If the NSA is behind it, now they can see who has them, and who reup loads them

Lock em up for profit yo

No doubt that is part of the overall strategy (i.e. either part of the main plan or a backup if the primary objective fails).

Obligatory "where's the conspiracy?" post

The NSA is theorized to be behind this leaks- particularly because no hacker group has claimed responsibility and we still don't know the actual source of the leaks (individual or group, or where they came from in the first place is still being debated).

Fair enough. I think the NSA theory makes sense but what official bs is being given? Or are news channels just ignoring that part entirely until it blows over?

The NSA haven't made any statements on it, but the consensus is that a hacker/s found a vulnerability within iCloud, where the nudes were stored on celebrity accounts. However, Apple had said that they've investigated the issue thoroughly and that iCloud had not been compromised.

We honestly have no idea. Whatever information we are given through mainstream media should be taken with a grain of salt. Apple claims that the iCloud wasn't compromised...if that is true, it leavess us with a single suspect: the NSA.

Because that would mean the hacker had to have backdoor access I assume (giggity)?

Are we able to call them a 'hacker' if they are accessing data through a backdoor? I mean, a thief is a thief, but there's a large difference between using programming skills to break through a website's wall of security- using a backdoor typically speaks of a greater involvement (i.e. not an individual, but a group of some sort, and in this case, presumably the NSA).

or a password. weren't the accounts brute forced? not sure where i heard that there was a bug in icloud which allowed people to make guesses at passwords without getting banned. they usually have some kind of rate limiter for these cases.

A few million tries later ....

Why would they take it down if the NSA had leaked them? If the NSA were to leak a ton of nudes, they would want people to have them. Otherwise what's the point of leaking them?

[–]ThrustGoblin 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

If it was the NSA, this is setting precedent for censorship. On a related note, regarding authority, read Reddit's every man is responsible... blog post. Of particular interest is the part that begins with:

"...we consider ourselves not just a company running a website where one can post links and discuss them, but the government of a new type of community."

Could be a show of power. Make people feel as though they aren't safe by releasing private things then make it seem as though they can help by getting the private things taken down.

[–]Insolitae 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Wouldn't the NSA want people to upload private thing things, so that they have more potentially valuable information to store? Now wouldn't be the time for a display of power, especially because they're trying to prevent Snowden from going all-out and releasing all he's got. That would be enough of a power display by itself.

People are, and will continue to do it anyway. Voluntarily. That's the nature of pitting people's desire for social validation and fame against their suppressed desire for privacy.
