The case of NUD PICTURES with Hollywood stars who were allegedly stolen via iCloud led an American publication to investigate the way Apple's system is exploited and implicitly Apple IDs. They discovered a forum called AnonIB in which various hackers discuss methods by which iCloud accounts can be hacked or by which users can be tricked into providing their data, some of them even selling various information taken from accounts.
Until recently, hackers could use a program like the one in the first image to apply a brute force attack to guess the password of an Apple ID, but since Apple has closed the vulnerability, it is useless. If a hacker still manages to gain access to an account, he uses software such as the one in the second image, which allows him to retrieve iCloud backups along with all the information in them.
The problem with these programs is that they can't always download the photos saved in the backup, so sometimes hackers get absolutely nothing from all the work. Apart from these, hackers also explain methods by which email addresses can be verified to see if they are used for Apple IDs, the whole job being quite complicated and extremely dangerous, especially since the FBI is investigating the recent case. of stolen photos and a hacker was sentenced to 10 years in prison for posting pictures of Scarlett Johansson EMPTY.
