3 things you should do right now to protect your Apple iCloud account

3 things you should do right now to protect your Apple iCloud account.

This is a followup to my Friday post about hackers possessing passwords to 250 million Apple iCloud accounts.

Apple users really should heed the advice of the experts and pay attention to the threat to their data posed by the hacker group, "Turkish Crime Family".  The London based hacker group may or may not have access to 250 million Apple iCloud accounts but they have proven they have access to an indeterminate number of accounts.  That is more than reason enough to protect your account and data by changing your password today.

from ZDNet article, change your password!

Since Apple isn't doing this, it's up to you.

Apple talks as if your Apple ID and iCloud ID are different. They're not. They're the same, and they use the same password.

To change your Apple ID password, sign in to your Apple ID account page with any web browser and follow the instructions to reset your password. I changed mine using Google Chrome from a Mint Linux system.

I know ignorance is bliss, especially for Apple users.
