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遭到黑客攻擊，而黑客設法更改了與該ID關聯的電話號碼，那麼你就沒有追索權了，蘋果將根本無法做任何事情。
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.
發生了什麼：風險投資公司安德森·霍洛維茨的加密貨幣顧問帕基·麥考密克是蘋果公司的接收方。”s（納斯達克股票代碼：AAPL）有時會使安全措施令人沮喪。
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".
麥考密克的蘋果ID遭到黑客攻擊後，他無法訪問自己的iCloud。黑客設法輸入了正確的密碼，還繞過了蘋果的雙因素身份驗證（2FA）提示，麥考密克說他通過點擊 “不允許” 予以否認。

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.
儘管目前尚不清楚黑客是如何設法獲得正確的密碼並繞過蘋果的2FA安全性的，但麥考密克已經無法訪問他的iCloud數據，蘋果對此無能爲力。
"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.
“這簡直太瘋狂了。十多年來，我一直將同一個電話號碼綁定到那個賬戶，但我仍然可以控制與該賬戶關聯的電子郵件，而蘋果卻無能爲力？”麥考密克說。
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...)

前一天晚上我的 iCloud 被黑客入侵了。不知道怎麼做（儘管我在發推文說 Siri 壞了的那一刻收到了更改密碼的電子郵件...）

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."
根據麥考密克的說法，蘋果的客戶支持人員是這樣告訴他的：“好吧，他們是怎麼得到你的密碼的？他們不應該這樣。一旦他們更改了號碼，我們就無能爲力了。”
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.
這也不是一個新問題。數百名用戶發佈有關此問題的帖子已有好幾年了，而蘋果尚未解決這個問題。
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.
用戶還前往Reddit報告了這個問題，他們說他們無法訪問自己的帳戶，而Apple對此無能爲力。
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.
爲何重要：雙因素身份驗證旨在提高帳戶安全性。但是，就蘋果而言，這使帳戶被黑客入侵的用戶變得更糟。
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.
由此造成的最大影響是無法訪問iCloud，因此黑客現在可以在受害者被鎖定的情況下訪問備份到你的蘋果帳戶的任何照片、視頻和其他文件。
