Why is Google being sued for this? Why isnt Apple getting more heat?
The celebs do have their self to blame some what. You are naive if you put something on the internet thinking there is no chance of getting leaked.

Given that the reason people were able to gain access is because Apple didn't place a limited number of guess attempts on the passwords (a very basic security that should have been very easy for Apple to implement that is so ridiculously common even most free forums have it) thereby leaving a gaping whole in their security for anyone who can run a brute-force attack to gain easy access, saying they should have read the manual is naive.

I pay attention to the news? The last person to go to jail for a big white collar crime was Robert McDonnell if I remember right. So far only one guy has had to go to jail for the depression we had and that is because the guy was a dumbass and did not settle it out of court.

God, hahaha. This board still has the most frustrated and delusional user population I've ever seen. Hurr durr better get down to us normal people, we live in the dirt and you can't even see us from your shiny ivory tower and how dare you don't know about all the technical stuff almost no one except my nerd circle friends and me knows about. Fault's totally on you, person who I envy.
A crime is a crime is a crime.
Well if you stopped making it stink so much maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
And that's horseshit, like cloud storage sites put it in their TOS that they might be hacked. Or that you're some kind of idiot for using them even if they did.

You're connected to the internet right now, exposing your personal information should anyone extract it from your ISP. I guess you're some kind of moron who deserves whatever happens to you?

The sad thing is the icloud wasn't even hacked. Their passwords got 'guessed'. Likely their password was based on something personal which allowed it to be guessed within several thousand tries. There are random password generators... if I was going to put something online that I didn't want anyone to see I would (1) make sure the host's security is solid and it was and then (2) random 25 character password.
Thats because iphones are huge with people that don't know wtf they are doing. Or I guess its should be that is why it iphones are so popular with people that don't know what they're doing. Stuff like auto back up to the cloud is there to prevent some one from doing something stupid, losing all of their files, and then getting pissed off at the phone. (Not to say that there aren't tech savvy people with iphones because there are.)
And the service was and is secure. If they didn't know it was syncing their stuff, they don't really have a clue how to use their phone. Don't attempt to use something you in reality have no idea how to use and then complain that you didn't get the outcome you expected.

I think it's disgusting that stuff like this is only being seriously investigated due to various celebrities becoming the victim rather than the regular people out there who have been pushing for years for revenge porn to be eliminated for the sake of their welfare, career opportunities and mental health. I'm firmly opposed to the victim blaming going on throughout this thread though. Just because somebody is careless and makes a stupid mistake it does not mean that they deserve to have their reputation and careers potentially ruined.
Does that first part of the thread title means what I think it means?
And blaming people who obviously have been trying to hack that server for a while and not putting any onus on the people who actually took nude photos on their phones is stupid too. Sorry kids but you can't blame anyone exclusively. If you are stupid enough to allow private content to get uploaded onto a server share by millions and like every other server is victim to hacker attacks, you deserve to have your shit leaked out. Hackers shouldn't be doing those kinds of things but don't expect them to have morals.
Yeah, I think the moral of this story is "Don't take nudes of yourself." Especially if you are underage.
We can continue this further and say that if you allow your teenage child to use the computer unsupervised, especially if there's a webcam, or if you allow him or her to have a smartphone with a camera, then you're basically saying "go ahead, take pictures of your junk, I don't mind", and you're a bad parent.
