Tim Cook Says Apple Will Implement Additional Security Measures Following Nude Celebrity Photo

Apple CEO Tim Cook has spoken with the WSJ to address concerns following this week's leak of nude celebrity photos that were stolen from their iCloud accounts.
The company previously reported that iCloud was not breached and the photos were accessed by hackers who correctly guessed the security questions set by the celebrities or used a phishing scam to obtain their account details. However, Cook said Apple would take more steps to notify users that such activity may be taking place.


To make such leaks less likely, Mr. Cook said Apple will alert users via email and push notifications when someone tries to change an account password, restore iCloud data to a new device, or when a device logs into an account for the first time. Until now, users got an email when someone tried to change a password or log in for the first time from an unknown Apple device; there were no notifications for or restoring iCloud data.
