Today Apple confirms a new exploit against passwords was discovered which was affecting all users who haven't enabled the two-step verification on their Apple ID/iCloud account. The flaw appears fixed now. The steps to set it up are available here.

Apple is implementing a two-step process to login with Apple ID/iCloud accounts. The steps are:

1- You provided your Apple ID and password
2- Apple sends a verification code to one of your devices
3- You enter the code to confirm your identity to complete your login

"Initially, two-step verification is being offered in the U.S., UK, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. Additional countries will be added over time. When your country is added, two-step verification will automatically appear in the Password and Security section of Manage My Apple ID when you sign in to My Apple ID." [1]
