ICloud security is compromised and intimate photos of celebrities are leaked

iCloud

The summer movie Sex Tape starring Cameron Diaz already gave a humorous warning to be recorded or photographing yourself in privacy is not a good idea, especially if that device with which you record yourself is a mobile phone with network connectivity, possible security flaws, which you can lose anywhere, etc.

The fact is that today the day has dawned with the news that, supposedly, iCloud has received an attack of a hacker, a person who has taken advantage of a vulnerability in Apple's cloud service to get hold of a large collection of nude photos and videos of famous women. More people will likely be affected, but since they lack public interest, what has been released so far is material from actresses like Jennifer Lawrence, Victoria Justice and a few others.

There are still many things to be clarified about this attack and although the sights point directly to iCloud and your security, the hacker may have used social engineering methods to get the passwords and photos of the victims, it could also be a major security flaw that affects the service in a general way but in any case, things still have to be clarified to find out where the error has been that allowed the hacker to get the photos.

While everything is clearing up, remember that it is advisable to have a strong password and activate two-step account verification to further reduce the chances of theft Apple ID. Taking intimate photos with the mobile is already up to each one but as you can see, it is not a good idea and in case of finding someone with bad intentions, this is what can happen so be careful.

We will keep reporting to see how this case evolves. At the moment it seems that they are trying to stop the leaks and it is to be assumed that as the day progresses, more will be known about this case that indirectly involves Apple. Remember that a few months ago, the service was down due to another hacker attack so it is not the first time that iCloud security has been questioned.

    There is a lack of awareness of people who take this type of photos with certain technologies with direct internet connectivity. And more of the people who live on celluloid and part of their body ... Of course, some people do the same until they talk a little about them, if only for this.
    Anyway, beat Apple for "allowing" this if it is discovered that it is a major security failure, and as American justice catches the hacker, they sell him his organs in parts to be able to take charge of the compensation.

    There is no lack of awareness, it is a whole system armed to make phones presumably safer, we know well that every electronic device connected to the Internet is vulnerable to attacks, but I am not worried that it is by hackers, if by the government and especially from the United States ladies and gentlemen If you want security, do not use any electronic device because everything is spied on by the United States government and its allies
