Gone But Not Forgotten
Surprised this hasn't been mentioned, what do people think of this, apart from obviously showing how **** Apple security is.
Apple has confirmed that some celebrities' iCloud accounts were broken into, but says it has found no evidence that this was caused by a breach of its security systems.
Instead, the firm suggests perpetrators carried out their thefts by deducing victims' log-in credentials.
Sounds like little more than logging into a wordpress site with 'admin' and then getting some blast bot to throw the dictionary at it after you've exhausted a few of the obvious names
C'mon, DO.
A photo, unless you share it freely, is private property - the nature of the photo is none of our business, unless it is related to a crime; at which point it becomes evidence.
This is pure and simple theft, and it's not really on to suggest they had it coming to them.
Awwwww diddums
There are only two reasons why they could be upset.
1) They didn't get paid for what they already do.
2) Their utter stupidity has been thoroughly exposed. Who stores super secret pictures in a public space called a "cloud"???
If anything, these vapid attention whores should be flattered and grateful that a legion of basement dwelling neckbeards have decided endorse and validate their bodies by spilling some of their finite spunk with them in mind.
Yeah, I meant public in the way that a bank is public - i.e not keeping valuables under your mattress/on a USB stick... I understand that image hosting sites would be deemed public in that sense...
Credit due to those "celebs" who are taking it in a light hearted slightly-red-in-the-face manner but I have no real sympathy either way.
I suppose it might be a generational thing because I would never dream of letting personal nudies slip anywhere I wasn't 110% assured of their discretion. These days, the kids essentially live their lives and bare their souls for literally all to see on twitter, facebook etc. It's almost a second nature to them which makes me worry for future generations.
