iCloud account breach. What to do?
Hi, my iCloud account was breached yesterday in the following manner : someone managed to activate the two factors authentication of my account and link it to a phone number unknown to me. I was able to correct the situation but it took me a few hours to be able to react as I am currently traveling in Japan with « just » my iPhone and iPad. No computer.
Basically this means that someone managed to break my strong password and accès my iCloud data and files. The possible implications I foresee is
- They stole some files and or data for ransom
- They encrypted some files but I have tm backups
- They uploaded some malware/ Trojan horse or whatever evil stuff they do in my iCloud files.
Number 3 scares me the most. How can I scan my online iCloud files for malware ?
what would be the proper reaction to what happened ? Off course I already changed my password for something I cannot even remember and linked the 2 factor id to my phone.
Thanks for your help.
