A flaw in the 'Find My iPhone' function of Apple's iCloud service may have helped a hacker to steal nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and '100 other celebrities', it today emerged.

 

The hacker claims he or she broke into stars' iCloud accounts, including those of the Hunger Games actress, Kate Upton and Rihanna, before publishing them on 4chan, the image-sharing forum.

 

A list of the alleged victims of the hack - 101 in total - has also been posted online; most of whom have not seen any photographs leaked by the hacker.

 

A spokesman for Oscar winner Lawrence confirmed to MailOnline the photos of her are genuine.

'This is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence,' the emailed statement read.

 

Following the publication of the images of Sunday night, experts have voiced their concerns over how the hacker managed to access them. Now, reports suggest that a specific flaw in the 'Find My iPhone' service may have been to blame.

 

Despite the story breaking last night, Apple is still yet to confirm or deny whether its software was the target of the hacking.

Point is, don't take compromising selfie and upload to the cloud.

 

Heck, don't ever put any important document you have in the cloud.

 

You should always assume the cloud can be hacked.

Why take naked selfies? Same thing as why take video of yourself making love? You are not a porn star. Anyway there's no reason for ppl to take naked selfies. If you are not good at IT dan dun take. [laugh]

True. But the "celeb" logic is that they are away from their loved ones with their shoots etc so sending some titillating stuff to their partner only.

 

Total BS if you ask me... its just a cultural thingee nowadays :D

 

BTW, I thought Jen Lawrence and Ariana were awesome [thumbsup]

But Kate Upton looked like a beached whale [thumbsdown]

 

The others I didn't see cos I didn't know who the heck they were [bounce1]

BTW, this is an unwanted attention for AAPL coming just a week ahead of what many people say, their biggest launch since 2007

Yesterday is machiam strike Toto day.

 

I got to see a topless Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton on one webpage. Goddamn! Kate Upton's got some stupendous titties. Motorboat all night.

 

But yeah this is why I don't store anything personal or that I don't want other people seeing on clouds or even 3rd party websites (FB etc).
