Hacking Your iCloud Files just Got Easier

An Update to Elcomsoft's Phone Breaker Software, Now Makes it Easier for Good or Bad Guys to Bypass Apple's Vaunted New 2-Factor Authentication to Steal your iCloud Stuff. As before, the Hackers would Need Some Information to Start with -- Either your Apple ID / Password plus a 2-Factor Code, or a Digital Token Stolen from, Say, your Laptop. That Would Give Them Access to your Account Anyway but, here's the Kicker: The 'Phone Breaker' App Can then Create a Digital Token Granting Intruders Permanent Access without a 2-Step Code until you Change the Password. It also Allows Someone to View All your iCloud Files at a Glance, Making it Easier to Pick and Choose which to Steal. The Tool is Used Legitimately by Law Enforcement to Access Lawbreakers' Phones but, was also Recently Implicated in a Celebrity Phone hack.
