Following the massive iCloud hacking scandal which led to nude images of actress Jennifer Lawrence and model Kate Upton, among others, being leaked to the internet, it’s good to remind ourselves that no one is safe from these cyber threats, but how do you protect yourself?

One of the biggest access points into our personal photos is through iCloud, which is where all your stuff could be being stored, even though you may not know.

What iPhone owners might not realize is that they may have already told Apple to back up all of your photos on its iCloud servers. It’s easy enough to enable the “My Photo Stream” feature — then forget that it’s running in the background, uploading every picture you take.

So what’s the solution?

Disable Photo Stream: open the Settings app on your device, then tap “iCloud.” Tap “Photos” (or “Photo Stream” in iOS 6), then manually switch off the Photo Stream feature.

Secure you iCloud password: to change your password, visit My AppleID. Click “Manage your Apple ID” > “Password and Security” > “Change Password.”

Turn on two-factor authentication: to set this up, visit My AppleID. Click “Manage your Apple ID” > “Password and Security” > “Two-Step Verification” to begin the process.

Now these tips are obviously not full-proof to hacking, but are the best you can do to ensure the security and privacy of your mobile device and online content.
