    OMG, when will people learn, do not take photos of yourself with your phones. Apples Icloud got hacked and bunch of photos that people do not want to be seen our out, Kate Upton, Jennifer Lawrence and more.

    When you take a picture with an Iphone it's automatic upload to the cloud, a group of nerds brute forced attacked it and got all the photos, they then sold them for Bit Coins to a website.

    Saw that this morning. I've never signed up for the cloud. I never really liked the idea of that cloud thing, but different strokes for different folks.

    I just assume that anything taken or input into a phone can be gotten to either by a hacker or the Govt

    It's being called "The Fappening", which might be the greatest name for anything ever.

    Apparently only 10% have been released.

    And the pics just confirm that Kate Upton is, indeed, fat.

    I agree, I also like the one where they go through connecting all sorts of things to prove that its really that person.

    Yeah I found the story about how the pics got released much more interesting than the pics themselves

    You guys have nothing to worry about. Nobody wants to see, let alone pay for any pictures of you. :jaw:

    Starting to sound like the cloud was not hacked it was username and passwords, seems like the celebs will have no case to sue apple. I am sure they will think this is a great injustice
