Apple CEO Tim Cook today said the company will do more to alert iCloud users about potential security threats. Beginning in about two weeks, Apple will send emails and push notifications to make consumers aware of attempts to change their password, restore iCloud data to a new device, or when a new device logs into the account for the first time. This way, users will be able to act sooner to curb data thefts. The changes come in the wake of a recent breach that allowed hackers to find and post private photos of celebrities.
