Sometimes, a secure password does not serve to protect our data. That is precisely what the journalist Mat Honan at Wired discovered in last Friday, when a hacker managed to gain access to your account iCloud with the help of an employee's service from Apple.

After gaining access to your account iCloud, the hacker managed to access the Gmail account and Twitter, as well as access to the Twitter account of Gizmodo, a place where he had worked.

In less than five minutes, the hacker deleted remotely iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air and the journalist, leaving him no way to communicate and erasing years of personal information.

After a few hours trying to regain control of their accounts, Honan says he was contacted by someone claiming that he had managed to enter in their accounts because he had tricked an Apple employee. Honan confirmed with Apple that the story was true, and that the hacker had managed to convince an Apple employee who was the journalist. The worst of this story is that the hacker did not even need to answer security questions to begin the reset iCloud account of the journalist.

Honan says he sent, however, an email to Tim Cook and the public relations department of Apple so they can comment on what happened. "I want to give the company a little more time to review their internal processes, but should be as simple as a change in policy," says the journalist, for the security processes iCloud. "Until now, still not getting any response from Apple."
