Here’s what happened:
At 4:50 PM, someone got into my iCloud account, reset the password and sent the confirmation message about the reset to the trash.

In a blog post, Honan claimed his iCloud account was hijacked, and his laptop, iPhone, and iPad remotely wiped. He linked his Twitter account to Gizmodo's some time ago, so the hackers were able to access both.
Clan Vv3 has taken over a number of fairly prominent Twitter accounts in recent months, including those of NBC sitcom star Whitney Cummings and former WWE wrestler Booker T.
In a coincidental twist, the last tweet posted by Gizmodo before the hack was a link to a story titled “How To Defeat Your Enemies on the Internet.”
