lapal_fan Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Ok, topic created. So, a large list of lovely ladies has been hacked and their nuddies have been posted online. In a vain attempt to stop it, some sites, even the notourious 4chan have stopped members publishing them. Thousands of people already have them though, including one or two here (not me!) I don't even know 90% of them. CED needs to put that article in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I bet the individual(s) responsible are caught and go to prison for longer than some rapists and murderers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 tbh it never harmed the careers of anyone else who was leaked on the web and it will soon be forgotten about once the next set of pics turn up .. Pam Anderson being the original and the master at making fortunes out of it But I do wonder how many people disgusted at the phone hacking scandal have searched the web for these photo's though Now I know people will say "hacking a dead girls phone " ( she wasn't dead at the time as far as anyone knew ) isn't the same thing ... and yes they are right .. but the general premise behind it all IS the same thing I still think Apple are going to hit a for a shit load of money once the lawyers get going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 from a site that mobilises so much anger about all all the privacy invasions of the NSA etc, and has a generalised spirit of libertarianism but more than happy to perve on the private hacked photos of people's intimate moments. Excellent. Rather undermines the general outrage about illegal invasions of privacy, if the judgement is that it's really bad, except when we can see some private tits and foof. ( But this is the internet - there's shit tons of that already!! ) All people are either entitled to privacy or they're not, no picksies! but since you're wondering, yes I've seen some of the pics and let's be honest it just felt creepy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It does seem very odd...... iCloud accounts hacked of very famous (technologically inept) people leads to FBI investigation. Ebay/PayPal account hacked actual fraud commited as well as the theft of personal data. Exactly noone cares. I'm still of this opinion: Again I'll return to the house analogy. If your house is burgled because you are too ignorant,dim,unaware to operate the alarm system you bear some responsibilty for the fact your stuff gets nicked. The thief is 100% culpable but this is no way is a "system failure" on the part of the alarm company - nor is it a failure on the part of Apple. These aren't "normal" individuals who I would have a lot more sympathy with. These are high profile, celebrities whose personal life, habits and peculiarites are of interest to fans, hackers and perverts alike. They (or the people they pay to manage them) should be 100% aware of auto cloud back ups and the consequences of not storing data properly. Its part of basic existance in the 21st century. Default position: The hacker is ALWAYS in the wrong, but if you don't protect yourself and make it easy to get hacked, you too are partly to blame. The other surprise is the number of people who are shocked that in the privacy of their own homes, celebrities are not made up and airbrushed to ****. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm also sure that the distribution of none famous people's bodies and sex lives have been available on amateur websites. The only difference is with "The Fappening" is that the peoples bodies exposed are in the public eye. I know of a guy (a fat little shit who worked/s in O2 in Merry Hill) who downloads/takes any explicit images/videos from the phones of people who are having them repaired. He's exactly the type of person who you'd expect to have done this type of thing. He makes me sick just thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yes, I take that point, but it's still criminal though isn't it? people's right to privacy has still been abused. One presumes one element about being angry about the NSA is about said invasion, obviously a private hacker is not accountable to any citizenry, beyond the general breaking of a social contract that all criminals break. It's hard to take a claim that privacy is truly valued if you're more than happy to perve on others. We may well be a curious species, wired to sticking one's nose in, but it just rather undermines some of the outrage I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandaq Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Very likely that the bug was from the "Find my phone" app or whatever it is called considering apple has pushed out an update. For what I can gather, the person who leaked them collected them from others who have acquired them. Transactions was made via bitcoin. After this guy has enough "footage" he went on 4chan and leaked them and tried to get more money for them. So, supposedly there is more pictures out there that did not get leaked. I for one am baffled that someone actually tried to get money over there. FBI is monitoring that closely right now and probably going through catalogs and finding the responsible one. Do have to put out the fact that putting naked pictures of yourself on a server is probably never a wise idea......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
