who assumes all financial transactions on the internet are safe at all? you've seriously never heard of identity theft or the rate people's cards get stolen on the internet all the time? the internet isn't really all the safe at all, people's money get's stolen everyday on the internet.

Right. So does that make everyone else who continues making financial transactions online idiots? Why not? If we know the information is not secure but we do it anyway, aren't we all at least as stupid as these celebrities? Haven't we just been lucky enough not to have targeted up to this point? Is it only after you've been targeted that people get to call you an idiot for doing (apparently) literally anything online?

We ALL trust a bunch of private information online that we don't want public knowledge. If that wasn't the case, more of us would be using our real names as our forum tags. Now we aren't celebrities, but just because someone is a celebrity, doesn't mean to me that they suddenly give up all expectations of boundaries.

Rather than throwing up our hands and saying all these women were stupid, we should be pushing for more security measures online. There are all kinds of things that could be done that aren't being done. Saying its an impossible battle and we shouldn't give a shit is just wrongheaded to me. After all, it could be your daughter that gets shit like this released, or even yourself with financial data.

really it's because you aren't popular enough for someone to bother to try and get your information even then most of us have probably been compromised over the internet in some fashion like a hacked wow account or stolen CC or something.

and it is an struggle of offense/defense at least in the foreseeable future, nothing is ultimately secure on massive publicly accessible network.

If the banks didn't fix the situation cancelling charges and such people's behavior online would be totally different.

And they all had to do the "mea culpa" routine. When Sony got hacked, and that was a much more sophisticated hack, i.e. harder to stop, they issued public apologies, gave people money back, and free stuff.
Sony fault was having CC numbers not encrypted inside their system. Apple fault was having a major oversight in the amount of request per second from a single source. Remember, this was a simple brute force attack.

I have read that it was from Apple subcontracting their servers to Amazon and Microsoft who are both still vulnerable to heart bleed. I would think that Apple could save some face on that.

Speaking of privacy and Apple if you recall they had an issue with the first iPad and ATT. All the owners names and information was mined from a simple exploit. IIRC they walked away from it with zero damage and ATT took the brunt of it.

First, Microsoft uses IIS which never used OpenSSL and Amazon patched (basically no services were affected) in April. Also, that's not how the cloud (more specifically IaaS) works. Apple's web facing servers hosted on Azure/EC2 would be the responsibility of Apple to maintain. The OS/web servers they loaded onto the virtual machines are their own choice, whether they continued to use a vulnerable version of Apache with the old OpenSSL was up to them entirely.

I haven't been following the thread so I can only assume that CeeLo's hilarious rape/consent comments have been thoroughly ridiculed already...

Catfights over handbags and tears in the toilets. With her women-only TV company this producer thought she'd kissed goodbye to conflict... | Mail Online
It was an idealistic vision swiftly shattered by the nightmare reality: constant bitchiness, surging hormones, unchecked emotion, attention-seeking and fashion rivalry so fierce it tore my staff apart.It was an idealistic vision swiftly shattered by the nightmare reality: constant bitchiness, surging hormones, unchecked emotion, attention-seeking and fashion rivalry so fierce it tore my staff apart.
