The 3 best ways to protect your iCloud account

Hackers have obtained working iCloud passwords. Use these methods to make sure yours isn't at risk. If you use iCloud, do these steps to protect your information. Photo by CNET Despite a daily barrage of hacks, data breaches and malware attacks, millions of internet users still refuse to take some basic security precautions that could make their accounts nearly impervious -- and worry-free.
