Full Title: Nude Photos Of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Ariana Grande Leak In Massive iCloud Hack

Jennifer Lawrence, Ariana Grande, and Kate Upton were among a handful of celebrities whose nude photos were leaked late Sunday afternoon following what appears to be a large-scale hack.

The photos first appeared on a 4Chan thread (very NSFW). So far, only Lawrence’s publicist Bryna Rifkin has confirmed, in an official statement to Buzzfeed, that the photos were of her client...

...The leaked photos were apparently obtained via a massive hack of Apple’s iCloud. They were then posted on 4chan by users offering more explicit material in exchange for bitcoin payments.

Folks, this means all backed up private iPhone/iPad files are possibly being downloaded. It's not only pictures being downloaded when (as mentioned in another article on this) they are selling the access to others.

Please consider immediately deleting all iCloud backups.

Tom Arnold has a remedy but you really don’t want to think about it much.

I have an idea. Don’t take naked photos of yourself if you don’t want anyone to see them.

Never heard of any of the three. Are they worth googling?

At least don’t store photos on the line. Invest in a NAS not visible

If you don’t want people seeing you naked, don’t take naked pictures of yourself, and don’t publish them on the internet.

Never used iCloud because I knew the Feds had instant access to it and if they did it meant it wouldn’t be hard for hackers to break into the accounts. Only back up info n keep it offline.

Besides pictures what else is kept on iCloud? My husband might have nude pictures (lol) but I don’t.

If you think Kate Upton is not worth looking at you have a serious problem.

I would NEVER back up ANYTHING on places out of my personal physical control.

That includes Carbonite, Icloud, etc.

Mine are all stored in metal, fireproof containers, and in vehicles.
