Apple hardens FaceTime and iMessage security

Apple has taken steps to make it harder for hackers to gain access to FaceTime and iMessage by extending its optional two-step verification process to cover the services.

The addition means that even if a hacker has access to a user's username and password, they still won't be able to use the services on a new device because the user would be sent a 4-digit verification code to a selected device that would need to be used to authorize the new device.
