Warning about some sort of iCloud "hack"

Just be aware that something has been going on (in Australia and New Zealand so far) which involves people being locked out of their iDevices. I'm not aware of any announcement from Apple yet but it would seem to be good practice to ensure:

  1. your iDevices use lock codes;

  2. you enable two-step verification for your Apple ID;

  3. you change any weak iCloud password to a stronger one, not used on any other site.

I'm sure this is obvious to readers of this forum but I thought I'd mention it. There is a long thread here on the Apple iPhone forum.

I've used the word "hack" very loosely in the title to this thread as at present nobody seems quite sure how this has all happened.
