[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1788959, member: 83420"] Yes, in theory they could or might; but you would virtually have to have had your entire identity stolen first because they need absolute proof: That you are who you say you are - Passport, other ID cards, proof that you live at the address they have down as yours, proof of purchase and ownership of the Mac in question, being able to sign in to your iCloud account on another Mac i.e. knowing the agreed email address & password, answers to the three security questions you set up or, if 2FA is in place have the device with you etc and so forth! As our Admin, Nick, said - nothing is absolute and going this far and worrying about it seems to me like a health risk. I know everyone's different and I respect that; it's up to you. Ian [/QUOTE]
