Apple on Tuesday issued a statement blaming the posting online of more than 100 celebrities’ photos in various stages of dishabille on a highly targeted hack attack to gain access to their usernames, passwords and answers to security questions. None of the cases investigated resulted from any breach in the company’s systems, including iCloud or Find my iPhone, Apple maintained. However, Apple this weekend reportedly fixed a flaw in its Find My iPhone feature that was believed to have allowed hackers to breach those celebrities’ accounts.
ALL cloud situations are, have and will be hackable. It's only been a matter of time before Apples bravado bit them in the "tail end". It was ingrained in me in the 80's that when you store something, you use a method that you control and are solely responsible for. As the "web tubes" have gone all nutz in taunting people to "upload" their lives, what should they expect? Especially those that have very "interesting" lives! It's all part of the money slurping that providers do these days. Great time to site: "Buyer Beware!" And these days it's really beware, sensible and realistic.
