The hack led to the online distribution of nude photos and videos of the High School Musical star. The 22-year-old is among 50 celebrities that have fallen victim to a gang of hackers targeting titillating …

Is it everyone?
I don't know about you guys, but I don't have any nude or compromising photos of myself... Seems that any time a celeb phone or email account gets hacked there's dodgy stuff on it.
If you don't want the photos getting out, don't take them? Or at least store them on an encrypted drive, not on gmail (don't get me wrong, I love my gmail account, but it's already being trawled to serve up ads, and how much do you trust the staff at google?).
This news is worthless without pictures....
Hopefully Scarlet was using the iPhone4 camera for her nuddie shots :-)

Pics, or it didn't happen.
Research purposes only, of course.

Use the internet much?

I'VE GOT A GOOD IDEA
I'm famous - let's store compromising photos, and videos, in a public e-mail service. I think that would be really cool.
Nah, you underestimate the intelligence of teenagers by some way
Teens simply have no concept of what t'Internet is. They think it's safe. Despite many, many warnings my teenage children still say/do/post stupid things on the Internet. I constantly have to remind them that anything they say do/say/post is effectively in the public domain.
Unfortunately they believe Zuckerberg and his chums that "we'll help you keep your stuff safe" a lot more than they believe me saying "Internet==not private."

You seem to have misspelt "masturbation."

...because I can only upvote that once without creating a load of sockpuppet accounts, which I can be arsed to do (not even on a Friday).
New film out, has she?
Why yes, yes she has. What an extraordinary coincidink.
Vanessa who?
I don't think I've heard of her since the last photo shoot ...
Spelling Nazi here
It's not 'coincidink', it is koinkidink.
If yer gonna eff it up do it right.
thanks
Sounds like...
An ongoing publicity stunt to me.
Either that or they are complete idiots. Whilst that doesn't condone what the hackers have done you'd have thought that if privacy was a major concern, that not keeping nude shots of yourself on or within your phone or Google mail account would have been a better idea.
@I'VE GOT A GOOD IDEA
Nearly - It's more like:
"I'm not really famous but if I get some nuddie pictures of me released I might get to be Paris Hilton, or at least be mentioned on el' reg"
ps. Do you think it would boost my fame in the C++ community if some nude photos of me got leaked from my PC? Is there a big market for middle aged, slightly chubby, programmer porn?
Rule 34 of the Internet.
Re: your PS: There is sure to be a market. A big market? maybe not.
FBI
If my account gets hacked can I involved the FBI? Can I have a meeting with FBI agents too?
@BarryBob
If meets the criteria yes . How do you know that the FBI only does this for celbs. Stop and think about it . Is it that the FBI only does it for celbs or that the news media only reports about celbs.
Here is a hint I know some that had their e-mail hacked and the feds did get involved. It was one of the nastiest divorce/custody cases you could think of . Actually his email being hacked and the feds getting involved help him out alot .
Of course you can
You will need to grow up a bit first though.
That's how this fucked-up world works I'm afraid
One law for us, and another for them.
Great entertainment, they deserve it!
Best part of the article:
"various pop tarts, including Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake"
And the reference to incompetent Sophos as always is hilarious.
Well.
It's a pretty big deal if someone fucks with your mail, so it should be the same for email. Good job.
Though I still doubt the FBI would care if it happened to me, and I'm also curious as to how often the FBI reads people's email without asking...
Got a new film out?
I hope the young lady doesn't get into trouble for wasting police/fbi time
Of course I only just realised that Lady Gaga was a women - i thought it was the same person that does Lilly Savage
Top tip
I keep all the nude photos of myself off line.
Never had a problem.
Perhaps "internet" is a bad name
It sounds like it's inside, or under control - no wonder kids get confused. Let's start a campaign to call it the publicnet, no one could get confused about what's on publicnet. As long as your monitor clearly displays the "l"....
To the cloud with my video editting!
Password..... oh yeah 12345

Better than the last bunch. maybe a reconstruction would help?
