Well you got one thing right... It is pathetic.

Anyone who assumes anything on the internet/cloud is secure and private is an idiot.

these people do lock their doors at night... and have gates and fences... and do not store their money on their back porch where it might be easily stolen... should learn enough about the technology they are using to prevent the same bad things from happening to them...

its called personal responsibility. Whether they have it... or one of the dozens of people they pay to do their (manager / agent / PR person) bidding has it... they are responsible for themselves.

Crime is real. Crime is eminent. Its not IF something will happen to you, its when. If you don't take every available precaution to stop it, its your own fault.

I don't think you realize Cloud Computing is no different really than the old Server / Client model other than it scales better.

Your banking, medical records, etc are all pretty much in a cloud now.

Sure, but it's hard to defend the victims when they are lashing out like JLaw is. Yes, you have a right to privacy and it was violated but that isn't akin to a sexual assault. Going after google for indexing and the people who viewed the pics as a crime is bat shit insane.

the fact that these pictures were uploaded into a cloud storage medium with a EULA most likely means that right to privacy is much less air tight than you'd think. They are all probably property of apple or something now.


Oh I agree with both of you. JLaw sounds a bit nutso in the direction of her attempts at a lawsuit here, but I'm not really sure if I'd blame here. I can only assume she is speaking from behind lawyerly advice.

My issue with the right to privacy regarding how these images were leaked--and I could be misunderstanding how this works--is that there was never full, clear disclosure that everything they kept on their phone was cloud-backed? Maybe there was, I don't do iPhone. Also, my phone is now 3+? years (GSII) old and while there is syncing and options like this, I always turn it off to conserve battery. I mean, it's just how I use it. I use it to place calls and receive calls. Maybe read some shit from time to time. I don't keep anything important on there.

point being...what I had read before was that Apple was backing up images on everyone's iPhone without direct acknowledgement that they were doing this (Again, not sure if that is accurate or not. sounds to me like a service you toggle or something that is explicitly understood...but it is Apple: they have shit for brains when it comes to useability)

if that is the case, then I think they shouldn't even be pilloried for assuming they were keeping private things private, outside of losing the phone.

actually I do.
I just don't delude myself into believing that anything electronic is secure...

There is only 1 server configuration which is secure:
securely locked in a magnetically shielded bunker, with keyboard, mouse, & monitor removed, no removable media drives, all i/o ports disabled, no network capability, no modem capability, all data encrypted and striped over multiple drives, each storage drive password protected, bios setup password protected, bios boot password, completely powered off, power unplugged from outlet, building disconnected from national power grid

and even that level of isolation is only 60% secure from data theft.

Have the Miesha Tate pics leaked? That woman is absolutely gorgeous.

I'm thinking those don't exist, the person who claims to have them was asking for $350. Why would he be asking for such a small amount? By now someone would have had to have paid for them. If they're real the only explanation I can come up with, they were real and Meisha herself paid for them. If that's the case, then he'd also have to be super nice hax0r for not still releasing them.

It doesn't add up.
