The Next Web Reports that Apple is enforcing Security Question Requirements and also overall enhancing the security for its users' Apple ID accounts.
"In the past 24 hours, Apple appears to have started prompting iOS devices owners and those with Apple IDs within iTunes to make their accounts more secure, requiring them to pick three security questions and enter their answers when they download a new app.
The company is also asking users to enter a backup email address, in order to better protect their device but also their account (which is tied to Apple’s Retail website and all of its media services)."
iTunes has over 225 million accounts world wide which is a very popular target for phishing, brute force hacking and other methods. So Apple is enhancing to keep its users safe!
