TECHNO - Since Apple has confirmed that hundreds of nude
photos of celebrities came from an attack on its online storage service iCloud
Wednesday, its shares fell 4% in stock and you are entitled to ask you how to
protect yourself also your photos, at least those that hackers should not have
access.
Here's how to protect photos from your iPhone and iCloud in
three easy steps.

1.
Remove
your photos iCloud
If your photos will automatically transfer to iCloud, you
are a good target for hackers. How to turn this off?
a. Go to your Settings and select iCloud
b. Scroll up Photos
c. Disable buttons My photo stream and Photo Sharing
2.
Remove
your photos (incriminating or not) in my photostream
If your personal collection was transferred to the iCloud
automatically, make sure not to relegate too personal photos in your photo
stream. To do this, click on your iPhone Photos and Albums, and watch my
photostream. Remove any photos you do not want to share. You May Like: How

3.
Configure
an additional check in iCloud
You should also set a two-step verification for your iCloud
account. That way, anyone who wants access must enter a special code that is
sent to your iPhone or texting will know your security key (a separate
password) to log in to your iCloud account.
Here's how to set it
up:
a. Go to iCloud.com and log in to your account
b. Click Account Settings
c. Click your Apple ID
From there you will be redirected to a new page.
d. Click Manage your Apple ID
e. Click Password and Security
Apple will now ask security questions you had back when you
created your iCloud account (as the maiden name of your mother). Once
connected, you can enter your phone number for verification in two stages.
Apple will send a code to your phone, so you can put it online. You will also
receive a special code called a security key that you should print out and keep
in a safe place. So if you do not have your phone in hand, you can enter your
code.
Whenever you want to connect to iCloud, Apple will send you
a text message. That way, a hacker must know both your username and have your
phone available to access your photos.
