this thing is getting out of control
 
Should probably make sure they turn off the iCloud stuff in their settings. First thing I did, not that I have anything worth while but I don't like the idea of stuff being automatically sent to the cloud.

that's actually a pretty nice sentiment. its a cool way if saying that she isnt alone.

like spartacus, with boobs.

on other hand, she might not like the publicity.

I suspect most of this is 4chan trying to start the trend, and not actual girls posting their boobs. But maybe I shouldn't be surprised if it actually takes off.
 
If you have photos that you really, really don't want to risk getting out putting them in the cloud is probably not the wisest idea.

Now thats my kind of protest

So far this has been people 'trolling' trying to get real people to start doing this unknowingly.

Like the 'cut yourself for bieber' thing
 
Seriously this is like the weirdest day ever. All of a sudden 1 (multiple?) people are releasing ALL of this? Not saying its some weird conspiracy or w/e, its just so weird.

That's...honestly pretty cool.

I think it's so refreshing that instead of being viewed as slutty celebrities, they're being viewed as normal people who are victims in this scenario.

android backs my photos up on google plus or something like that automatically. im guessing ios automatically back up photos the same way. i would find a way to turn it off if i felt like taking nudes but a lot of people might not even realize their phone is doing this.
 
On the one hand, I find this invasion of privacy is disgusting. But on the other, I just looked at the leaked pics like everyone else.

And the celebrities like Victoria Justice that claiming these are fake pictures are lying.
 
The leaks keep on coming. Just saw Kate Upton and that blondie form Big Bang Theory.

Oh internet.


Thank the gods...

I can't believe iCloud could be this vulnerable. It could be weak passwords but with SO MANY cases its strange.
 
I wonder how much the existence of bitcoin contributed to this. Like, these people were asking for donations and stuff, from what I saw. An anonymous currency scheme like bitcoin, allowing people to give them money without needing an address/email/etc. surely must have contributed to the fact that they leaked them.
 
Mary Elizabeth Winstead said her photos had been deleted, does iCloud retain photos but hide them from the user after deletion? If that is the case, then presumably someone did hack it, not just guess her password.

Those photos look like they were filtered through Instagram which she had to have DM'd to someone which in turn saved it on her phone/uploaded onto iCloud. Deleting it from her phone wouldn't make it gone from iCloud I think unless its resynced

EDIT: Actually that might not even matter. iCloud can be used to store backups of your entire phone. Those pics could have been in stored in an older backup and can easily be extracted from it.

uhhh


I guess im okay with this.
 
The list is long very long:

Aly and AJ Michalka, Aubrey Plaza, Abby Elliott, Avril Lavigne, Amber Heard, Brie Larson, Candice Swanepoel, Cara Delevigne, Emily Ratjakowski, Farrah Abraham, Gabrielle Union, Hayden Pannettiere, Hope Solo, Hillary Duff, Jenny McCarthy, Kayley Cuoco, Kate Upton, Kate Bosworth, Keke Palmer, Kim Kardashian, Kirsten Dunst, Krysten Ritter, Lea Michele, Lizzy Caplan, Mary Kate Olsen, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rihanna, Scarlet Johansson, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Wynona Ryder, Alison Brie and Dave Franco.

I'm not entirely sure why, but that solitary bloke's name at the end of that massive list of women celebs cracks me up. What was it about Dave Franco that he made the list?! :lol

(I have no idea who he is)

The overall message might be good but it's a 4chan false flag hashtag.

They pretty much just want to see more girls show their tits.

I doubt many people are thinking of them as sluts. I don't think they're damage control is about them being sluts either. It's most likely they saw us naked and shit this will damage my movie career image. It's not like celebrities are known for their modest approach to sex. : /

The boob pictures are probably a solidarity thing.

I think it's cause he's seeing Allison Brie and the photos leaked of her included him. He's James Franco's brother. Feel sorry for the women involved, they may be famous and used to increase exposure but a lot of this stuff is very personal, and clearly sent to a loved one.
 
The security of cloud-stored data is an important topic, but everything else... Why are people so obsessed with nude celebrities. Everytime an average looking person has her privacy violated by some leaked photos, which are usually completely unremarkable and boring, surprisingly many people go completely nuts over it.

Voyeurism.
 
I wonder if apple set iCloud password as iPassword?

But yeah, Apple is going to get raked over hot coal over this leak.

Dave Franco and Brie are (were?) a thing. The photo is them together.

Dave Franco is James Franco's less pot-fueled and Phd-less brother.
 
As a Miley Cyrus fan I have known about how all these celebrities have been hacked for months. Many people have access to these iclouds but don't leak much because of password changes and possible closure of iclouds completely.

This is just a couple guys that decided to say screw that and have started to leak things. I am sure the people who also had access to these celebrities accounts are very angry at them.

Miley's icloud was hacked and people were leaking info from it for a long time. Miley doesn't give a fuck about that tho. Like she has said "Don't try and deny anything because somewhere someone on the internet is going to have a picture"

something like that.
 
I guess I am in the dark as how apple is responsible. Where is it stated that your pics are safe from anyone else? Especially if you have a dopy password. The 2 factor thing is good but unless they require it or odd passwords 20 characters long with weird signs in them, they can't be responsible for the pics getting leaked right?

Also is there a way to prove they were leaked from apple and not intercepted from their computers remotely? This is such a clusterfuck I can't imagine apple being able to be sued by this. With all the cash they have I am sure the contract that is digitally signed to get things into the iCloud is so tight they have no room to stand for a lawsuit.

The TOS that you click okay would likely crumble to the ground if taken to court. Most company's don't want to get that far to test it.
