Apple, FBI: YES we're, er, looking into the NAKED CELEBRITY PICS. Aren't you?

Problem with the iCloud theory

OK, so assume you've brute forced the targets username and password, log into iCloud.com and... there's no access to the photo stream or device filesystems.

No problem!, just set up one of your devices to sync with their account details, and voila! a flurry of modal alerts are sent to every device attached to your targets account warning them that a new device has just signed in to their account. All these celebs ignored those alerts?

titillation.

I love the way the media have gone for the titillating aspect of this (ie 'slebs showing tits) and largely ignored the more serious aspect of the story. Namely that using Find My iPhone, the hackers could easily have located the 'slebs and done things to them, maybe even killed them.

We don;t speak to the NSA we just make their work easier

Unlimited password retries ?

WTF Apple, that is insane if true. You can't even blame stupid users if the system has, in today's world a wide open door.

'Apple does not limit the number of password entry attempts users could can make when attempting to access their iCloud accounts'

Well that's a red rag to a bull then.

And this is a technological innovation company!

Heads should roll for this embarrassing episode.

So given that the problem was with the find my iPhone web service, does this finally explain what happened several months ago when numerous Austrialians woke up to find their iDevices had been remotely wiped overnight?

Dont feel sorry they WANT this.

Seriously, what normal person takes naked pictures of themselves anyway? let alone puts them on a network storage service, even if it is meant to be private.

There's only one reason celebs are taking naked pictrures of themselves and putting it where it is likely to get hacked... its because there is no such thing as bad publicity, especially when backed up with fake moral outrage.

Newsflash people: They WANT the pics to get hacked and the media and the more lame-brained amongst us keep feeding right into it.

One has to wonder....

if there's no such thing as bad publicity, perhaps these celebs use a non-effective password intentionally. The idea being, their account will be broken into, the pictures grabbed and published. They can then scream "don't look at those"... and everyone will go look at them. Or maybe not but something just smells bad about this whole thing whether it's intentional, a PR ploiy that ran amok, or absolutely rotten iCloud security.

I felt good when I had a NAS. I liked it so much I bought another and now I have two. Imagine how good I feel now?

What's iCloud?

I'm 95% certain these celebutards wanted their nudies leaked in order to get their Q Rating up, because in Hollywood, "All publicity is good publicity". They don't have any problem appearing nude before a camera with two dozen grips and lighting technicians staring. Tell me you've never heard of the casting couch where "stars" (lol) have to sleep with old men who run the studios and then - Voila! - she's the star of a movie.

What's the difference between Hollywood and the porn industry down the street? Not a whole lot.

The FBI and the Secret Service (not the drunk johns) can determine the IP Adress in a matter of a few hours. So unless someone is arrested today and ends up doing hard time, this is all a big publicity stunt concocted by attention hungry "starlets" who want to get on the front page. It's all bs.

I went I saw

I visited those links to view the pics but not as for porn purposes.

I went to rate them in the mere fact on how valid/fake they were.

I would say that 95% of the pictures there are all real.

Sadly the one with the girl showing off her bum looks more like a medical condition.

She should get that looked at. Seriously!!
