Apple CEO Tim Cook has assured that iCloud will get more security, post the iCloud based celebrity nude photo hack.
Cook announced a couple of security fixes Apple will roll out to the service in the next two weeks.
He revealed that iCloud will soon send a notification to users' devices when a new device accesses it. Two-factor authentication will also be strengthened throughout the service, the Mashable reported.
However, a notification might dissuade hackers from attempting a break-in in the first place, but it's not a fully protective measure. It doesn't actually stop a committed user of the fully legal $200 iCloud cracking software known as Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker or EPPB.
The system has raised many questions regarding the security, like, if the new feature was implemented before Jennifer Lawrence's pictures were leaked, the system would have sent a 'notification message' but by the time Lawrence had notified authorities, her private pictures, backed up to iCloud, could still have been halfway around the world, so is this system secure enough to safeguard people's privacy.
Cook said that the company wants to do everything they can do to protect their customers because they are as outraged as the customers are.
