Title: iCloud security
Post by: Duke Nukum on October 12, 2011, 08:02:52 PM

Does anybody here have any idea of how secure the iCloud is? I've nadined it but all that really comes up are some opinion pieces from last June.

I just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios5, I left icloud off until more info comes out about it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably do the same. Might wait until I actually need a cloud as these things can take months to sort out.

No bugs yet w/ 5.  Although I did get an ad (notification?) for a coupon app I use while I was in photo stream. I need to play with the new notifications more.

iCloud: iCloud security and privacy overview (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4865)

Don't know how I missed this before. Probably because it was down below some older articles.

Good detail but obviously they're not going to say: Our security is paper thin, they want to own the "cloud" market. ios5 includes 5GB of storage - additional storage is additional cost.  I'm still going to give it some time to play out before I start sending them my pics and files to store for me - although the concept is really cool if it works.
