| Apple’s iCloud security turned over again And it was not even aware of it While the fruity cargo cult Apple was trying to reassure stuff that its attempts to scan users iClouds for kiddie porn were totally safe, a bloke in Los Angeles was harvesting an all you can eat buffet of user porn under its nose. Hao Kuo Chi, 40, of La Puente broke into thousands of Apple iCloud accounts and collected more than 620,000 private photos and videos in a plot to steal and share images of nude young women, federal authorities say. He has agreed to plead guilty to four felonies, including conspiracy to gain unauthorized access to a computer, court records show. Chi impersonated Apple customer support staff in emails that tricked unsuspecting victims into providing him with their Apple IDs and passwords, according to court records. He gained unauthorised access to photos and videos of at least 306 victims across the nation, most of them young women, he acknowledged in his plea agreement with federal prosecutors in Tampa, Fla. https://fudzilla.com/news/memory-and...ned-over-again |
