It is a crime for sure but the sad part is that this hacker will get 10 years or some crazy amount of prison time while child molesters, rapists, and animal cruelty get such soft sentencing. But yeah it's a celeb so give them the most time and use all funds to get the guy.
Money, power and media always wins I guess.

Just been reading some stuff on reddit after a friend sent me the link. According to some this whole thing started when a ripper sold the celeb photos on Sunday night on an anonymous image board site. The photos that were leaked online were bought by the person or people who bought it from the ripper... or something along those lines... there were a lot of posts to read.
It seems like the original iCloud ripper has yet to be identified and it wasn't clear if the person who sold the photos was the original ripper. Apparently there was a big breakthrough in iCloud rips a few days ago which is probably when they acquired the photos. It's not difficult to access the iCloud accounts, you need minimal email and password information of an iCloud account to get the backups. They were hesitant to call them hackers because it is so easy. It is however completely illegal... I think the last guy who hacked celebs accounts got a 10 year prison sentence.
On reddit there was screenshots of really lame posts made by people who were "collectors" talking about acquiring and disseminating celeb photos etc. They talk about how much time goes into acquiring the photos and how they should be financially compensated
There was also a screenshot of a supposed email conversation between someone looking for iCloud leaks and someone who specializes in iCloud leaks, they seem to be mad that someone in their inner circle leaked the photos, one email mentioned TMZ...
I hope it was okay to post this info, please delete post if it isn't, I thought it was relevant because it shows how pathetic these creeps are.

What's also sad is that these photos disappeared faster than some the ISIS jihadi suff. Western allies need to get a hold of Hollywood lawyers stat.
It's uncool IMO. I agree, it's a violation.

EXCLUSIVE
Photos purporting to show a nude Jennifer Lawrence are making their way around on the Internet as part of what appears to be a massive celebrity hacking campaign.
The photos claiming to be of Lawrence were taken in various locations -- some of them appear to be taken in a dressing room, while others are more intimate. Some of the photos show the woman who is allegedly Lawrence taking the photos herself, while others appear to be taken by someone else.
A few of the photos show what appears to be Lawrence in various bathing suits ... but others are fully nude.
There are a ton of other partially nude photos of celebrities posted today ... the alleged victims include Kate Upton, Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande, Kirsten Dunst, Hope Solo, Krysten Ritter, Yvonne Strahovski, and Teresa Palmer.
Lawrence's spokespeople tell TMZ, "This is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence."
We're reaching out to the reps for the women involved. So far, no word back ...

This is why you shouldn't click on the naked photos of Jennifer Lawrence
by Clementine Ford
In whats being called the biggest celebrity hacking incident in internet history, more than 100 female celebrities have had their private nude images stolen and published online. The bulk of the images posted have been officially confirmed as belonging to Jennifer Lawrence, but a complete list of victims names - including Krysten Ritter, Kate Upton, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rihanna, Brie Larson and Kirsten Dunst - has been subsequently published. (Link does not contain pictures, only names.)
The images were first uploaded by an anonymous member of the underground internet sewer known as 4chan and have since been enthusiastically shared across platforms like Reddit and Twitter. A representative for Lawrence has confirmed the images are real, condemning the theft of them as a flagrant violation of privacy and adding that The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos.
There are a few different issues that a criminal act like this brings up, but before I get into them its necessary to make one thing clear: If you deliberately seek out any of these images, you are directly participating in the violation not just of numerous womens privacy but also of their bodies. These images - which I have not seen and which I will not look for - are intimate, private moments belonging only to the people who appear in them and who they have invited to see them. To have those moments stolen and broadcast to the world is an egregious act of psychic violence which constitutes a form of assault.
The people sharing these images are perpetuating an ongoing assault. The people gleefully looking at them are witnessing and enjoying an ongoing assault. When you have been asked by victims of a crime like this not to exacerbate the pain of that crime and you continue to do so anyway, you are consciously deciding that your enjoyment, your rights and perhaps even just your curiosity are more important than the safety and dignity of the people youre exploiting.
That out of the way, lets get a few other things straight.
1. This is not a scandal
Its a crime, and we should be discussing it as such. Some media outlets are salaciously reporting it otherwise, as if the illegal violation of privacy involving intimate images is little more than subject for gossip. When associated with sex, the word scandal has been typically interpreted as something that assigns responsibility to all parties involved, a consensual act unfortunately discovered and for which everyone owes an explanation or apology. Remember when private nude photos of Vanessa Hudgens (whose name also appears on the list of victims) were leaked online and Disney forced her to publicly apologise for her lapse in judgment and hoped she had learned a valuable lesson? Never mind that Hudgens was an adult and a victim of privacy violation - the scandal was painted as something for which she owed her fans an apology. Which leads us to:
2. These women do not only have themselves to blame
While depressing, its sadly unsurprising to see some people arguing that Lawrence et al brought this on themselves. Part of living in a rape culture is the ongoing expectation that women are responsible for protecting themselves from abuse, and that means avoiding behaviour which might be later exploited by the people who are conveniently never held to account for their actions. But women are entitled to consensually engage in their sexuality any way they see fit. If that involves taking nude self portraits for the enjoyment of themselves or consciously selected others, thats their prerogative.
Victims of crime do not have an obligation to accept dual responsibility for that crime. Women who take nude photographs of themselves are not committing a criminal act, and they shouldnt expect to become victims to one, as actress Mary E. Winstead pointed out on Twitter.
Sending a photograph of your breasts to one person isnt consenting to having the whole world see those breasts, just as consenting to sex with one person isnt the same as giving permission for everyone else to fu*k you. Victim blaming isnt okay, even if it does give you a private thrill to humiliate the female victims of sexual exploitation.
3. It doesnt matter that damn, she looks good and should own it!
Stealing and sharing the private photographs of women doesnt become less of a crime just because you approve them for fapping activity. Im sure many of the women on this list are confident of their sexual attractiveness. It doesnt mean they dont value their privacy or shouldnt expect to enjoy the same rights to it as everyone else. It also doesnt mean they want strangers sweating over their images. That line of thinking comes from the same school which instructs women to either ignore of welcome sexual harassment when its seemingly positive in its sentiments.
None of these women are likely to give a f*ck that you think their bodies are tight, damn. Despite what society reinforces to us about the public ownership of womens bodies, we are not entitled to co-opt and objectify them just because we think we can defend it as a compliment.
I will not be seeking out these images out and I urge everyone else to avoid doing the same. I hope that all the women who have been victimised here are being appropriately supported by the authorities and their network of friends. And I hope sincerely that more people take a stand against this kind of behaviour.
Because this incident aside, it strikes me as deeply ironic that we will vehemently protest a free Facebook messenger app because were outraged at reports that it can access our phones numbers, and yet turn around and excuse the serving up of womens bodies for our own pleasure. Our appreciation is no less disgusting just because its accompanied by the sound of one hand clapping.

Did a bug in iCloud's 'Find My iPhone' function help 4chan hacker steal nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and 100 other celebrities? 
Nude photographs of Jennifer Lawrence - as well as photographs that purportedly show multiple A-list celebrities including Kirsten Dunst, Kim Kardashian and Cara Delevingne - have leaked online. Reps for Lawrence confirmed to MailOnline that the photos of her are real. 'This is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence,' Bryna Rifkin and Liz Mahoney said in an emailed statement. ' Other alleged victims include Kelly Brook, Cat Deeley, Rihanna and Cara Delevingne. However, Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice and pop star Ariana Grande have denied their nude photographs were published. Some of Justice's fans have said on Twitter her image was taken from a G-rated selfie and Photoshopped.

Putting something in 'Cloud storage' is putting it on the web. If you put it on the web, don't be surprised if it surfaces someday, somewhere, when you least expect it.
If you don't want it out here, don't put it out here. Keep it on physical media like a thumb drive or XD/SD card.
