Adam Kos Remember those nude celebrity cases where someone hacked into their iCloud and stole their photos? A lot of water has leaked since 2014, but even then it wasn't Apple's problem, but rather the chosen slogan of a given personality who underestimated its power. iCloud itself is otherwise secure and encrypted with state-of-the-art technology.
iCloud follows strict rules to protect your information, and itself Apple says about him, that it is a pioneer in implementing secure privacy technologies, such as end-to-end data encryption. It therefore secures your information by encrypting it during transmission and storing it in an encrypted format on iCloud. It simply means that only you can access your information, and only on trusted devices where you're signed in with your Apple ID.

End-to-end encryption
This technology represents the highest level of data security. The ones you have in iCloud that are associated with your Apple ID are protected on each of your devices using a key that is derived from information unique to that device, combined with a device passcode that only you know. Information encrypted between endpoints cannot be accessed by anyone else. It is important to mention here that neither Apple nor various government agencies.

But it is important that you use it two-factor authentication they had a passcode set up for their Apple ID and of course on their devices. As the security itself improves, Apple also guarantees that its most modern elements are present from iOS 13, if we are talking specifically about iPhones. If you're using an older device, you may already be at risk.

Data types and their encryption
iCloud.com encrypts data in transit, and all sessions on iCloud.com are encrypted with TLS 1.2. At least 128-bit AES encryption is then applied during transmission and on the server in the case of backing up devices and applications such as: Mail, Calendar, Contacts, iClud Drive, Notes, Photos, Reminders, Siri Shortcuts, Dictaphone, but also Safari Bookmarks or Tickets in Wallet. Between the endpoints, health data, data from the Home application, Keychain, Messages on iCloud, Payment data, Screen time, Wi-Fi passwords, but also Bluetooth keys for the W1 and H1 chips, history in Safari, as well as panel groups and iCloud panels.
Turn on two-factor authentication
So if you ask if iCloud is really secure, the answer is yes. As already mentioned, it is advisable to help him a little with the security. So use a different strong password for every login on the web and in apps, and be sure to turn on two-factor authentication as well.
