Just how easy is it to break into Apple's iCloud accounts, even when you know things about the person whose account you are trying to break into and are professional researchers? Two Australian Journalists, friends, try to do just that—PING!

ANSWER: Not easy at all!

There are a bunch of naked photos of people floating around that says it is easy enough.

But who cares about that when the real important task is to run cover for Apple?

I personally keep all the nude selfies I take of myself and all my passwords and account information on my government computer at work. (sarc for those who have difficulties thinking I’m serious).

I never use actual answer.

That’s not really breaking in, that’s hijacking. If you go that route not only are you in they’re out, it’s an OK way to go if you can’t simply break in for whatever reason, but it is different. Breaking in is the same basic process as any other online resource: figure out their login. It’s probably e-mail and password, maybe ID and password. The hard part is generally the password... unless the person in question ain’t that bright.

Despite the fanboi flamewar from both sides, the moral to this story should be:

Don’t ever put anything compromising online. ever. EVER. What’s the old adage? something about ‘what you might say on a postcard’?

This sh*t will never change...
