Could be, or it could be the hand is part of the original pornographic pic.
I dunno though, just thought that guy must be very happy if he got $50k anonymously for some photoshops ;P
I know I would be!
Apple just needs to learn from Google. You can't secure the accounts of people who don't want the security over convenience, you just can't, someone else will give them the convenience over security and their stuff will just get compromised over there. Apple needs actual 2 factor authentication support. Right now it is very selective about where it is required when enabled, and not required in many areas that contain private data.
In after android fanboys.
I am happy
Don't forget that Android also automatically syncs with Picasa unless you disable it.
Yep, that is quite annoying.
Just had to throw that out there for the Android fanboys that might be oblivious to that.
lol
But how hard is it to obtain a Google account vs an Apple account? :P
Google's login has a pretty solid 2FA setup. Apple's is kind of, "lacking". It's kind of hit and miss, and doesn't work on iCloud. Apparently Apple is working on fixing this, but who knows.
On the other hand, apparently this hack was by brute force and not an exploit. Apple has fixed the loophole from what I read.
I never noticed how great JLaws body is until these pics.
On one hand, I kinda feel bad because of the invasion of their privacy... but on the other hand... well, that hand is busy.
If these were your normal run of the mill people you probably wouldn't care about privacy as much, just because they're celebrities doesn't mean they're any different to us..
Every company needs a kick in the butt every now and then. I've been waiting for iCloud to get a solid one for lack of quality 2 factor authentication implementation. There's always an upside. It would be odd to not see that implemented within the next couple of months.
I'm totally shocked that models and movie stars don't pick strong passwords.
Because they're any different than us? We all know a few people here who don't or didn't have secure SSH passwords..
You stole that!
:P
Me. iPhone is just for some simple man who just want a phone to call or take some pictures. Android is much more powerful than iOS.
How do you know an android user when you see one? Just give them a minute, they'll let you know.
Hey.
They probably didn't have an IT firm that makes sure they're "secure online"
Some celebs do.
Like vegans?
Apple forgot to set a limit for the specific login page so that everyone could bruteforce an account. I think that's a major issue nowadays since passwords has to be very secure (More than 16 chars), even if 2FA is enabled.
The hackers behind the attack used a known tool called iBrute (https://github.com/hackappcom/ibrute)
It uses Find My Iphone service API, where bruteforce protection was not implemented. Password list was generated from top 500 RockYou leaked passwords, which satisfy appleID password policy. Before you start, make sure it's not illegal in your country.@duyan13 wasn't that posted earlier too?
Oh well damn, didn't noticed that @jmginer already posted that. Sorry xD.
I just wonder when the next unsecured page will be found.
How do you know there is a Apple user on the other side of you? They'll start complaining the second they see me getting my Android phone.
Brute force protection shouldn't be on a page by page basis for the same authentication system. Makes you wonder if they sync the same data to each part of the service. Poor design is all, really. I love Apple products but it's easy to forget that this is a product built as .Mac which was a horribly buggy service for years. They just need better sys admins.
Lol, iPhone user here and advised my girlfriend (wife I guess due to common law) to buy an S5 recently. I wouldn't recommend Apple for anybody, except those who drop their phone commonly, like me. Android-based phones are much faster, less subject to performance degradation over time, and most importantly you're supporting open source.
I used to like my @mac.com e-mail address. Fuck paying the yearly fee once the 12 month trial was up though.
And Mac users.
I don't know how android users get work done. Is it difficult to balance spending your day telling everyone how your pocket warmer is better than theirs while still working full time and getting enough sleep?
