It is not as if no private photographs or videos were stolen before there was cloud storage. Thieves used to break into houses before, now they break into digital storage. A private photo is no different from money from a on-line bank account or a confidential business contract. I can see no reason why people should be supporting the cyber criminals by blaming the victims.
// Anybody who allows compromising photographs of themselves to be taken in the first place is taking a risk but to allow them into the possession of a Third Party (however trusted) is stupid. //
There is no difference between a valuable picture and money. An no difference between a cyber vault and a bank vault. Blaming these celebs is just making excuses for criminals. It is like saying the Great Train Robbers can be excused because the security on that train was poor.

Orderlimit - "He hasn't said the clebs are to blame for people illegally accessing the pics just that they are dumb for having them available for them to access."
Since the hacking would not have occured if the celebrities had not placed their pics on the site, there is no hair to split, despite your best efforts.

Yes it is a problem Gromit. But not one we can easily avoid in today's world. But you are quite right it is a risk leaving your money in the bank especially if relying on the bank's own webpages to see what they admit they have of yours, rather than keeping hard copy safe. One day you may find it all says zero and then what will you do ?
Sigh... Mikey, it's natural to be interested in how you look naked, or in how your partner does. It's not daft to take photos. Lots of people do. Nor is it pornographic...
The celebrities in this case deserved nothing of the sort. In any other context this would be seen as what it was -- a criminal invasion of their privacy.

The article states, 'images were technically "online", they were in fact kept private - the images were stolen from private cloud accounts belonging to the celebrities'.
I have no knowledge of cloud accounts (and I don't want to know) but is it wise for celebs to post intimate images or info in this way because this story suggest not. Very silly thing to do.

I'm stll getting my head around the fact that people want to be photographed bare naked in the buff. Even in my glory years as Miss Assistant Chairleg 1935 I would not have exposed my bits to anyone, let alone put them onto a supposedly safe storage website. Once it's out there it is Out There. Anyone can hack, ask the News of the World.
