On: Yes, I was hacked. Hard.

Because it shows people the effect that someone getting your iTunes password can have, especially if you've enabled Find my X in your account?

It shows that (maybe) it's possible to brute force an Apple password?

Because it's generally interesting reading, in the same way that people like to rubberneck at car crashes. I'm not saying that's right, but it's human nature.

Specially because people are dumb enough to rely important data to third parties, instead of having it at home.

[Dylan16807 → pjmlp]

Right. Because my own laptop is not 'at home'.

Encrypt the harddisk, and backup regularly when at home.

I imagine you have to be at home some point in the day right?

For the very important data, put it in a safe.

[Dylan16807 → pjmlp]

What? My first comment was sarcastic. When I have my laptop within arm's reach at home the data is safe without relying on a third party. Except when someone installs a backdoor.

[pjmlp → Dylan16807]

Ah, ok. Point taken.

I did not understood it like that, sorry about that.
