This doesn't worry me, but what if someone hacks into the Languish Flickr group.  :unsure:

So apparently Apple is saying this is the result of an attack targetting the celebrities in question's actual account login's, not a hack of the storage in general.

In other words, they managed to figure out their username/password by correctly answering or spoofing security questions.

Ooops.

Yes, but apparently the system allowed the hackers to use brute force techniques - try 1000s of passwords until one worked.

Somebody tried to hack my Facebook account yesterday. Does this mean I'm a celeb?

Actually they were saying the real problem was with Security QUestions.

You've forgotten your password? No worries, we can reset it!

What is your mothers maiden name? BECAUSE NOBODY COULD FIGURE THAT OUT FOR A CELEBRITY....

Siege, I'm unsure which path the singularity will take us...

On the one hand, the singularity will be able to crack any security system, and thus provide us with naked selfies of all hot celebrities.

On the other hand, the singularity will be able to design secure systems that are unhackable, denying us naked selfies of any hot celebrities.

Which do you see as the true way of the singularity?

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I'm really interested in the answers to questions like this one. I can't wait for the singularity to tell us what they are.

I'm expecting the Singularity will allow us to have virtual sex with any hot celebrity we want. Or maybe actual sex with a replica.  :hmm:

Singularity's just going to fuck with our private space and Me Time.  Might as well get married.
