iCloud hacking tool claims to bypass Apple’s brute-force protections

From http://www.independent.co.uk/life-s...ool-allowing-access-to-any-login-9954303.html:

All iCloud accounts could be vulnerable to hacking by a new tool that claims it can break into any user’s login.

The tool claims to use an exploit to get through Apple’s security.

It uses a “dictionary attack” to get into accounts — a hack that involves automatically trying a number of passwords until the right one is found. Sites usually have locks in place to stop such an attack, by only allowing a certain number of tries of one password, but the tool claims to be able to bypass those.

So my naked selfies are not safe on iCloud?

How could anyone that uses iCloud not use two factor authentication, especially after all the fappening releases?? I am not too sure that tool could bypass the 5 attempts only rule set by the website. Either way, simply use 2FA and sleep well at night.
