You know I do not talk about hacking and cracking. The reason is simple, it is unethical and shameful act to access others data without their permission. But not all thinks the same way. I believe in Newton’s third law of motion that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Bad deeds come in front of you.

Last weekend, all the newspapers and blogs were covering the story of iCloud breach. It is normally believed that fruit company has the best security measures to protect their users data but seems it is not true.  They also said the breach is on targeted account and not the network. Whether it is single account breach or a whole network, breach is breach, just like theft is theft or lie is lie. So how could hackers were able to breach iCloud security and stole the personal data from accounts which needed two-way authentication to be accessed.

BBC has published a full article about the iCloud security breach. Before that Wired has published a long article about this whole breaching story of iCloud. BBC has questioned the iCloud security and has comments from different security analysts about the possibility of such breach. Wired article is in more detail and even introducing the software, which was used to breach into iCloud, publically. Many hundred thousand people may have never knew this software but now they know. And who cares, they are equally involved by spread words about how to misuse this hacking and breaching software.

Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker or EPPB is the software which was used to breach into iCloud. The intended audience for this tool are law enforcement agencies but everybody can purchase it from their website.
