A flaw in the 'Find My iPhone' function of Apple's iCloud service may have helped a hacker to steal nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and '100 other celebrities', it today emerged.
The hacker claims he or she broke into stars' iCloud accounts, including those of the Hunger Games actress, Kate Upton and Rihanna, before publishing them on 4chan, the image-sharing forum.
A list of the alleged victims of the hack - 101 in total - has also been posted online; most of whom have not seen any photographs leaked by the hacker.
A spokesman for Oscar winner Lawrence confirmed to MailOnline the photos of her are genuine.

I guess storing personal data on the cloud isn't such a good idea after all...

Probably a publicity stunt. Clever way to get an aspiring starlet’s name in the news.

Isn’t the CIA using a cloud service from Amazon?

Original title for the piece is: “Did iCloud’s ‘Find My iPhone’ function help hacker steal ‘nude’ photos of Jennifer Lawrence and 100 other celebrities? Flaw may have allowed 4chan hacker to break into their accounts” but it wouldn’t fit...

Yea, Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence needs extra publicity because no one knows her.

I love Findmyphone. Sometimes its the only way I can keep track of Mr. Mercat. I’ll take my nude photos of him off the cloud though. Rats.

“Yea, Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence needs extra publicity because no one knows her.”
Unless someone watched the one movie she was in who would know her? Most people don’t follow the Oscars or live their lives by pop culture. Has she generated any additional movie offers? Is she being forgotten and needs some publicity?

victims - 101 in total Sort of pales in comparison to other recent hacks. Am not a tech but have a question. Could this hack be an entry point (caught) but platform hacked could be used for other entries on other platforms?

I have Amazoncloud but I only use it for the Media I buy from Amazon. It makes it very handy and any Media you purchase from Amazon does not count towards your storage limit.

The one movie? You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.

Jennifer Lawrence is one of the best to come along in quite a while. Too bad the hollywierd mindset is so warped. No pitty from here.
To: Mad Dawgg
Wow....idiots. They put nude photos on a cloud and are shocked when this happens?
