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 Lawrences 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 Apples iCloud. They were then posted on 4chan by users offering more explicit material in exchange for bitcoin payments.

ICloud backs up more than most people think. In their own words:

Hahahahahahahaaaaa! By now, the patch is probably complete, and if anything was stolen, it is already in play!
Unless iCloud somehow holds your only backup (and I don’t think this is normally the case), it will minimally affect you.
This tutorial to optimize iCloud for your iPhone will give you an idea of what’s there.

I don’t know if turning these off will immediately delete your data on iCloud, sadly. Also, I don’t know if any credit card information in Passbook is in plaintext in iCloud.
Pinging Swordmaker for more...
LMAO!
Read it again Ivan. I didn’t say she wasn’t. I asked if she was. I have no idea who any of them are. So is she worth the effort to google? I assume by your comment that she’s a looker.
> Thanks. If you turn off iCloud how will that affect normal use? Thanks!
It just won’t back it up but you can buy software that will backup your iPhone to your computer pretty inexpensively
Oh no...pumpkin crack...
I don’t use Apple, and don’t save anything to cloud storage.
This might explain some other seen things occurring across the net also.
And only deal with firms that keep their PIE-holes closed ....
I never used any form or alternative of icloud. I always used the external hard drives or firewire for backup. I never felt comfortable with my information somehow online, no matter how secure.
Lol....this was easily predictable.
Do you think perhaps Shadow should be pinged?
yes, except for Grande- i think she’s like 16YO...

Ace time?
Nicki Minaj’s account got hacked too?
“Are they worth googling?”
Define “googling”. I might have done it when it was named something else.
