An Apple fan who has spent “nearly 30 years as a loyal customer” says they’ve been “permanently” locked out of their Apple Account due to what might be the overzealous actions of Apple’s automated anti-fraud system.

Personally I don’t think the tradeoff is worth while. I put nothing remotely personal on other peoples computers. I’d rather lose everything. But it is not actually that big a problem, my brother has a backup that I update once a month in his safe in his house, and I have his. Should be good enough.
