useless Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Yeah seems pretty careless, but regardless it's still a pretty shitty thing to do. Edit: 'pretty shitty' doesn't really do it justice. Edited September 1, 2014 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted September 1, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2014 One of them's the girl from Breaking Bad who choked on her sick. Feel really bad for them, hope they catch people responsible. I sort of agree because IMO hackers who steal personal data/financial information/private stuff are total words removed....however if you leave your house unlocked and someone steals the contents..... you do IMO share some of the blame because you have failed to protect yourself properly. If the rumours about it all being stolen from iCloud are true, it's ridiculous to blame the victims. People who take an interest in this sort of thing have probably seen enough vulnerabilities over the years to know better than trusting online storage for sensitive data, but that's not how these services are sold to the general public, they're advertised as being secure, if this is how the images were obtained it's a failing of the company, not their customers. Combined with iDevices seeming to default to the setting of uploading all photos, and retaining them even when the user deletes them from their device, it's a system failure, not a user failure. Hopefully this will be high-profile enough to drive the point home to the general public that they shouldn't trust all of their data to the big tech firms. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree with that. The person who did it didn't know these images/videos were on those phones. He hacked them and found gold. He's essentially just a common thief. It's a shame and I do feel for the people involved. Who knew some of the worlds most attractive women had a libido and were normal people? Not their fault, but I'll be damned if I'm not gonna fill my boots to it. I think the future for this type of thing is short though, no ones going to take the risk any more.

Hopefully this will be high-profile enough to drive the point home to the general public that they shouldn't trust all of their data to the big tech firms. Again I'll return to the house analogy. If your house is burgled because you are too ignorant,dim,unaware to operate the alarm system you bear some responsibilty for the fact your stuff gets nicked. The thief is 100% culpable but this is no way is a "system failure" on the part of the alarm company - nor is it a failure on the part of Apple. These aren't "normal" individuals who I would have a lot more sympathy with. These are high profile, celebrities whose personal life, habits and peculiarites are of interest to fans, hackers and perverts alike. They (or the people they pay to manage them) should be 100% aware of auto cloud back ups and the consequences of not storing data properly. Its part of basic existance in the 21st century. Default position: The hacker is ALWAYS in the wrong, but if you don't protect yourself and make it easy to get hacked, you too are partly to blame.

tonyh29 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If it's iCloud then surely there will be a hefty legal claim heading in their direction? Nothing can help me overcome this humiliation , however $20m might help .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 There have been people kill themselves after having this kind of thing happen to them. That might not happen with celebrities but it can do a lot of psychological damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Some of these people are very wealthy. But they're not "sue one of the biggest companies in the world, in what will be a protracted multi-year legal battle" wealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Most of them are Z listers who stand to make a lot of money from this if they play it right. I don't have any sympathy at all, I quite like it when bad things happen to celebrities, it's hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The partners of these ladies are lucky buggers. If I tried to get my mrs to take some saucy snaps and send to me, the best I'd get would be a picture of the ketchup bottle in the fridge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
