A Russian software company called Elcomsoft has just announced that it has successfully developed an application that, according to the company, can hack iCloud accounts even when users have applied 2-layer security. Phone Breaker is said to have "surpassed" the two-layer security technology that Apple applied on iOS 8 in September 2014. The prosecuted Phone Breaker is also the tool used to hack iCloud accounts and distribute sensitive photos of Hollywood stars in September 2014.

However, the nature of things is not so "scary" as what you just read above. By hacking iCloud with Phone Breaker, hackers must know Apple ID, password, and security code sent to the phone number; or they must steal your computer to get digital token from the hardware. Of course, with this information, hackers can also hack into iCloud and steal data.

In addition, Phone Breaker also helps intruders get "permanent" access to iCloud, unless you change the account password. This means that if your iCloud has been hacked once by Phone Breaker, the next time the hacker can continue to penetrate, no authentication code sent via SMS to the phone number, if you still use old password.

According to Elcomsoft, Phone Breaker is software for law enforcement agencies, used in criminal investigation cases. It helps access data quickly to better serve the investigation. However, the company does not restrict customers and this has caused Phone Breaker to be sold bustling in the "black market" on the Internet and made many users worried.
