The celebs just need to be smart about how they handle it. Someone like Jennifer Lawrence needs to let her people handle any media for a while until things die down a little. Ultimately the vast majority of people out there will be very sympathetic to the invasion of privacy even though most will definitely check out the pics. Lawrence should then properly manage her appearances in about a month, go on Kimmel or Fallen and strike the proper balance between being upset and embarrassed with taking it in stride. If anything, this will only help the celebs affected if they handle it right.

 
I said in the other thread that 8/31/14 changes everything. I was not be over dramatic but I think this massive hack pretty much shows everyone that nothing is safe from anyone.

 
If I'm lawrence, I call samsung and tell them to give be x million dollars and I'll film an ad for the galaxy promoting it's camera. The law will handle the hacker. Everyone else will act outraged. Just say, "yup, you've now seen me naked" and find a way to get paid.

She and Upton are just amazingly unreal

 
I think it'll largely help all involved. Frankly, I have no idea how anyone could say it's going to hurt anybody's career.

Very few of the pics are even all that salacious. 99% are no different than what Scar Jo revealed in Under the Skin.

Even the one's that are, ultimately aren't a huge deal.

People like these girls already, and this makes them sympathetic figures. JLaw and Upton got the worst end of it so far, and you can already see fans rallying around them.

For the rest, most didn't even know who they were, so it's quite a bit of publicity for them.

It's horrible that these girls didn't get a say in this, but it'll ultimately help all of their careers.

I was familiar with Hunger Games, but I really did not know her name until now. This type of publicity will do nothing but help her. Verlander on the otherhand.... :oldunsure:

 
I'm not sure how Verlander rebounds from this.

I mean, how will a man ever overcome the world having knowledge and evidence that he is in fact banging a supermodel and showering her with his seed.

I'm not sure how he can ever step foot in a locker room again with this shame.

 
Agree, people need to have the understanding that nothing is safe. You can buy locks and safes for your home, but if you have something valuable, people will find a way to get in.

Not sure this does anything to the careers of those involved. Probably ends up costing more than a few people their jobs, when they can't resist looking at pictures on company computers.

Overall, I don't think the pictures as a whole, are that great. Mainly because I never heard of 90% of the people. It must be the voyeurism angle of this that turns people on.

I would argue there are better looking, and better photographed pictures on the internet.

I wasn't too impressed with the photos, either. It was simply a "we haven't seen her boobs yet" curiosity.

 
Not really understanding the upton excitement. She didnt exactly leave much to imagination in her SI swimsuit shots. Its a girl we've all seen almost neked, now fully neked.

Lawrence - thats a different story.

 
I tried to warn all you about iphones and non-removable storage with cloud access years ago. Did any of them listen to me, no. Thank god.

If you really want to shoot noods on a cameraphone then do it with a encrypted SD card on an android. It's not bulletproof, but it's about as good as you are going to be able to do.

The only fun part of this was the geeks proving that the Victoria Justice pictures were real. That was some excellent work :)

 
My thought is that they now need to leak nude shots of famous black, Asian, and Indian chicks. The current pics weren't representative of 21st Century America. Celebrate Diversity!

Yeah, mostly this. JL seems to be the kind of celebrity that could do this and it would work - she seems real enough that IMO those would be her actual feelings.

 
I don't think these hurt anyone. None of them are really hard core. Kate's probably come the closest. I thought Lawrence's looked kind of artsy. And if you give people cameras they are going to take pictures. This will continue to happen because, well, people. Someone will likely get prosecuted but who knows? If the hacker is good they may have no clue where to start looking.

 
Nothing really happens with the women's careers either way.

Apple and the Cloud get terrible PR, but not much changes either way.

The incident does get Congress interested enough to do something.

The hackers who did this go to jail for a long time.

 
If anything, this puts out in public, in a very acute manner, the lack of privacy in today's world.

I think the free market creates some mechanism for "more secure" or "secure guarantees" in regard to digital property that is held in the cloud. New security proceedures, programs, perhaps legislation, but it's the market that will need to figure it out... if people are actually that concerned about their privacy to begin with.

They are concerned until inconvenienced by security. They hate having to change passwords. They hate not using the same password for everywhere they log in. They want easy. Fine we can do easy. Easy isn't as secure as hard though.

Most of the people who know this are tied up with Star Wars or Renaissance festivals.

Perhaps this will accelerate the use of biometrics. (Not that that would be a perfect solution.)

There are problems with biometrics. There is a certain percentage of the population whose hands are to dry to make fingerprints consistently and of course there are ways to fake the print.. Also we have seen demonstrated how to fake out a retina scan.

It's easier to find your finger print than it is your password (people leave them everywhere). Even sites that use biometrics for physical/logical access control typically have 3 types of authentication (bio, password & card).

Actually never been on an internet site that used biometrics. But regardless if you are remote to the site faking everything is in play. Passwords are easy enough to find. Cards are easy enough to get and replicate. And prints can be faked. Now that is a lot of trouble to go through but some people will go to extreme lengths.

Also, NOT putting naked pictures of yourself on your phone seems to be pretty easy and probably should be the first step towards solid security.

Update: And who the #### walks around with naked pictures of THEMSELVES on their cellphone? What does that say about you?
