Who's at fault over J-Law's nude photo hack?

(CNN) -- The latest nude celebrity photo leak is yet another case of how the Internet often lets people do whatever they want to whomever they want.
On Sunday, a user of anonymous Internet message board 4chan posted hundreds of nude photos of some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities, including actress Jennifer Lawrence and model Kate Upton. The poster claimed photos of Victoria Justice and Ariana Grande were included, but the singer/actresses deny that the photos are real.

So where does the FBI start such an investigation? Across the street at the NSA? They'd be the usual suspects when it comes to hacking our privacy rights and information.

The only really bothersome thing about this is the federal government is going to get involved only because some celebrity morons got hacked, they don't care about the thousands of normal people this happens to. Of course since there is an easy solution, like not being stupid enough to have nude photos on any type of media is clearly too much to ask...

Special treatment for celebrities with our tax dollars is not a good use of our money...

 

We talking Jude law or Jennifer Lawrence ?

 

Does it matter? Both would get special treatment and the use of our tax dollars.

 

Ummm ....yeah? One is a dude, the other is a girl. Pretty big difference. One I wouldn't mind seeing, the other I would rather not see.

 

Here's a clue: If you don't want the public to see your pictures, then don't post them on the Internet.

 

they weren't posted on the internet, they were stolen during an iCloud hack.

humanity (*)(*)(*)(*)ed by an apple again.

that depends on what they're doing.

 

Do you think that an "iCloud" is some fluffy white thing up in the sky?

 

it's a storage, not sharing site.

 

...on the Internet.

 

where do you think 4Chan has been getting most of it's nudie pics? they've been cracking private accounts on every image site for yeeeeaaaars.

 

Apple doesn't use the real internet for transferring data. it goes from the phone to the phone service provider to Apple and back the same route. there's likely wiretap charges coming...if the agents don't get pulled off of this to investigate a double parked mini-van with a TP sticker.

 

I think Lawrence is being a bit disengenuous with her "outrage". Aside from "blue pasties" and a "blue thong"....she was essentially naked in "X-men First Class". She made a big deal about being in a "body suit" for "Days of Future Past" to try to cover up (no pun) for that fact from her first appearance as Mystique.

Plus practically every actress did nudity starting out....Marilyn Monroe, obviously. Sally Field did it. Reese Witherspoon. Sandra Bullock. Who gives a crap now?

 

The person who accessed the systems without permission, copied personal data and gave (sold?) it to others. Just like any other proactive crime, it's entirely and alone the fault of the criminal(s).

"Normal" people are likely to have been involved too. It seems to be quite a widespread theft so it's unlikely to be limited to celebrities or compromising photographs. Similar large scale "hacks" which weren't linked to celebrities get investigations too. They don't get massive media coverage or internet trolls telling the victims they're idiots for using 21st Century technology (on 21st Century technology of course).

What you're really suggesting that nobody should store any private data on any form of digital or physical media? Maybe nobody should own any property to prevent theft too.

 

Be on the safe side...

Store your images on the Skittles Cloud, rather than on an Internet server farm.

 

Apple does not own the internet

 

Apparently, they own the fake Internet.

 

they have an intranet.

 

but then so does your utility company...remember that when you have your identity stolen despite never even using your real name on the web. the power company knows more about you than your own parents.

 

The federal government is getting involved because this is an interstate crime.

They didn't.

 

No? Really????

 

Then you sure are wrong.

 

Except for it being some knee-jerk rightwing "bash" of "Hollywood" and "special treatment by the FBI" (which it isn't)......the whole point of the OP collapses under both legal and Constitutional requirements.

What if it were NO celebrity "nude pics" or "just" text messages from non-celebrities?....should the FBI just ignore it?

 

If you are going to use any form of cloud based storage then encrypt your files first.

 

then it would be unlikely that the FBI would have ever found out about it. Apple isn't going to advertise a security breach.

 

Anonymous is made up of professional hacker criminals. Encrypting your files doesn't mean a whole lot to them.
