Women (and white knights) all over the internet are outraged over the celebrity hacking photos released by a 4chan user.
Before getting to the JLaw sex video story, here are some of my insights on the whole hissy fit being thrown out by ‘strong independent’ women everywhere.
First and foremost, as someone who works daily in the IT and web space, this whole story is about cloud security, not celebrity feelz. Apple has clarified a few issues regarding how the hacker obtained the photos, noting that its iCloud security was not directly breached, but rather individual accounts (celebrities) were targeted on a user level.
Apple Official statement reads:
“When we learned of the theft, we were outraged and immediately mobilized Apple’s engineers to discover the source,” the company said in a statement.
After more than 40 hours of internal investigation,”we have discovered that certain celebrity accounts were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions, a practice that has become all too common on the Internet.”
“None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple’s systems.”
Irregardless, mobile + photos + cloud storage should not equal sensitive (i.e. nude pics) data.
Nothing is 100% safe on the web, mobile and cloud storage is no exception. Apple took some knocks in the press for this one, and now needs to beef things up some more…even if the hack was not directly related to their system.
For PR purposes, iCloud needs to be as iron clad as possible. This is Apple after all, and everyone expects the best for the premium price it charges. On the user side, pick a super hard password and do not give it out to anyone.
Second, celebrities who had their nude photos hacked are straight up dumb asses. Yeah, I know they were private moments blah blah blah. Don’t be dumb, don’t snap nude pics and then upload them to the cloud, that is just basic common sense, especially if you are an Oscar winning actress.
These ladies did not deserve to have their accounts hacked, irregardless of what data was residing in their storage accounts, but if such a misfortunate thing does occur make sure that the only thing taken are word documents and some silly photos of your cat…not your pussy.
Third and final point is, why the hell are women so shocked and outraged at this event? One reddit, Red Pill user put it like this:
What are they really mad about? That these woman aren’t as goddess-like any longer (relatively unimpressive bodies, same slutty poses we’ve seen on gonewild)? That, by solipsism, the feminists won’t be treated the same any longer?
Maybe its just the fact that when beta males are given free fapping material in such an audacious, high profile manner, feminists flip out. They know that a cardinal sin has been committed…a momentary breach on the most sacred asset they hold that keeps the millions of blue pill men in order and under control.
That would explain the quick outflow of ‘sex offender’ tweets that feminist flag bearers trotted out..
Seriously, do not forget that the person who stole these pictures and leaked them is not a hacker: they’re a sex offender.

All of this has not phased the photo hacker one bit. If anything it has motivated him to now make a quick buck, as The Independent UK reports…
Jennifer Lawrence ‘naked sex video’ will be leaked next, threatens 4Chan celebrity photo hacker
The so far unidentified hacker – who released the original naked photos online yesterday – said that he or she is accepting Paypal donations for the video.
“I know no one will believe me, but i have a short lawrence video,” wrote the hacker.
“Is way too short, a little over 2 minutes and you only get to see her boobs.”
“Anyways, if somebody wants it let me know how i can upload it anonymously (i dont want the FBI over me, and you don’t wanna know how I got this video.)”
Oh the horror, what is this world coming to. Meanwhile in Iraq, Syria, and Ukraine…
