Lucy Nicholson/Reuters At the end of this month Apple will start storing Chinese iCloud accounts in its new Chinese data centre. Human rights activists are concerned that Apple is also storing account keys there, which are needed to unlock iCloud accounts. The move will make it easier for the Chinese government to gain access to iCloud accounts. SAN FRANCISCO/BEIJING (Reuters) - When Apple Inc begins hosting Chinese users' iCloud accounts in a new Chinese data center at the end of this month to comply with new laws there, Chinese authorities will have far easier access to text messages, email and other data stored in the cloud. That’s because of a change to how the company handles the cryptographic keys needed to unlock an iCloud account.
