I don't know if this was the attack used in the hack, but it is really, really bad news for Apple. The public is not going to trust iCloud any more. I'm pretty sure Apple will drop iWallet from the keynote, or it'll end up like their maps.
You sure Apple won't also get rid of TouchID as well ?
Still, I expected better from Apple. Props for the fast patch.
It's sad that there aren't legal requirements for security hardening. There are massive corporations which retain sensitive information that are low hanging fruit for script kiddies.
Dictionary attacks are incredibly effective. Humans have a hard time coming up with unique passwords.
Does anyone else prefer to entirely avoid signing up for an Apple ID? I absolutely refuse to do so, and therefore use only software that doesn't require it. I suspect I'm not entirely alone out here on the sidelines...

It'd be nice if Windows/OSX/iOS/Android came with 1Password out of the box. It's both easier to use and more secure than manual passwords, which is a rare combination.
How is it ethical to distribute this without first disclosing to apple and waiting for a fix at least a few days?

Is it actually possible to use an iDevice without one?
