Episode notes
Sophisticated iPhone Theft Case
- A woman was drugged, her phone stolen, and password used to lock her data irretrievably by enabling advanced data protection with a recovery key.
- This sophisticated theft shows how Apple's features can be exploited if not secured properly.
Backup Data Beyond iCloud
- Always maintain multiple backups of your data on local devices and external drives.
- Relying solely on iCloud is risky; keep offline backups to safeguard against total data loss.
