Scam Of The Week: Jennifer Lawrence Nude Pictures
Scam Of The Week: Jennifer Lawrence Nude Pictures
There is a new (true) current event which unfortunately is the ultimate click bait. A hacker got into Apple's iCloud and hacked the account of Jennifer Lawrence and many other celebs. Apparently she had taken nude pictures of herself and they are all out there now. You would think these celebs would have learned by now, but no. Sigh. Apple has patched a bug that would allow brute force attacks on iCloud, and this may have been how the hack was done, or it could be simply a guessed password. The cyber mafia are already working on campaigns to exploit this event and these are going to be very enticing phishing attacks over the next few months. I would send your users something like this: "This weekend, it was all over the news that hackers leaked nude pictures of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities. The news is true, and the pictures are out there. The problem is that the bad guys are going to use this to trick people to click on links and open attachments, which will infect their computer with malware. Do not get curious and fall for these scams. Continue to 'Think Before You Click!'" |

Re: Scam Of The Week: Jennifer Lawrence Nude Pictures
Girls take boobies photos for attention, shes getting plenty of it now.
These devices are way too easy to hack, but with every public attack, the developers will learn more and more to safeguard against the next one. But for what its worth, many and most large corporations and even a lot of the smaller businesses are targeted for their lack of security and ease of access. Most get told about their issues but only a handful actually do anything about it. Usually when you see someone getting the shit hacked out of them, its because the corp either pissed off the hackers of the world, or they were warned about the issue and did nothing about it.... When the hacker is found, they get offered jail time, or a kush job at security department of the firm they just hacked... |

Re: Scam Of The Week: Jennifer Lawrence Nude Pictures
Pics and vids depicting celeb women doing things I hope we all are doing. They shouldn't be ashamed, but they should be pissed off.

Re: Scam Of The Week: Jennifer Lawrence Nude Pictures
IMO, me thinks the security minded companies will start making money soon. The paradigm is changing.

BTW: I never realized that Kate Upton is so wellllllll endowed. I knew she was big, but wow. On a side note, This theft was from Iclouds, Dropbox, and e-mail. It appears that it was not a hack by brute force, but a systematic research on social media for names, numbers, and other that people commonly use as passwords, and than the password was guessed by trial and error. So it would seem important for everyone to generate a password that is not tied in any way to our lives. Last edited by POL; 09-04-2014 at 01:01 PM. |
