In what amounts to a “don’t blame us” statement, Apple appears to be trying to shake off any culpability it might have in this weekend’s massive posting of hundreds of stolen photos of a female celebrities in various states of undress (Again — no, we’re not linking to them). The company is saying there was no data breach on iCloud or Find My iPhone… but only in the sense that not everyone’s photos were stolen.

Bingo, we have a winner
Never Ever believe anything that comes from Hollywood, more times than not the person in question RELEASED them themselves or had somebody do it for them and then claim they are a victim, we call it FREE PUBLICITY.
Apple requires a very complex password. Must have been a helluva brute force attack.
userid: Jenlawrence
password: password
secret word: moviestar
That oughta work.
Maybe, if it was one or two actresses, but we are talking about dozens that were affected.
“Apple: Stolen Celeb Nudes Were Result Of Good Guessing, Not Data Breach”
Yeah ok, Apple.
Let’s just see how many iSheep on FR totally buy this one.
Bwahahahahah if Microsoft made a statement like that Applebots would have a field day...
Doesn’t change my position at all, even if true which I highly doubt, Live by the Photo op, Die by the Photo op.
Why anybody would give a damn about a bunch of whiny hypocrite jesters is beyond me.
Go over to Reddit or Imgur. Plenty of threads on this subject. You WILL run into nudes there, so caveat emptor.
LOL! Thank goodness there were no photos of him.
I have a really good way to encrypt my data. I put anything that is confidential in a file called “Naked Pictures of Self.” Anyone who knows me stays as far away as possible from that file. I don’t even need to password protect it.
I gotta say... Jennifer has a beautiful body... she has body fat where it ought to be on a woman... it's one of those things I appreciate. Thank you, God!
I don’t get why they hacked JLaw’s pictures. Who wants to see Jude Law naked? Not me!
“That, if true, is a very bad flaw in a system....”
Yes, agreed that is very bad.
10 is way to few. A hacker is not going to “brute force” a password with 100 tries.
I never take nude pictures of myself and if I did, no sane person would want to see them.
If I did, I wouldn’t put them in a “cloud” whatever that might be. Sounds unsafe to me, storing your stuff with a million others. What could go wrong? NSA? Wouldn’t think any of these hero’s would make a dime on the side, would you?
I store stuff on a thumbnail that I don’t want other people to know about, and leave little on my harddrive.
However, bear in mind, I am stupid.
I need to change the password on my luggage.
ISheep believing IS*it is not new.
I might have gotten into a few things over the years by “good guessing”(that’s a nice way of saying they were idiots and had easy as hell passwords).
I might have gotten to the network of a law firm one time by just looking at their sign in the parking lot. Probed their network, found their server, and their administrative accounts had the SAME password as their WLAN key!!!! ROFL. That was almost scary.
Well... it would have been scary had it really happened. I was actually just dreaming about the whole thing.... (cough)
