re: Apple denies iCloud breach for The Fappening

Another thing worth noting is that this wasn't as simple as just taking pictures saved to photo stream. There were apparently videos and for you non Apple users, videos do not back up to photo stream. Those would have to come from phone back ups and apparently Apple's security set up does not allow back ups to be pulled down to a computer.

the videos are backed up to icloud, just not accessible via photostream. if you backed up your device to icloud then restored via icloud, your videos would be there.

That's what I'm thinking they would have to do. They would have to take an iPhone and restore it from the celebrity's iCloud back up. If they did that, they have a lot more than pictures.

Look closely at the semantics here - "None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple’s systems including iCloud® or Find my iPhone. "
So, how many cases is that? 1? 5? 25? They've clearly left themselves room to walk it back by not specifying an actual number.

Social engineering of some sort was used to obtain the IDs but a flaw in find my iphone allowed for the brute force attempts to occur. apple should have locked the IDs after multiple failed tries but it did not.
Agree with this.
I'm not a fan of strong password enforcement (it actually pisses me off most if the time), but Apple should have locked these accounts before the brute force attack succeeded.

of course they can, but even the bank that processes my student loan payments wouldn't let me have a password over 15 characters and wouldn't let me use symbols.
This. Every site will have it's own unique criteria, which will actually restrict what passwords people use.
Then what will they do? Correct, use the same damned password everywhere and be worse off.

Bet they are doing this cause the big iphone 6 event coming up.. How much you bet after that it will be fact it was a icloud hack.

Whatever it is, they're dancing all around the issues. The fact is that there was an unchecked brute force vulnerability in a very sensitive system of theirs. That's a massive oversight on their part.

all of these things can easily be enforced at the point where people are creating their password for the first time.
Please god no, passwords are already a huge pain in the arse. Biometrics is the way to go, nothing to remember or change on a constant basis.

Have not used it, but I use LastPass for managing passwords.
