I call bad comparison. At least in theory, Apple’s cloud should be safe. Donald Sterling confided damaging information to a severely untrustworthy person.

I found Dan Kaminsky's theory interesting:

A theory offered on Twitter by security expert Dan Kaminsky, chief scientist at WhiteOps.com, is that someone who was collecting a cache of the celebrity nudes may have been hacked by the person or people who spread the images online over the weekend. If the photos were collected by a person from different sources over a long period of time, it could explain why some of the images appear to be genuine and others are allegedly fake.
That would also explain why many of the pictures were taken by Android phones, Windows PC webcams, had Tumblr watermarks, etc., and variously didn't come from Apple devices.

I view this as a full realization that even NOW Apple can no be viewed as being perfect in the security area.

I am talking about the concept of privacy in the main.

Circumstances and differences are always going to exist between individual cases.

A PERSON has the reasonable expectation of privacy when they use a service and they have a reasonable expectation of privacy when they engage in a conversation in their home.

The media hypocrisy is pretty obvious.
