News : 'Cloud' concerns after celebrity picture leaks.

[Anonymous]

Headline : 'Cloud' concerns after celebrity picture leaks.

"Experts have raised concerns over the security of "cloud" storage sites following the leak of intimate pictures of celebrities.

It is understood some of the images were obtained from services such as Apple iCloud that back up content from devices on to the internet.

Apple is understood to be looking into the issue."



My thoughts :

I understand most things are not secure ,and I use Apples iCloud and DropBox. Let's see how this pans out !

Do you use cloud vaults etc ?

"Apple confirms accounts compromised but denies security breach"

"Apple has confirmed that some celebrities' iCloud accounts were broken into, but says it has found no evidence that this was caused by a breach of its security systems.

Instead, the firm suggests perpetrators carried out their thefts by deducing victims' log-in credentials."

Which is pretty much what I said earlier.

Kaley Cuoco has taken it well, even posting a retaliatory pic on Instagram yesterday
