Apple Allowed Hackers Access To User's iCloud Account

Is your iCloud account secured by a good password? That’s not going to help you if Apple sidesteps your security and hands hackers access to your account.
Yesterday I posted Mat Honan’s tale of woe. Hackers got into his iCloud account and used that to remote wipe his iPhone, iPad and MacBook before going on to create more mayhem. At the time it was assumed that the hackers had used bruteforcing – trying passwords until they got lucky — but it turns out that Apple gave the hackers access to his iCloud account.

I think this was already posted, or something similar.
Never mind, I think I just read it on gizmodo earlier, but don't see it currently listed here other than this post.

A friends account racked up $2000 yesterday from someone hacking. Apple's security is useless.
