Reported iCloud Hack Leaks Hundreds of Private Celebrity Photos

swinferno writes with news about the leak of hundreds of private celebrity photos over the weekend. Hundreds of revealing pictures of female celebrities were leaked overnight after being stolen from their private collections. Hunger Games actress Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst, and pop star Ariana Grande were among the celebrities apparently shown in the pictures, which were posted on infamous web forum 4chan. It's unclear how the images were obtained, but anonymous 4chan users said that they were taken from celebrities' iCloud accounts. The accounts are designed to allow iPhone, iPad, and Mac users to synchronize images, settings, calendar information, and other data between devices, but the service has been criticized for being unreliable and confusing. Earlier this year, Jennifer Lawrence herself complained about the service in an interview with MTV.

There are no buts man. up until you did the old victim blaming thing I had respect for your opinion. Once you did the blame the victim rant IMO you are no better then the people who stole the images. Should we stop driving cars because of the way other drive that's what your saying. Should we stop going outside for fear of getting mugged that's what your saying. Don't go outside don't live don't depend on others stay inside and maybe be more safe because well your putting your life at risk when you use a stove or the home heater might go bad or the roof might fall in blaming the victim is what cowards do IMEO
