Dear ZZZZZZ,

Thank you for using two-step verification to protect your Apple ID. This email provides information about recent updates to your service.
Two-step verification now protects iCloud
Starting today, in addition to protecting your Apple ID account information, two-step verification also protects all of the data you store and keep up to date with iCloud. For more information, read the Two-Step Verification FAQ.
Sign in securely with app-specific passwords
If you use iCloud with any third party apps such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird or BusyCal, you can now create app-specific passwords that let you sign in securely even if the app you are using does not support two-step verification.
To generate an app-specific password:

Sign in to My Apple ID (https://appleid.apple.com)
Go to Password & Security
Click Generate App-Specific Password

App-specific passwords will be required starting on 1 October 2014.
For complete instructions and answers to common questions, read Using App‑Specific Passwords. If you need additional help, visit Apple Support.
Sincerely,

Will this stop all access to backups using that "forensic" tool?

Found the OneDrive two-step verification to be OK, except the other day when I logged into a 2nd OneDrive account I have to check something.

Doing this kicked me out of my primary account on OneDrive, Skype and Xbox on 2 Iphone, 3 Ipads and the XboxOne so had to enter all the two-step verification again

It'll stop being able to access the backup without an authorised device, so for the celeb hacking situation, that's as good as a yes

The forensic tool will still be able to rip the contents of a backup if you have access to a backup file though.

Happened again!

I'm assuming this isn't a new "hack" and is just the leaking of more pictures already obtained?

The original posts had a list of 100 people who they had info on , they only released a very small amount of that the first time round this looks to just be another group of images / videos taken at the same time.

Said 4Chan pulled them quickly don't think they want the hassle as the FBI is still involved in the first lot

4Chan did, but they're still widely available to anyone with access to Google
