Apple CEO Tim Cook Meets with Top Chinese Official After iCloud Login Harvesting Claims
Apple CEO Tim Cook met with a top Chinese government official in Beijing Wednesday to discuss the security of user data,
reports Reuters. The meeting comes after web censorship blog
Great Fire claimed earlier this week that hackers worked with Chinese authorities to harvest Apple ID information from Chinese users visiting iCloud.com.
Yesterday, Apple
issued a statement acknowledging the attacks on its servers and launched a new
browser security guide on its website. The guide stressed the importance of digital certificates, asking users to check for any certificate warnings in their browser and ensure that they are connected to iCloud.com versus a malicious third-party website that resembles the service's homepage.
China has become an increasingly important market for Apple, as the company now has
eleven retail stores in the country and sells the iPhone on all three major wireless carriers. Apple also
launched the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in China last Friday following a week of successful pre-orders.
