iCloud will allow you to store content through the cloud infrastructure, meaning you won’t need to use up as much space on your PC or Mac and more importantly, you won’t have to hurriedly sync in the morning before leaving for work. iCloud will make sure all of your devices are in perfect harmony with each other. If you download content on one device, iCloud will automatically slip it through to the other; so if you add content such as contacts, calendars, bookmarks, reminders, notes, or to-do lists to your iPhone, iCloud will make sure, if you decide to use your iPad, Mac, or iPod touch, that you won’t miss a thing. ...

We have taken steps to mitigate the activity. ...
