Clinton campaign chiefs iPhone was hacked and wiped, photos suggest

Unconfirmed evidence builds strong case that John Podesta’s Apple iCloud account was accessed and possibly erased by hackers less than 12 hours after his password was published on WikiLeaks. Clinton campaign officials have confirmed only the compromise of Podesta’s Twitter account after it was used to urge followers to vote for Donald Trump. The Clinton campaign has provided no explanation for how the Clinton campaign didn’t take steps to secure the mobile phones of its senior staff. Researchers can’t be certain how the iCloud and Twitter accounts were compromised, but several descriptions claim participants who saw the WikiLeaks post discovered that “Runner4567″ remained a working password and used it to illegally access Podesta’s iCloud account.”]
