Microsoft didn't make iCloud for Windows, Apple did. You have no one else to blame but Apple.
That is what you get when you, "Cross the streams!"
Of course everybody going to buy Mac to solve Apple security issue. 🤣Guess you need to buy Apple's hardware
A start page with various customizable widgets strongly reminds me of iGoogle and other 2000era webmail interfaces.
It’s too early to simply jump to conclusions based on some anecdotal experiences. Investigation is warranted but keeping a clear head is also warranted. Considering how many years iCloud Photos has been around and how this has only seemingly just became an issue bears some review.
as someone who has not so tech savvy parents and i know they have taken photos of some important documents and also own window computers, this is kinda scary lol
Happened to me a few months back, was a PITA cleaning up 1000+ random photos from someone else mixed in with mine…. Some elderly man and his family, and also some occasional photos of women he probably liked… Fortunately hasn’t happened again. This was before the new iCloud for Windows update….

Well not everyone, just those who have PCs
Shocker. Somebody explain to me how this is supposedly better than using a cable and why iPhones should go portless again? It’s so “old fashioned” to take 1 second to plug something in?
That would be Maps randomly changing your route to someone else's while you're driving. Sadly, I could see that happening.
This is a feature called Apple Random Stranger Pictures +. It's just a little treat to all the loyal Apple fans, a little surprise for you when you open your photos.
Haha it‘s gonna be THE FAPPENING 2.0 if some celebrity nudes get leaked. What a time to be alive.
One time someone else's credit card info showed up in my Apple Store account. I called in to support and even top tier support didn't know what to say ummmmmm ummmmm.
If it’s a server-side issue, it would also affect Mac, iOS, iPadOS, AppleTV users.
If not, there has to be something else causing this… A Proxy/cache server from an ISP or from Apple themselves?

Introducing Dynamic iCloud for Windows, with all-new Indifferential Privacy. You won’t believe your eyes!
To this day whenever there’s an issue with windows I hear Bertrand Serlet say “it’s still windows”.
Privacy…that’s iPhone.
I can imagine if someone has enough information saved in their pictures to access sensitive accounts like crypto wallets.
Apple better move on this one, fast.

These are exactly the loopholes (built-in backdoors) government entities use to access your private files on iCloud. Snowden warned you all.
That's why everyone should wear a foil hat while using their phone
So much for Apples security and privacy. Apples buggy code strikes again.
