Here's some more on it. Doesn't sound too bad if you're outside Australia and even so, if you;re using a 4 digit passcode you can still access your devices. Still, it's a serious problem.

I don't use iCloud, but my friends who do insist it's "perfectly safe." Yea right!

I don't think you can fault iCloud security for this one. From the follow up reports, it looks like the people affected gave out their iCloud info as a result of a phishing attempt by the perps.

I'm not faulting iCloud security. I'm just saying it ain't "perfectly safe."

It certainly isn't. All you need is one rogue employee at one of the many telecoms, or server farms.
