Security: Apple’s Secure Password Advice No Help Against ‘Epic Hack’

If you haven't read my colleague Mat Honan's eye-opening account of his "epic hacking" over the past weekend, you should. If you have, you have a pretty clear idea of how the trust we put in service providers can be cracked, and then subverted to amazing effect. In Mat's case, passwords were clearly the weakest link in the attack. Equally clear, however, is the fact that the password security practices most commonly enforced by cloud providers and corporate IT gave Mat no cover in the incident.
