iCloud leaks?



That was a hack, not them selling your info for the highest bidder.


Is password reuse and phishing hacking now? The software wasnt vulnerable the wetware was.


And also they didn't hack iCloud, they hacked the accounts of those users.


Which most likely means someone downloaded a leaked database of another website and logged in to icloud because everyone reuses passwords.


No, they were able to hack accounts by knowing personal details about celebrities and guessing the passwords.


This is not being talked about enough.

Have people already forgot about The Fappening?

It was one of the nastiest privacy failures for tech companies. I'm impressed with how fast public opinion can change.
