Apple offers its own tips for securing your iPhone

Apple released a whole lot of information on how its security systems work -- and how its millions of users can use those tools to their advantage.

Apple is giving users more choice in controlling their privacy. For example, users now have the option to use the privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo, which promises not to track searches, instead of Google, Bing or Yahoo -- which all depend on tracking users' searches to survive. Beyond outlining Apple's own systems, the site also offers basic tips on how to protect your data even without turning on advanced tools, such as how to spot scam e-mails -- look out for messages that want personal information! -- and how to pick tricky security questions and answers to thwart would-be hackers.
