iCloud Backups, Synced Data and End-to-End Encryption
Initially, iCloud backups were similar in content to local (iTunes) backups without the password. However, the introduction of iCloud sync has changed the rules of the game. With more types of data synchronized through iCloud as opposed to being backed up, the content of iCloud backups gets slimmed down as synchronized information is excluded from cloud backups, though still present in local backups.
Two-factor authentication (or lack thereof) affects what can and what cannot be synchronized. Sounds confusing? Let’s shed some light on the types of data that might be available in iCloud backups and how they are affected by the optional data sync.

iCloud Extraction Streamlined
Apple iCloud contains massive amounts of data, which may become highly valuable evidence. The oldest and most frequently mentioned are iCloud backups, which ElcomSoft were the first to extract back in 2012. A lot has changed since then. Today, iCloud backups account for a very minor part of the evidence available in iCloud. Learn what types of data are stored in iCloud, how Apple protects the data with end-to-end encryption, and how to access that valuable evidence with the updated Elcomsoft Phone Breaker.
