The Fappening

There's been a major hack of the apple iCloud, and several celebrity women have had nude pictures stolen or leaked, among them Jennifer Lawrence, Ariana Grande, Aubrey Plaza, Kate Upton and a bunch more I can't be bothered to remember. The perpetrator is releasing the pictures in dribs and drabs on 4chan, and claims there are movies, too, but is asking for bitcoins before he releases those. The event has been dubbed "the fappening," and naturally it has its own subreddit already.

Just shows ta go ya, nothing digital is safe.

Also, Lawrence's agent has apparently never heard of the Streisand Effect.

This whole thing sickens me. Talk about an invasion of privacy. Yes, I'm that guy. The guy who reported every thread without looking at them. I did look at the first few until I realized what was happening. Reddit decries the NSA yet doesn't seem to mind if the things hacked gets them off. Fucking hypocrites.

I got really confused earlier; the Jennifer Lawrence leaks showed up on my Tumblr dashboard and I think the girls reblogging them from a LGTB blog didn't know they were leaks against her will since the captions were going "thank you" and "you're so beautiful", as if Lawrence had wanted those out there. It was surreal.

Obviously the fact that this happened in disgusting, and I agree with Dave about the whole anti-NSA, pro-invasion of privacy being hypocritical bullshit.[DOUBLEPOST=1409546569,1409546425][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, this is the same iCloud issue that hadn't been fixed while Apple continued to ping people about logging into it. Yay.

I honestly thought Jennifer Lawrence's were on purpose at first because her Hunger Games co-star Jena Malone had done so a couple months back. Funny thing, when it's the celebrity's choice, no one talks about it. When the photos are stolen and released against her will, it's big news (plus apparently they're sluts--cause that makes fucking sense. People are fucking stupid.)

I wasn't able to find anything specific. There was a certificate breach a while back, but that got fixed. I am assuming this was done via the same process as the iCloud "ransomeware" thing except that instead of locking the phone and demanding payment, the attacker either harvested pictures at that time or else turned on the Photo Stream sharing to be able to lurk any uploaded photos for later.[DOUBLEPOST=1409577592,1409577540][/DOUBLEPOST]

I looked at them. I even posted a link to them all in the NSFW subforum. But then my guilty conscience surged and I deleted it. Dave's right. It's a huge invasion of privacy. There's nothing wrong with these women taking sexy or nude pictures, but they were for PRIVATE eyes. Not private eyes in the Dill sense, mind you.

But yeah, now I just feel bad about the whole situation. Hell, I even said something like "Well, they should've taken the pictures in the first place." But someone I follow on Twitter put it perfectly: that's the internet equivilant of saying "she shouldn't have worn something that revealing."

At the moment no one is certain that it's an iCloud hack. That's merely the most likely reason.

Further, "hack" would likely be overstating it. The data, including photos, are encrypted in transit and on the iCloud servers. You have to know the user's apple account username (email, easy to get) and password (often the same password they use on less secure services which have suffered data breaches).

One of the downsides of the cloud. A reason to use two factor authentication when available, though apple hasn't done this yet.

It's possible that this comes from a more serious breach or breaking of iCloud. Time will tell. But the breaches that have been occurring since the SSL fix all seem to be simple knowledge of account credentials.

Use different passwords for each service you use. Use strong passwords. Use two factor authentication where possible. Don't store anything in the cloud that you consider particularly sensitive, or can't afford to lose.

I can barely remember my street address most days, let alone 10 different strong passwords.

Use song lyrics with a couple numbers at the end.

Also, for unimportant sites, I think it's okay to use a same password between them. The crucial stuff is where you need something unique to that one, like primary email, a site you regularly buy stuff from, etc.

2FA is available, but only to protect the use of the account itself (logging into the website, changing personal info, or associating new devices with the account). It is not used to directly encrypt any of that content (except possibly in transit).

http://venturebeat.com/2014/09/01/h...tential-access-to-celebrities-private-photos/

The service that runs find my iPhone did not have basic brute force protections in place, allowing relatively simple brute force programs to guess passwords as long as you knew the account email.

This vulnerability was found and distributed within the last week or two, so it's likely that this was used for this attack, and that it wasn't a more general attack on non celebrities.

They think this may have happened at the Emmys. Apparently there's an unsecured wi-fi connection for anyone to use there, and a vulnerability that allowed someone to use this connection to gain access to anyone's account that was using the iPhone or an iCloud device.

Purely conjecture at this point, though it seems likely to have had such a range of access.

http://www.wallofsheep.com/pages/wall-of-sheep

Many connections (such as iCloud, web banking, many email providers, etc) use https at a minimum as the default, so these would not be affected. However, there's no guarantee that the attendees were practicing "safe computing" while they were attending the festivities, which would've likely at least leaked their email addresses, allowing someone to start the brute force process.

Necronic

This whole thig is interesting on a lot of levels, and has made me have to re-evaluate a lot of stuff. Honestly, I really don know how I feel about this.

My first inclination was to get on board with the whole "this is so incredibly wrong!" shtick. Then I started really wondering what Jennifer Lawrence looked like naked, and I think I tried to rationalize looking at it.

Then I ran across a reddit post talking about whether or not this will start a conversation about candid pornography. Large amounts of the amatuer porn on the internet either gives no reason to believe there is no consent in the posting, or actively promotes the idea that there *isnt* consent (like those "revenge porn" sites). Ironically, the latter usually has consent and is just a gimmick, but there is a LOT of amatuer porn out there that does not have consent.

Thing is, I enjoy amatuer porn. Not because it doesn't have consent, I just like real amatuer stuff.

So it begs the question. Is it worse that if it's a celebrity or a nobody? Why? Does that even matter? If not, why weren't we talkin about this before?

Because let's be honest, while the scope of this leak is unprecedented, conceptually it's nt that different from paparazzi sites or celebrity sex tapes that have been leaked before. Lots of people actually used the Ke$ha pics as an excuse to call her a nasty slag.

Anyways. This whole thing has been weird for me, because all of what I said may seem like an argument for it being ok for me to look at JLaws funbags, but they are also an argument for me giving up all the amatuer porn I like. I just don't know which way to go with this.

If it had just been one celebrity would it have been easier to ignore?

I still haven't looked at the pics yet....but I probably will. I think it's good that the conversation is happening though, and I hope it goes beyond a conversation lamenting the plight of these celebrities, who, while they have absolutely been violated, are a very small drop in a very large bucket of non-consensual amatuer porn.

Ed: maybe it's like the Freddy Mercury/Rock Hudson thing. Even if there are lots of victims, celebrities being victimized helps spread awareness. So maybe, in a weird way, there's a silver lining.


#63

Bowielee

Bowielee

I think there is a real discussion to be had, and this ties a lot into the ongoing discussions we've been having regarding women, sexism, and privilege.

I won't rehash the whole thing, but this is really wrong any way you slice it. Even if it's not because of the pornographic nature, I think we can all agree that having ANY person pictures or info stolen from your computer is a violation. Imagine that this wasn't naked pictures of these celebrities, but rather their personal email addresses. I don't think anyone would have a problem calling that wrong, but there would still be people who would be tempted to go ahead and use those personal emails for whatever reason that you would want to, even if your intent isn't malicious, you're still exploiting a violation of someone's privacy and that's wrong, ethically and legally if not morally.

I'm not saying that doesn't mean that there will be people who use this and have no issue with it. People do stuff that's wrong all the time. I, for instance, "procure" quite a bit of television, and I don't feel the slightest bit bad about it, even though I know that it is wrong.

My biggest issue is that people are going to use all sorts of justifications. If you want to JO to pictures of Jennifer Lawrence, knock yourself out, just don't try to justify it under any cloak of vindication because there's really none to be had.


#64

Necronic

Necronic

No, there's definitely no justification. And honestly, I looked at a couple and...meh. I mean, I don't see the draw from the viewer angle. Maybe if I was younger, I dunno. But porn is so god damned prolific and specific these days, what in the world do I get out of a still of a celebrity?

As a side question, and I REALLY want to be clear that i am not blaming the victim here, but I am really surprised so many of the have nude pics on their phones. Is this a common thing for people to do?

I took a picture of my ball sack and sent it to my brother once, but that's about it.

...Oh actually I do have a sex tape. If anyone has seen Bad Neighbours there's that scene where Seth Rogan is on top of his wife and his fat rolls are everywhere, that's what my video looks like. It's not great. I should probably delete it,

This is about the same as going into someone's house and rifling through their stuff to see what you can find. It's theft and harassment, plain and simple.

Hmm. Do you blame the locks for not being tough enough, or the thieves for not respecting the boundary? At what point does it become appropriate to violate the guardianship of any recognizeable* means of protection, simply because it is so flimsy? Is there such a thing as a lock or other method of protection which, instead of advertising "keep out," instead acts all sultry and says, "you want what's behind me, you need to tear me away right now and see what I'm hiding."

This might sound like a thought experiment (and it is, somewhat), but it has real-world relevance, especially as regards things like WiFi WEP encryption or the DMCA, since apparently, in order to prove to a court that you were intentionally trying to protect a thing, you have to demonstrate that bypassing your protection method must be non-trivial (i.e., ROT13 or the like). Also, there is then the question of whether the thing needed (or even deserved) to be protected in the first place (DRM, etc).

the reality is that these celebrities are very careful who they hand out their phone number to. They are careful to protect their privacy in a variety of ways that the average person doesn't. They've seen and heard of data breaches in the news, and they've no doubt known individuals in their line of work who's privacy was violated through phone or internet or computer hacking. Maybe this is still surprising to many of them. It's not their fault, but you can bet they are going to change their behavior to reduce their exposure to this type of attack.
This is how the usual immune response works. There is a breach of some sort, a defense is mounted and deployed, and further breaches are therefore mitigated. It sucks for those caught up in the initial breach, but their sacrifice ensures the safety of the rest.
Apple and other device makers will beef up their security significantly, because celebrities hold a lot of sway in the advertising of such products. Even if the device makers can't be blamed, you can be sure they'll attempt to set people at ease, or tout their security features in the face of competitors obvious failures.
They'd better, since they've already suggested they're moving to a model where all your photos are stored online by default.
re: the fappening... you ever wonder why there's no celeb dick pics leaked yet??? hum.....
No, I don't wonder this at all. It's the same reason there aren't any nude photos leaked of Queen Elizabeth, Joan Rivers, or Shirley MacLaine. I mean, they're all women, and that means their nudie pictures should be in rabid demand, right? Unfortunately for them, this is probably not the case.

I think some people are making the mistake of filing this alongside posting pics on the web and getting upset when they start being distributed from there. And that's not at all what's happened here. I would view it like this:

If you walk around naked in your house, with the blinds open in full daylight, you maybe shouldn't be upset if your neighbors see you. But you can totally be upset if someone breaks down your door to peep at you in the shower.

The celebrity pictures were the "attractive nuisance" in question that encouraged people to hack iCloud. Apple would be the one liable, if anyone, according to that tort.

Better, edited version below. Read that one. Nothing to see here...

OK, the main reason that the attractive nuisance is a horrible example is because the owner of the object and the object itself are still the women, placing the blame on them for being so damn alluring that the poor weak men (equated in this example as children who don't know any better) that they can't help themselves but trample all over someone else's property.

And I guess the injury would be from masturbation cramps?

I get what PatrThom is really trying to say, I think. I believe he's putting the fault on the security breach itself, not the original owner of the content.

The celebrity pictures were the "attractive nuisance" in question that encouraged people to hack iCloud. Apple would be the one liable, if anyone, if that tort applied. However, if you read the doctrine, blame shifts from the trespassers to the landowner ONLY IF certain conditions are met, chief among them being that there has to be a reasonable expectation that the trespassers are either ignorant of or unable to comprehend that what they are doing is wrong. I do not believe the trespassers would pass that test, in this case.

No, I'm objectifying their photographs. Which are...um, objects. And I'm placing blame on the breachers, not the breachees. It's really hard to say whether Apple or the celebrities are the "victims" in this case, since technically both were violated.

I'm kind of reminded of the Maginot Line, in a way. The perpetrators did not attack the celebrities directly, instead they did so through a weakened intermediary.

Regardless of how they obtained the photos, the intended attack is on the celebrity.

Possessor, not owner, and only if certain tests are met, yes.
The five conditions are:
  • The place where the condition exists is one on which the possessor knows or has reason to know that children are likely to trespass, and
  • The condition is one of which the possessor knows or has reason to know and which he realizes or should realize will involve an unreasonable risk of death or serious bodily harm to such children, and
  • The children, because of their youth, do not discover the condition or realize the risk involved in inter-meddling with it or in coming within the area made dangerous by it, and
  • The utility to the possessor of maintaining the condition and the burden of eliminating the danger are slight as compared with the risk to children involved, and
  • The possessor fails to exercise reasonable care to eliminate the danger or otherwise to protect the children
The test fails spectacularly on points 3 and 5, and also 2 if you want to get literal on the "bodily harm" part.
Also, not all of my analogies can be gold. It's obvious that I'm relating situational mechanics and not actually stating that the doctrine should literally apply any more than I'm stating that said photos were protected behind actual pre-WWII fortifications.

Yes, and John Hinckley, Jr. was still charged with the shooting of James Brady and his two buddies even though the attack was technically supposed to be "only" on President Reagan.

Honestly, I wonder if I'm just not explaining my thoughts well enough, if the issue is just too emotionally active to have a rational discussion about it, or whether I'm just sailing way over people's heads. This must be how @GasBandit feels.

Are you kidding? Charlie would fold like a lawn chair and cry in a fetal position for 3 hours before calling the militant police that he so despises and proceed to call a lawyer to sue. He'd then blog about male aggression and feminist theory in his Tumblr account for days - wagging his finger on how the puncher should go to prison because that sort of violence has no place in society, before the lawyer called him back and told him to grow a pair.

Actually, it'd be hilarious if it was a black woman that would punch Charlie. I don't think he'd know what to do. "Male privilege...white privilege....oh... oh God... Contradictions. I.. deserve this." I think it'd break his brain.

Double honking like that implies that you're grabbing a female's breasts in an act of white male dominance. You better check your privilege, shitlord.

Do you go around drawing swastikas, claiming they're ancient symbols of protection too? You Nazi sympathizer! Honking twice like that is clearly alluding to grabbing female breasts. I bet you even made the hand motions that come along with it, you filthy shitlord! And now you're claiming clowns are something that is there to amuse you? Something! Get it? You don't even see clowns as people; you're objectifying them as something that exists only to allow you to point your smelly finger and laugh. Where do you get off, you white, male privileged ass?

Funny enough, I took several women's studies classes in college, along with classes on 19th and 20th century colonialism and American slavery. Most of the posters around here are pretty well versed and educated in those and a variety of subjects. I actually wish you knew what the fuck you were talking about half the time.

Allright - I'll be that guy. No I don't blame the women, nothing wrong with what they did or continue to do in the future. But genie's out of the bottle and so forth, so I checked out the link that Nick posted in the NSFW.

from the small portion of what I saw, there wasn't anything that extraordinary. I was expecting basically a bunch of bathroom mirror selfies fresh out of the shower or maybe a nip slip here or there. For the most part that's what you got. I don't even remember most of the people that had linked pics, most I had to even google why they were famous.

The JLaw pics were more than I expected, with a couple on a couch that were quite beautiful (think Playboy quality)

The Kate Upton pics were about what I expected with a few exceptions. She's a swimsuit model, so you've basically already seen most of her jumbly-bits before. Her um, catalog, was by far the most voluminous - with occasional pics of some other woman and Verlander junk in there. There were a few though, that were "Penthouse quality". A couple of faceless crotch shots & one "money shot".

There were some Brie Larson shots that were nothing more than unbuttoned oxfords revealing little. A bunch of supposed fake pics, a couple of Glee stars, one of which was hardcore quality, and a couple of Olivia Munn pics. You have to take their word for that since both of them were headless.

All in all, not that exciting for porn addicts, but I guess it was a heyday for giggling schoolboys in parochial boys' rooms.

Sounds good. I'm still good friends with two of them, one being the chair of the women's issues and LGBT group at my alma mater. The other was revolutionary in his area of African colonialism and exclusively focuses on the sociology of the colonizer and colonized.

Like always, NC, you got no bite behind your bark. I suggest you brush up on the philosophy of argument because you're logos is seriously fucked by your pathos and total lack of ethos.


#236

The problem is that NC has never experienced real oppression, and he takes it upon himself to be the voice of the oppressed. His wet dream is to be a white Messiah to all those poor wretches that can't speak for or take care of themselves. Because he's never been a victim of such circumstances, he is oversensitive to the slightest infringements. Such is the MO of most SJWs. People that have experienced oppression tend to let minor infringements slide or regard them as unimportant.

What's funny to me is that it's an almost exact opposite of reality.

In reality, people who routinely face hardship tend to be significantly more resilient; if for no other reason than sheer necessity. To the actually oppressed microaggressions aren't on the same level as hate crimes - they're not even noticed. There is a reason why you don't hear people saying "my boss forced us to work overtime off the clock and threatened to have us deported if we complained but what really gets me is that some dude told me to smile the other day on the bus" or "the police beat me to a bloody pulp while screaming 'stop resisting', but instead let's talk about how fucked up it is that Assassin's Creed IV isn't going to allow character customization wtf EA?!" These statements would be ridiculous; if one were to make either of them then a rational person would likely assume the first part of the sentence is a lie.

Conversely, people who have never faced actual hardship tend to be a bit over sensitive to minor inconveniences, if only because they have no frame of reference with which to compare them to. These are people whose biggest problems to date have been "sometimes people disagree with my opinions even though I'm certain that my opinions are objectively correct", and everything kind of gets re-balanced on that scale. To them, failing to acknowledge that they're totally a trans-racial agendered biromantic demiboy who just happens to look like a middle class white girl is in fact oppression. It's roughly equal to the greatest hardships they've faced, and they simply don't realize that precious few people are fortunate to live such care-free lives.

I think the moral here is that allowing the least vulnerable, most privileged people in our society the right to impersonate, speak on the behalf of, and often silence actually oppressed people is a really, really bad thing. Sadly, I don't see anything changing in the immediate future. So many of them are so convinced that they're doing good and anyone who disagrees is evil, and such a mindset doesn't change easily.

Up to a point. It's educated rich white guys standing up for, and supporting, the poor and uneducated masses that helped bring about general voting, labor laws, minimum wages, free/subsidized obligatory education, and so forth. I wouldn't want to still be in 19th-century Europe. Hey, it's the white abolitionist movement and white politics that helped end (very strongly reduce for the oversensitive) slave labor and segregation in the US.
I'm not saying "those poor blackies needed white men to stand up for them" or anything of the kind ,by the way, nor am I implying anything like it. I'm just saying that, certainly here, the social fight was fought predominantly by rich folks who felt sympathetic to the poor and thought they deserved human rights and a humane life as well - the poor rising up is nice and romantic, but not realistic, throughout history. By far the largest part of the poor uneducated masses are perfectly happy staying poor and uneducated - especially when they're kept in the dark and don't know what they're missing. It's the minority who wants change, helped by people from the aristocracy/top layer who agree, who bring about change.
