Apple ID Hack And Phone Number Change Leave Users Without ICloud, No Help From iPhone Maker
If your Apple ID ever gets hacked and the hacker manages to change the phone number linked to the ID, you have no recourse, and Apple will not be able to do anything at all.
如果你的Apple ID遭到黑客攻击，而黑客设法更改了与该ID关联的电话号码，那么你就没有追索权了，苹果将根本无法做任何事情。
What Happened: Packy McCormick, cryptocurrency advisor to venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, was on the receiving end of Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) sometimes frustrating security measures.
发生了什么：风险投资公司安德森·霍洛维茨的加密货币顾问帕基·麦考密克是苹果公司的接收方。”s（纳斯达克股票代码：AAPL）有时会使安全措施令人沮丧。
McCormick has lost access to his iCloud after his Apple ID was hacked. The hacker managed to enter the correct password and also bypass Apple's two-factor authentication (2FA) prompt that McCormick said he denied by tapping "Don't Allow".
麦考密克的苹果ID遭到黑客攻击后，他无法访问自己的iCloud。黑客设法输入了正确的密码，还绕过了苹果的双因素身份验证（2FA）提示，麦考密克说他通过点击 “不允许” 予以否认。

While it's not clear yet as to how the hacker managed to obtain the right password and also bypass Apple's 2FA security, McCormick has lost access to his iCloud data, and there's nothing that Apple can do about it.
尽管目前尚不清楚黑客是如何设法获得正确的密码并绕过苹果的2FA安全性的，但麦考密克已经无法访问他的iCloud数据，苹果对此无能为力。
"That is absolutely f****** insane. I've had the same phone number tied to that account for over a decade, and I still control the email connected to the account, and there's nothing Apple can do?" said McCormick.
“这简直太疯狂了。十多年来，我一直将同一个电话号码绑定到那个账户，但我仍然可以控制与该账户关联的电子邮件，而苹果却无能为力？”麦考密克说。
My iCloud was hacked the other night. Not sure how (although I got the password changed email exactly the same minute I tweeted about Siri being bad...)

According to McCormick, this is what Apple's customer support person told him: "Well, how did they get your password? They shouldn't have had that. there's nothing we can do once they change the number."
根据麦考密克的说法，苹果的客户支持人员是这样告诉他的：“好吧，他们是怎么得到你的密码的？他们不应该这样。一旦他们更改了号码，我们就无能为力了。”
This is not a new problem, either. Hundreds of users have been posting about this issue for several years now, and Apple has not addressed it yet.
这也不是一个新问题。数百名用户发布有关此问题的帖子已有好几年了，而苹果尚未解决这个问题。
Users have also taken to Reddit to report this problem, stating that they have lost access to their accounts and Apple cannot do anything about it.
用户还前往Reddit报告了这个问题，他们说他们无法访问自己的帐户，而Apple对此无能为力。
Why It Matters: Two-factor authentication is intended to improve account security. However, in Apple's case, it has made matters worse for users with hacked accounts.
为何重要：双因素身份验证旨在提高帐户安全性。但是，就苹果而言，这使帐户被黑客入侵的用户变得更糟。
The most significant impact of this is losing access to iCloud, so the hacker can now access any photos, videos, and other files backed up to your Apple account while the victim is locked out.
由此造成的最大影响是无法访问iCloud，因此黑客现在可以在受害者被锁定的情况下访问备份到你的苹果帐户的任何照片、视频和其他文件。
