perhaps i just dont pay enough attention to "celebrities" but looking thru this list of leaked files, i dont recognise pretty much any of them.. except for a couple..
who are these people and why should i care?

The only thing that makes me happy is that we will not hear any more zealotry like:
Muh aiphone so secure, best computing, Pcss so insecure, lol
Maybe now appl fanboys will understand that any system that hits critical mass will be slayed like a virgin
Good luck Tim defending that in one week
- It wasn't a Mac that was hacked it was the iCloud thingy. Right?monospaced

The message the public gets a week before iPhone premiere:
Celebs use iPhones, and for kinky stuff to boot.
Free advertising for Apple.The leak? Who cares, everyone knows they'll fix it.

- So where is the iOS malware if this is a joke to you? Honestly curious.monospaced
- Hackers don't need it on IOS. Apple's security is easy enough.sem

I can't believe we are not discussing the gaping hole in cloud security that was exploited?
Do you think appl will release a statement about the breach or issue a silent update as usual?
btw: predicting 13yo romanian computer genius getting slammed pretty soon

Seems the passwords were bruteforced, as in guessed from lists of passwords available online and tested against iCloud servers.
Websites and services usually delay repeated attempts when entering passwords and even lock accounts temporarily when suspicious activity is detected, it seems there was a server related to Apple ID where you could point your bruteforce lists against which wasn't protected with these delays and lockouts.

So not really hacked, more like script kiddies guessing passwords.
- a good password manager which generates gigantic passwords of random letters and numbers help mitigate these attacksernexbcn

- That qualifies as a 'hack'. Not particularly elegant or sophisticated in its deployment, but a hack nonetheless.detritus
- hack, maybe, but is it really a flaw in Apple's service?monospaced
- it is a flaw because it should block multiple attempts of wrong passwordsernexbcn
- I see.monospaced

"...more like script kiddies guessing passwords. "
In other words, hacking basics.
