What I take from this is trust the cloud. All of them. Google, Apple, Twitter. We are all safe.
Wait until the big once knocks down a data center. Yes this was a password hack, bit literally I can name my android phone attwifi in the mal and snoop passwords to everything.
The cloud... iCloud... Trust it. Dropbox has a hack themselves last week.
We no longer need local storage.
And people make fun of me for being paranoid....

An interesting story and cautionary tale
Yes, I was hacked. Hard.

At 5:00 PM, they remote wiped my iPhone
At 5:01 PM, they remote wiped my iPad
At 5:05, they remote wiped my MacBook Air.
I still can’t get into Gmail. My phone and iPads are down (but are restoring). Apple tells me that the remote wipe is likely irrecoverable without serious forensics. Because I’m a jerk who doesn’t back up data, I’ve lost at more than a year’s worth of photos, emails, documents, and more. And, really, who knows what else.
It is still unclear how the hackers got his iCloud password, but the implications are pretty scary once they do. It is no longer just a "they can read my email" thing.
