Specifically, the hack user a vulnerability in iTunes for Windows that verifies security certificates. And all you have to do is plug the device to a PC, alter a file, and direct it to a server rather than iCloud.

Mark Loman, a security researches, says the bug in the iTunes Windows version was a beginner’s mistake, or was left intentionally to enable intelligence agencies for accessing iCloud. Apple fixed a similar vulnerability recently in iOS and OS X.

Here is how the Team doulCi membeers Merruk Technolog and AquaXetine describe the attack:

doulCi is the worlds first Alternative iCloud Server, and the world’s first iCloud Activation Bypass. doulCi will bypass and activate you iDevice for you when you are stuck at the Apple activation menu. So, why would you use it?
