介绍:
A recent iCloud hacking incident that resulted in the leaking of nude photos of celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton has served as a stark reminder of the issues of privacy on the internet.
On Sunday, an anonymous user on a website called 4chan posted hundreds of nude pictures of some of the most well known female celebrities which caused representatives and some of the actresses themselves to flock to their defense. While some of the images have been determined to be fake, a few others such as that of Jennifer Lawrence have been confirmed as genuine.
Many iCloud users concerned about the safety of their personal information are questioning the reliability of the service's security.
The FBI are currently leading the investigation to track down the hacker responsible.

I am encouraged to know that the FBI have so little to do that they can spare the man power to launch a huge investigation to find a hacker who accessed some photos a stupid bimbo was dumb enough to keep on her cloud storage.

These young ladies make their living by displaying themselves in public. Many of them do this well and many are very rich. They all have one thing in common. Everyone of them employs an agent, or even several agents to promote them in every way imaginable. These agents will all have plans to exploit the release of nude pics to make lots of money for themselves and their clients. Blanket coverage is a gold mine.

It is like a crime of theft but one has to realize if it exists,someone may try to steal it. In this case it's like don't write something down if you don't want it to be known by everyone. I know we have the freedom but if someone doesn't want this kind of stuff to go public it's best they don't take naked pictures of themselves.
Notes:
- Lawrence's publicist has called the the leaked photographs a "flagrant violation of privacy"
- In late 2010 the FBI launched "Operation Hackerazzi" to hunt down a hacker who stole naked pictures from the iphones and computers of Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis and other celebs
- Apple launched icloud in 2011 to wirelessly back up its users data. When activated, information such as photos, emails apps and contacts from iphones and ipads is automatically stored in the system
- iCloud is accessible from any internet connected device via the owner's Apple ID.
- a lawyer for Kate Upton has announced she will join Jennifer Lawrence in pursuing legal action "to the fullest extent possible" for anyone disseminating or duplicating the illegally obtained images.

I can't believe what I'm reading! So you are basically saying that because Jennifer Lawrence is paid $20 million for a movie she no longer has any rights whatsoever to privacy? That it's perfectly okay for drooling troglodytes to steal highly personal data from her and share it online because she makes more money than most people do? We are ALL entitled to privacy no matter how much we earn or how we earn it.

I don't think it matters whether it's a crime or not, she still feels violated. I don't find it that difficult to empathise with the actress on this issue.

Those who view the photos, knowing they were stolen are receivers of stolen goods. They are criminals.
