Hi, today for an emergency i had to backup my iphone in my windows pc.*
let’s say that someone could gain access to my computer, could he be able to access my backup included my apple id and google account without any password or passcode?
*note that i didn’t use an encrypted backup
iPhone SE, iOS 17
If you didn’t encrypt the backup and didn’t previously encrypt Windows storage using BitLocker or otherwise, then the contents of data files stored including the iOS backup on the PC can be accessible, yes.

If you are concerned about an unencrypted and exposed backup, change your passwords and your tokens.
Password changes are probably entirely unnecessary, of course.
But if you need yet higher assurance, grind up the PC and melt it down. I’m not joking.

thank you another time. it’s crazy that a big company like apple which is entirely based on security and privacy world make such a stupid mistake
