Is password reuse and phishing hacking now? The software wasnt vulnerable the wetware was.
And also they didn't hack iCloud, they hacked the accounts of those users.
Which most likely means someone downloaded a leaked database of another website and logged in to icloud because everyone reuses passwords.
No, they were able to hack accounts by knowing personal details about celebrities and guessing the passwords.
