Celebrities get phished, but the cloud gets blamed

INFOWORLD | SEPTEMBER 5, 2014

No system is perfectly secure, but the fact is the cloud is more secure than on-premises systems [Really?!!]

It seems that hackers targeted celebrities using research and brute force to figure out how to access information in Apple's iCloud. According to reports circulating on the Web, the hackers managed to access backups on Apple's iCloud servers that occur each night to make sure that your lost or stolen phone does not lead to lost and stolen information. [unlikely on a properly maintained PC behind firewall and router].
