Strong passwords are irrelevant! Any password can be cracked, and the strongest passwords are not something that normal humans can remember and therefor need documentation making them vulnerable.
The number of times you change your password is irrelevant, break it once, if the person changes it, just do it again.
The problem here is the "cloud". People, and yes many in IT as well, do not understand that using cloud services does not mean that your data, or your companies data, is private. It gets copied to several servers. These servers have admins that likely can see your data in order to do their jobs. If your company does it expect employees to follow suit.
When you use a cloud service you basically put your information/pictures/videos in the hands of somebody else. The blame here is not on celebs, or the hackers, or even Apple. It's on the tech industry for selling and promoting an inherently insecure infrastructure. It is nice having all of your picture on all of your devices, but don't tell people that it's private or secure.
As I tell my clients, Don't put anything in the cloud that you would not want posted on a billboard along an expressway.
