Nude Photos Leaking Out Linked To System Hacked
On August 31st, an anonymous user of an image-sharing forum, 4chan, posted hundreds of nude photos of some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities. Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence has contacted authorities to investigate who stole and posted nude images of her online. A spokesman for the FBI said the agency was aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high-profile individuals, and would start investigation into the matter.
NBC News said Apple Co iCloud accounts had apparently been hacked for the photos. The first step to protect our privacy both online or off isn't to demand for a stronger cloud storage service, nor is it to insist that women stop taking secret photos of themselves. It is to take these crimes seriously and hold their executors accountable. People who leak or re-upload the hacked images are guilty. And those who actively seek those photos are involved in the cycle of privacy violence.
Reports suggest hackers attacked Apple's Find My Phone feature to figure out account passwords and gain access. The hack is a reminder to practice proper password etiquette. For many sites, users can opt to turn on an extra layer of security called two-factor authentication. When two-factor authentication is enabled, a user will receive a special code sent to their mobile device once they have entered a password. After entering the code, users gain access to their accounts. Surely, it is a bit of an inconvenience, but better than cleaning up after your account has been compromised.
裸照外洩源於駭客入侵
一名匿名用戶於八月三十一日在圖片分享論壇4chan張貼百張好萊塢巨星的裸照。奧斯卡影后珍妮佛勞倫斯日前已請求相關當局調查在網路上竊取並散布她本人圖像的主使者。美國聯邦調查局FBI的發言人表示,他們已知曉這起關於電腦入侵以及非法發布公眾人物資料的指控,並會開始著手調查。
美國國家廣播公司NBC指出,蘋果公司的iCloud雲端服務系統顯然是被駭客入侵,外人才得以取得帳戶中的照片。不論是上線或是離線狀態,保護個人隱私的第一要務並不是要求更強大的儲存服務,也不是主張女性停止拍攝私密照片,而是嚴肅正視這種犯罪行為,並要主事者負起應當的法律責任,因為洩漏或在其他平台上傳非法駭得的照片是有罪的;而積極搜尋這些照片的行為無疑是參與了侵犯隱私的暴力。
報導顯示,駭客攻擊蘋果公司「尋找手機」的功能才得以算出用戶的密碼和進入帳戶讀取資料。這起駭客事件提醒大眾密碼設定規則的重要性,許多網站都提供雙重認證的服務,用戶可以選擇是否開啟另一層安全認證作為防護;若有執行雙重認證的功能,用戶在輸入密碼後,系統會立即發送一組特殊序號至他們的行動裝置,用戶在輸入該組序號後才能進入自己的帳戶。想當然耳,這層防護造成了些許的不便,但是遠勝過於帳戶被盜用的善後處理。
