Last week Mat Honan shared his horror story of getting hacked out of his iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Google and Twitter. In a matter of minutes, he got his Apple devices digitally wiped clean by attacker and found his Twitter account was sending tweets that he did not write.
Mat Honan got hammered extra hard by the fact that he did not create backups of his Apple devices. While all of us are reminded to make more frequent backup of our devices, I find something very unsettling about the whole incidence.
