“iCloud hackers” are on a roll this month as they have leaked over 100+ celebrities photographs in the space of 2 weeks. High profile celebs such as: Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Vanessa Hudgens, Gabriella Union but the latest one this week is including the shocking leak of the 21 years old Disney actress Keke Palmer. FBI has been contacted by the celebs, they have confirmed their images are real and they want a solid investigation on their icloud being hacked. How do they do it? I don’t know. Which celeb would be next on the list? We wait and see. Some label this act as a “sex crime” rather than an ordinary scandal; everyone should have the right to keep their private lives to themselves whether they are celebrities or not, we are all humans and require the same rights at the end of the day. When the hacking news broke into the public, many pointed their fingers at leaks in Apple’s iCloud system but the company recently said that the hack was a result of targeted celebrities and had nothing to do with Apple systems. Apple wrote a public announcement saying “We have discovered that certain celebrity accounts were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions, a practice that has become all too common on the Internet,” Fingers have been pointed at a site called 4chan which is run by a couple of anonymous hackers who are accusingly the main distributers to the icloud photos being publicised. As they show no remorse this was posted on their site “Do they really think that they have any chance of stopping us? We will just make a new thread every time one gets 404’ed.” There has been a massive debate on social networking sites such as twitter, the debates are about why females send/take nudes? And how it makes a woman’s image seem easy, what I don’t understand is that women do these things either because a male has demanded it or to simply please the opposite sex who they might trust. Although I believe it’s all a scam how convenient these so-called celebs leaked photos always comes out to the public when they are releasing and promoting a new product or when their spot light had been fading away. Are celebrities leaking these images themselves? I wouldn’t be surprised.
