I sympathize with the writer, but have to ask, what solution would make it possible to resolve this situation without weakening the security for another case that sounds the same but is being used by someone malicious?
I think you have to activate the Apple 2-factor authentication so that your key Apple ID info cannot be changed without corroboration or that 28 character code.
If Apple were to let this situation be reversed, who is to say a hacker wouldn't be using this exploit to take over someone else's account?
- hattmall 4y agoIf an icloud account becomes in dispute then it should be locked, generally. The problem isn't the technology it's the lack of actual tech support. There should be a reasonable way to speak to someone that can validate the account in someway. Similar to credit reports. Show an ID, answer questions about the account, like previous devices, when it was created. Provide pictures etc of the people in the pictures in the account. The problem boils down to one of the most profitable companies in the world becoming that way by cheaping out on support for their users.
- kepler1 4y agoThere is not a single tech company out there that wishes to get into the business of checking people's physical IDs or wanting to invite use of IDs (or making judgements about such authenticity) to manage their accounts. How would this work? You provide a certain number of photos to corroborate who you are? How would that not be vulnerable to hacking as well?
