If you remember , Honan ’s iCloud write up was confiscate by the hackers when they offered up Honan ’s last 4 digits of his credit card as proof of their identity as Honan to Apple . But according to what Apple has been say publically , that is n’t how Apple security policies process . Apple issued a statement saying “ we find that our own internal insurance policy were not followed entirely . ” essentially , Apple claims Honan ’s hack should n’t of go on like that . Um , Apple is n’t distinguish the whole the true here .

A rootage inside Appletold Wiredthat “ if the support representative who took the drudge ’s call issued a temporary password based on an Apple ID , billing address , and the last four digits of a credit calling card , she would have “ absolutely ” been in complaisance with Apple policy . ” Apple is publicly claim one affair while internally doing something completely different . Whether its arrogance or embarrassment of the post does n’t matter , what ’s direful is cause a fellowship — one that holds so much of your personal data point — dodge the issue in effort to save face as opposed to admit defect and fixing the feat .

Currently , Wired is reportingthat Apple has order its support staff to “ immediately stop sue AppleID password change requested over the phone ” for at least 24 minute . This freeze on password changes will give Apple some prison term to figure out what they need to do to fix the situation . Hopefully , Apple figures it out so this awing hack wo n’t happen so easily again . [ Wired ]
