In the last 24 hours a number of female actors have fallen victim to a headline we've saw associated to a lot of characters in recent years. Only this time its perhaps one of the largest hacks of private information we've seen. The route of the hack is to be believed a python script that enabled whats known as a "brute force" hack on the iCloud and Drop Box accounts of the celebrities its affected. It essentially randomly goes through potential passwords in quick succession, and Apple's Find My iPhone service reportedly allowed an unlimited amount of guesses without the user coming into contact with robot detection software, something most [if not all] services have on them when logging into an account. But whilst the security of these services can be put into question, one has to look at the ignorance of the people using the services, as the direct result of this mass release of some rather racy and pornographic images of some of our favourite movie stars. Apple, Drop Box, all cloud computing services guide you through how your data is stored and what happens when you upload content to their drives once you've taken a photo or saved a document. In this case, it seems the hackers have taken images from various actors and personalties' iCloud Photo Steam, which mainly sources its images from the built-in camera app in iOS. The likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Victoria Justice, Kate Upton, they have all been the type of people who have tapped "accept" to everything because they can't be bothered to read through the guide, or because they have let their handlers set up their device. In an interview with MTV earlier this year, even Jennifer Lawrence herself criticised the way iCloud backs up data on the iPhone, saying: "My iCloud keeps telling me to back it [iPhone] up, and I'm like, I don't know how to back you up. Do it yourself." Her publicist, along with many others affected by the hack on Twitter then have the nerve to parade around saying "This is an invasion of privacy," "To the people looking at these photos, I hope you're happy with yourself." Yes it is an invasion of privacy, but you uploaded those images onto a public domain. Perhaps morally it doesn't give us the right to view them, but technically we have every right to view them in the same way we have every right to view the images on your Instagram or Facebook accounts. And by the way, saying the photos aren't of you when clearly they are, makes you look like even more of an idiot and reflects badly on your fan base. Frankly they would have been better not saying anything until they discussed the matter formally, but I guess that does allow more images to be leaked in the meantime. Bottom line, don't upload these type of images to the internet. We could go on about how hacking is bad and it should be stopped, but you have to remember these services are essentially in beta all the time. The people making these, are learning as they go along. They're going to be vulnerable to hacks, they're going to be unsecure in areas. If you don't want them to be out in the public domain, store them locally or as a hard copy. We've proved time and time again that the internet is like ink to paper. It's not rocket science.
