\"iCloud\"We speak often at the Rocket Yard about protecting your digital data<\/a>. But there are times that your physical devices also need protected whether it\u2019s in the case of fire, water damage or in the author of a recent Hackernoon post’s<\/a>\u00a0case \u2013 theft.<\/p>\n

Joonas Kiminki recently wrote of his experience of having his iPhone stolen while on vacation in Italy. \"FindMyiPhone\"Kiminki did something simple that any of us might easily do \u2013 he left his iPhone in his rental car. It was an innocent thing to do, but it created big problems down the road.<\/p>\n

Kiminki goes on to write about\u00a0how he became a target of a rather sophisticated scam from the thief of the iPhone, who went to great lengths in an attempt to get Kiminki\u2019s password and other data.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the equally savvy author was able to pinpoint minor details in the phony email and iCloud login\u00a0that led him to thwart the thief\u2019s effort. However, the article points out exactly how easy it is to become a victim of such efforts, even for \u201cprofessionals\u201d.<\/p>\n

The author notes that victims of a recent physical iPhone theft should be on high alert for identity theft efforts in the following weeks and even months \u2013 something the Kiminki says that Apple should<\/i> make clear to victims.<\/p>\n
