Apple tech support allows hacker access to journalist's iCloud account
Submitted by Mahendra Bahal on Mon, 08/06/2012 - 11:14
With reports on Friday revealing that the iCloud account of former Gizmodo reporter Mat Honan had been hacked, it was discovered on Sunday that the hack was partly an upshot of "social engineering" by an Apple tech support employee.
About his iCloud account hack, journalist Honan said on his blog that the breach not only wiped out his iPhone, iPad, and MacBook remotely, but also apparently wreaked havoc on Gizmodo's Twitter feed.
