Also there's an issue with jilted exes publishing private photos on the internet as a mode of blackmail. This practice should be addressed somehow, hopefully legally.

The fact that no one has even bothered to mention the name of the victimized celebrity across 30 posts, because it is assumed you know all about it already, is a commentary in itself.

There are dozens of victimised celebrities involved.

People tend to think of famous women's bodies as public property. It's the same reason they feel free to scrutinize them for weight gain or whatever, just a supercharged version of everyday misogyny but one that is rarely even recognized as problematic.

There are, like, 100 victims, and it's all in the news. And I just mentioned one. I don't really get your point, aimless?

News of naked celebs reaches me by a stagecoach-delivered mailbag, so I expect to know more by next Thursday.

On a technical note I really hope this will lead to something better than two factor authentication. It works, but it's such an enormous hassle that hardly anyone is prepared to use it.

iirc that was how Paris Hilton's phone got hacked back in the day? She had tinkerbell (her dog's name) as the password. More recently, I recall reading on ontd about Miley Cyrus stalkers who accessed her mother's icloud via similar means. 10 years between the two incidents and we're still using passwords?

lord if I hear one more smug prick compare this situation with 'leaving a door unlocked' I will go postal.
a friend of mine got so fed-up with these assholes in a friend's FB thread that he actually claimed to have hacked their personal credit card info and threatened to post it on the thread since it was "their fault for not being secure enough". not something I condone but it was funny how quickly they didn't find it funny anymore.
