I think my reaction of, “huminy, huminy, huminy” was quite appropriate.

She's a mediocre actress and just by chance her topless pics get released?
Nothing gets done in Hollywierd without a script. And it's just convenient
that this happens only to the wash-outs, has-beens, and used up actors
past their 15-mins.

I was admittedly a bit slackjawed, myself. Jennifer has a lovely body, with bodyfat in all the right places. God is kinda neat. Thank you God.

the "hacking" consisted of guessing the answers to the security questions. A hack is a hack. As the author himself points out, "security questions" are not security.

Nor is allowing multiple retries of a bad password, the very heart of a brute force attack schema...

Some of my accounts allow 3 attempts and then a call to customer service is needed.
To: Dead Corpse
I didn’t know for sure if they allowed unlimited (or numerous) retries. If so, shame on them.

I don’t think “topless” covers it.

If you don’t take pictures of yourself nekkid, no one can hack your iCloud account and get them.

Passwords are most often cracked off line, not repeated attempts on the actual site.
