Apple: iCloud breach not to blame for celebrity photo leaks

Apple: iCloud breach not to blame for celebrity photo leaks

The theft of several private celebrity photos wasn't caused by an iCloud security breach, Apple announced today, contrary to previous reports.


The Cupertino company said that after more than 40 hours of investigation, it determined "that certain celebrity accounts were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions."


Apple called this type of attack "a practice that has become all too common on the internet."


It concluded that none of photos were obtained through "any breach in any of Apple's systems including iCloud or Find my iPhone."
