The iCloud, Apple and Security
The iCloud is a collection of computers linked to the internet. Users of this service can upload information for storage and retrieval. Such services are popular because they allow a user to store massive amounts of data including images and retrieve them from virtually any place on earth and at any time of the day. In order to use the service one simply needs to enter a username and password. Unlike most online services the iCloud service gave users unlimited attempts to do this without locking the service. Now, according to the Wall Street Journal Apple is going to add security alerts for iCloud users among other steps to deal with the nude photo hacking issue.
Apple Inc. AAPL -0.20% said it plans additional steps to keep hackers out of user accounts, but denied that a lax attitude toward security had allowed intruders to post nude photos of celebrities on the Internet.
The steps that Apple intends to take apparently include limiting the number of times that a hacker can try to test usernames and passwords to enter an account and notification of users when someone tries to enter their iCloud account.

5. So, if you have hiding in a cave
in the Rocky Mountains for the

stars including the female with
the highest grossing action
movies ever, Jennifer Lawrence,
are upset.
7. They apparently took nude
photos selfies (photos of yourself
taken by yourself with a digital
camera or phone camera) and
then saved the images in their
supposedly secure folders in the
Apple iCloud service.

many young women trusted an
online service with something so
near and dear to them.
13. The iCloud is a collection of
computers linked to the

14. Such services are popular
because they allow a user to

including images and retrieve
them from virtually any place on
earth and at any time of the day.
15. In order to use the service one
simply needs to enter a
username and password.
16. Unlike most online services the
iCloud service gave users
unlimited attempts to do this
without locking the service.
17. Now, according to the Wall
Street Journal Apple is going
to add security alerts for iCloud
users among other steps to deal
with the nude photo hacking
issue.
18. Apple Inc. AAPL -0.20% said it
plans additional steps to keep
hackers out of user accounts,
but denied that a lax attitude
toward security had allowed
intruders to post nude photos of
celebrities on the Internet.
19. The steps that Apple intends to

made defective products and
whose products were thus
frequently and justifiably
attacked by hackers.
28. Apple was seen as a good guy
and usually not attacked. Now
Apple is a big and prosperous
company and could be seen as
not really caring about the
security concerns of its users.
29. Will the nude photo uproar hurt
Apple stock? If the likes of
Jennifer Lawrence begin to star
in commercials for competing
products and services and the
hacker world moves in mass to
attack Apple products it could
make a difference in the Apple
bottom line.
