So maybe time to revisit this -
Is the recent celeb leak indicative that e.g.
- Celeb iPHone does local iTunes encrypted backups occassionally, but usually does iCloud backups.
- Hacker gets celeb account details.
- Hacker downloads old iCloud backup (as file/onto an iPhone)
- Hacker gets old photos, videos, messages etc?
The data whilst stored in iCloud might be encrypted on server, and delivered/received through secure encryption - if you download an iCloud backup - the backup itself isn't encrypted?

If the hacker did it this way, do they really have
Calendars
Contacts
Bookmarks
Reminders
Photos
Documents in the Cloud
Backup (?)
Find My iPhone
Find My Friends
iCloud Keychain
Mail and Notes
Seems like lack of 2FA /the need for an additional password just like doing encrypted iTunes backups?
Naked photos are just one part of it if that's the case - that's a huge intrusion of privacy. Wonder if Apple log IP for request for iCloud backup downloads?
