturers like samsung, android, blackberry and Nokia etc. No such incidence of leakage of personal data is possible once you start utilizing services from Whitehats
