Des photos de stars nues publiées sur Internet et les réseaux sociaux s’emballent. Les victimes auraient en commun d’avoir hébergé ces photos sur iCloud. Le service d’Apple a-t-il été piraté ou seuls les comptes visés l’ont-ils été ?

Subscribers to the MacRumors user forums have been advised to change their passwords because of a suspected data breach after the site was hacked.
Security industry experts have been warning for quite some while that privileged user accounts are a top target for hackers and this form of intrusion is becoming increasingly common in targeted attacks.

The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has announced that the majority of data breaches in the first quarter of 2013 were due to carelessness in the way that the information was handled.
That's according to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) which says 175 out of 335 incidents it examined between April 1 and June 30 were due to personal data being “disclosed in error”.
Half of data breaches are due to people being careless with what they do with private information. How can we all help to reduce this problem?

LivingSocial, the online offers site owned in largish part by Amazon, has just emailed its userbase, said to be 50,000,000-strong, to fess up to a data breach.

Sometimes I wish the internet could just be a place to exchange wholesome information, such as cooking recipes and tips on Linux, but sadly, there is a dark side. There are deviant people lurking on the web doing all sorts of horrible things. Yesterday, a hacker leaked the private pictures and videos (nude and semi-nude) of many celebrities, and they have spread across the net. For these celebrities, who are real people, I am sure it has been a very trying time; their privacy has been destroyed and I offer my sympathies. For the many people (if they can be called that) viewing and spreading the pictures, the occasion has been dubbed Learn more: - http://www.scoop.it/t/apple-mac-ios4-ipad-iphone-and-in-security - http://www.scoop.it/t/21st-century-learning-and-teaching/?tag=iCloud

It is pretty clear that iCloud has become a threat to most Apple users due to the recent "Celebrity nudes" scandal. I strongly believe that you shouldn't be worried about people being able to get a hold of photographs and videos of personal moments, such as family dinners and Christmas parties. This incident really makes you wonder just how easy it is to hack in to Apple's software systems, and how much Apple's developers have seen of our personal lives. Scandals such as thing will keep things talking, but will Apple release a statement regarding everything that has happened?

This article is very important because it effected so many people! Not only the people that purchased items from target, but anyone who has ever had any contact information in the Target system. This has had a major impact on the business and the trust in their security system since the breach.People are definitely watching where they're spending their money.
