Wow this thread is the stuff of legends. Every know it all on both sides is posting and beating their chests and its beyond comical. Here's the only FACTS of the case (anyone claiming to know otherwise is clueless)
1) celebrities were hacked
2) it may or may not have been through icloud
That's it. People need to stop as if they've solved the mystery when the FBI themselves are still investigating. Now to address some of the other crap in this thread:
1) NO, it is not the victim's fault. I can't believe people are even suggesting that. These pictures are private and if apple (or any cloud service provider: was brute forced, it is their fault 100%. It boggles my mind that brute forcing is even a viable option anymore. Too many ways to prevent such a thing
2) sorry, people kirsten dunst posting "thanks icloud" with an emoji of pizza and a turd with a sad face is not proof that it is Apples fault. This thread is fodder for every troll that posts here and they're talking full advantage of it. While it is seeming more and more likely that apples poor security is involved, kirsten dunsts tweet should not be offered up as proof nor is she sure how she got hacked either. I understand you guys want to jump at every opportunity to bash apple, because that's what you do, but at least try harder to present a coherent argument.
3) If it's not just icloud that was hacked I expect all you apple bashers to be posting about how poorly the other sites were secured too. Won't hold my breath because that's not part of your agenda.
Seriously, I don't know what's worse, the people blaming the victim's or the people jumping up and down screaming take that apple with zero evidence that it was (or was only) apple that was compromised.
