WHAT HAPPENED: Recent news reports indicate that Apple has been threatened by a malicious hacking group. Apple was instructed to comply with certain demands by April 7 or all data will be removed from the 300 million iPhones, iPads, and other devices that are connected to allegedly compromised iCloud accounts.
WHAT CAN YOU DO: Ensure you are properly protecting your iCloud account by resetting your iCloud account password and taking full advantage of Apple’s Two-factor Authentication services.
The two-factor authentication feature can be enabled right from your iPhone in just a few simple steps:
- Go to Settings > iCloud > tap your Apple ID
- Tap Password & Security
- Tap Turn on Two Factor Authentication
We encourage you to take these steps at your earliest convenience.
