Another quote from the same article. http://macdailynews.com/2014/09/01/apples-icloud-not-likely-the-source-of-naked-celebrity-photos-and-videos-leak/ “Ferguson suggests that the hacker may have used the “forgot password” link on Apple’s iCloud system after gathering the celebrities’ email addresses – perhaps from the address book of another hacked device. Alternatively, the stars used the same password on multiple services, which were captured through that.” I am sure we will find out the source eventually, but even if it wasnt iCloud, the fact that Apple allowed a simple brute force method to guess passwords is beyond awful. How could that get past their security teams? Slacker
