    The criminal who did it,directly, and the provider of the security that failed, indirectly.

    These celebrities are just mad that: (a) they were too stupid to store naked photos of themselves in cyberspace where they know there is always a possibility of being hacked and (b) they are not getting paid for letting people see them naked....generally they want millions of dollars from a movie contract to show their naked bodies to the public. They're just mad that they are not getting paid. LOL

    Why the outrage from the media? The media seems more concerned about a bunch of naked photos than they did about the Target security breach last Christmas. The media and entertainment industries push sex and sexual innuendo at us 24/7. Now that someone isn't getting paid for it, apparently there is an embarrassment factor from the same women who make money by being provocative in the first place!

    I personally was a victim of financial identity theft (and I don't use my debit or credit cards on the internet) last spring. The FBI certainly wasn't coming to my aid after my incident, although my bank's customer service was awesome and they reimbursed me for my loss. Maybe if I was a donor to the DNC like these celebrities, then the FBI might have helped me. :roll:

    I think you'll find wealthy people get special treatment by government in far more ways than just this.

    Properly executed encryption methods are very difficult to crack. Even the NSA struggles with strongly encrypted information, and the NSA has resources Anyonmous couldn't even dream of.

    "Oddly" many on the Right don't mind that. When it's a wealthy person they like, they call them a "jobs creator"....remember?

    The government has absolutely nothing to do with the "fappening", but your efforts to suggest otherwise are amusing.

    Who's responsible? The hackers.

    She's actually wearing a body suit in that where as Rebecca Romjin was painted.

    NSA struggles to decrypt encryption systems made by governments. The private sector, especially that which is in the reach of most individuals, is nothing nearly as advanced.

    This is what I don't get? how can they be so indignant after uploading their own nudies to the iCloud? Why do they even have nudies to begin with? Look in the mirror if you want to see that! :roflol:

    Another group indirectly at fault are those who provide an audience for the hackers. Some argue that it's a sex crime, and who wants to be a party to that?

    Well, "sex crime" is definitely a stretch.

    Invasion of privacy and illegal wiretapping are much more appropriate charges. Granted, the NSA has essentially destroyed our right to privacy.

    If they didn't post any nude pics on a public network server, then they have nothing to worry about from hackers, do they? Maybe this didn't actually happen.

    "Cloud Services" (whether offered by Apple, or any other company) is merely a cutesy name for access to a server farm on the Internet.

    Pretty sure, Lawrence wore body paint and SOME applied prostethics in "First Class"....but DID wear a body suit for "Days of Future Past".

    One way to tell is there is some "movement" in "First Class" where in the action scenes in "Days of Future Past" everything remains relatively "jiggle-free".

    BTW, to be clear, Lawrence may be upset about her privacy being invaded...as anybody should be about their cloud being hacked.

    But she can't be upset about her being shown nude....as I said.

    If being a slut who posts nude pictures of herself in the cloud is a crime then this stupid woman qualifies as a criminal.

    Just like how if you don't put your money in the bank, it can't get stolen by bank robbers, so when people's money gets stolen its really their own fault, right?

    Trust me, the files were not stored in a cloud.
    [​IMG]
    They were stored on a hard disk drive at a server farm.

    "supposed" safe storage... LOL!!!

    I said nothing whatsoever about fault. If you trust your money in the bank -- that's your choice.

    If you choose to post nude pictures on the Internet, that's also your choice -- but you shouldn't be shocked when they become public.

    Are they really revealing?

    I have not seen them but a Hollywood airhead like Lawrence must have some hidden talents.
