Apple tightens security in iCloud

Apple tightens security in iCloud



Apple improves the security of its data storage service iCloud. Previously CEO Tim Cook has vowed to improve the authentication system after a series of scandals related to the photo on the iCloud.

Since yesterday, the company has reactivated two-factor authentication system for iCloud. Recall that initially the system was launched in June, but soon after it has been disabled.

Since March 2013 Apple has implemented two-factor authentication for Apple ID, which improved security for iTunes and App Store.

We also recall that last week Apple announced lower prices for cloud storage service iCloud, as well as introduced a new tariff plan with a 1 terabyte of disk space. At the same time, the price decline was not as significant as many expected and as previously done in the face of rivals Google and Dropbox.

According to the updated price list of the company, now a cloud storage system iCloud provides 5 GB of space for free, 20GB for $ 1 per month, 200 GB for $ 4 per month, 500 GB for $ 10 and 1 terabyte for $ 20 a month.

Price changes on the eve of the launch of iCloud Drive, which will be integrated into the Mac OS X Yosemite and iOS 8. It allows you to work with iCloud directly from the Finder to the operating system. In addition, the system will allow Sharing files between users.
