I've heard of a service on a Planet Money podcast that encrypts everything you do and makes sure only your hardware has the code to decrypt it, that's pretty cool.
There's actually a really good Podcast I listen to called "Security Now" with Steve Gibson. He talks about all of the major security flaws that've happened to reach the news. They explain how the iCloud epidemic happened and how it can be prevented.

They also explain how Apple's finger print sensor is the best way of protection.

Apparently if you're Edward Snowden you shouldn't be using Apple products :lol:

I'll check the podcast out, thanks!

Yeah, finger print seems pretty solid.

Also forgot to mention that you can also use password managers. A good one that I like to use is LastPass

I doubt someone guessed her Apple ID and password either. Most likely used a code cracking program of some sort. They're not after the average Joe's account.
Additionally, security questions are easier to determine for celebrities.
