“Were some massaged from accounts in Apple’s iCloud”

“what few accounts that got compromised were breeched because the users allowed themselves to be phished”

But of course it has nothing to do with iCloud. Apple said so, and some guys rushed in to give a demo of wha they think might have happened, and the church of the Jobs says amen.

It’s those stupid people “holding it wrong”.

“You WANT it to be from Apple’s iCloud because that would tie into your extreme case of anti-Apple derangement. That’s known as confirmational bias. . . and you do it all the time on Apple threads.”

LOL!

I dont care where it was from, but I can bet that you were clutching your iPhone waiting for someone to give some tortured cover for Apple so you can rush in and say “see, see, all is well. Apple is blameless”. Like you do whenever that company lands in hot water.

Well... It doesn't. I'm not here to defend Apple but when people are careless with their own passwords and security questions it's their own dumb fault when they get hacked.

I thought that I read that it was a brute force hack using the hundred or so most favorite passwords...
