Apparantly there is a flaw in Apple's iCloud and some hacker has got them all nudes of famous celebreties but all of these people and even news websites are referring as 'those photos' but seriously where the **** are they? :skorm:

Are you any cloud service user? Do you trust them?

Justice's pics were real too except one.

There's a possibility that the "hacker" got figured out already. The other possibility is that he is actually not a moron and someone is framing someone.

Yeap, Upton, Lawrence, Justice, Strahovsky, Cuoco and say 4-5 "less popular" others.

Basically it's Apple's incompetence to blame for all this. The hacker didn't do much apparently.

It's almost a relief to know that someone breached the service to steal nude photos instead of social security numbers or financial account numbers.
My faith in humanity is restored, in a twisted kind of way.

It's really sad to hear that so many celebritys are victims of a hacker but this is their own fault. Why are they saving naked pictures in a cloud?

The list of stupidity? :S :S :S

A person using the same IM as the one used to upload images of Jennifer Lawrence, has released an apparent statement on the leaked images.

The faceless person behind the leaked list of nude celebrities’ photographs appears to have spoken for the first time since the images emerged.

Posting on 4chan – the image-sharing forum - the person claims they are not the hacker and instead just a collector.

Using the same IM as the one posting the J-Law snaps, the uploader wrote: “I didn't take the money and run. S**8 got weird once I started posting samples.”

The faceless poster continued: “People wanted s*** for free. Sure, I got $120 with my bitcoin address, but when you consider how much time was put into acquiring this stuff (i'm not the hacker, just a collector), and the money (i paid a lot via bitcoin as well to get certain sets when this stuff was being privately traded Friday/Saturday) I really didn't get close to what I was hoping.”

Bitcoin is a digital currency that doesn’t have a central authority. The coins can be bought by anonymous buyers, which supporters say increases privacy and makes fraud risk low.

Critics of the coin claim facelessness of the Bitcoin allows various illegal activities – such as the unlawful sharing of private images.

It is not easy to trace owners of the coins, which means this collector is as of yet still unknown.

However if their statement is truthful, investigators will have to trace a separate hacker in order to get to the bottom of what is already the biggest photo hacking scandal in history.

And it looks like it may not be long until both the hacker and collector are unmasked.

Jen's agent told the Mirror: "This is a flagrant violation of privacy.

“The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence."

The Hunger Games actress is just one of 100 others who had nude pictures leaked on the site - a forum where almost all users remain anonymous.

He could have sold them or blackmailed those victims or the guy who posted it on 4chan could be someone who bought it for bitcoin somewhere else like said in above post.

Also someone posted on 4chan that he/she will release more.

This is not the first case of Cloud hack,I remember reading an
