A few weeks ago, a number of women celebrities had their personal iPhone accounts hacked. Women like Jennifer Lawrence had nude photos released to the public without their consent. Now weeks later, another hacking has occured. Celebs like Kim Kardashian, Hayden Panettiere and Rihanna are just a few of the most recent women who were exposed.
Many people speculated that iPhone's iCloud was to blame for the hacking. It was said that the hacker was able to hack into their iCloud accounts and steal the women's photos, even ones that were deleted. iCloud is mass storage system where all of your iPhone information is backed up and stored into.
It's freaks me out that all of the photos/videos I have taken are stored into this virtual world of technology. If it was that easy to steal high-profile people's information and photos, then how easy would it be to steal the average Joe's?
It definitely makes you think twice about what you're using your technology for.
This whole ordeal makes me concerned about what I do with my iPhone. After I watched the movie Sex Tape, I immediately disconnected my iCloud from streaming photos out of my phone. Honestly, I shouldn't have to fear using my own property.
