I’m a fan of the whole Apple ecosystem but I have to say that there’s a pattern here. Apple does a decent job of keeping my data safe from others but a terrible job of keeping it intact. From music libraries with song titles that got switched to long integers to this (and I’m sure more that I’m not remembering atm) they need to do a better job here.

Sure security is important but integrity is too.

It's a little embarrassing that people are still pushing that particular conspiracy theory a decade after it was debunked.

Not only was "Celebgate" the consequence of a standard phishing attack, but we know from court records that a larger number of Google accounts were breached than Apple accounts.

> A Pennsylvania court has sentenced a man to 18 months in jail for hacking into the accounts of celebrities and stealing nude photos and videos.

Collins tricked his victims - including actresses Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Scarlett Johansson, and Kirsten Dunst - by sending emails appearing be from Google or Apple.

Collins accessed at least 50 iCloud accounts and 72 Gmail accounts.
