July 15, 2011This was very interesting to know. I am a user of all Apple products and that would be a bad thing if my personal information was able to be accessed by other people. I hope that Apple finds a way to protect the consumers information if not I am sure many people will make a switch.
Wowie... I can't believe this and I hadn't heard anything about it, however, I'm not too up-to-date with following information regarding this type of breach. I too am an all Apple user and can't imagine if someone got ahold of my information. My sister went through identity theft a few years ago and is still battling with courts about it. It is a hairy process to undergo and I can't imagine being in that position. I just don't understand why people are hackers and would want to hurt people. It is just beyond me. I too hope that they find a way to protect Apple consumers and users. They're pretty good about making and keeping us happy. I sure do hope they pull through on this one!
