Security and Privacy concerns were always termed as major challenges for the perpetuation of cloud storage and cloud computing businesses. iCloud which is pioneered by Apple Inc.， was recently cracked by a hacker. Earlier， it was revealed that a hacking group was behind this whole 1）cyber crime activity. But now， as per the latest reports suggested by an online resource 2）CBS， a hacker has broken into the iCloud system and 3）siphoned off private photos of actresses， which are now being 4）slobbered over on social media by 5）lascivious celebrity stalkers.

The iCloud hacker has posted unclothed photos of 100s of Hollywood celebrities that were claimed to have come from their iCloud accounts using iCloud security vulnerability. Victims of the hacking include stars like Jennifer Lawrence， Kate Upton， Kirsten Dunst， Miley Cyrus， Mary Elizabeth Winstead， Kim Kardarshian and sisters， Coco Austin， Paris Hilton， Heidi Klum， Britney Spears， Rihanna， Beyoncé， and the list goes on…

Apple did not respond to this iCloud leak saga immediately， but some of the exposed actresses were outraged. Representatives of one star， Jennifer Lawrence， told CBS that the leakage was a flagrant violation of privacy， while another actress’ representative denied the images were of her client.

One celebrity Mary Elizabeth Winstead reacted to the news and said that she had deleted all those images from her PC and the cloud long before. And is now shocked how iCloud can archive all those deleted images still and save them in its database. She wants to hear the purpose of such data storage practices followed by iCloud.

This episode gave fresh ammo to privacy advocates who have warned that nothing can stay secure online and no matter how vigilant you are， they still spill out when the time comes.

It also gives us a clear understanding that it is not just individuals who have to worry about cloud computing security. Many corporations and businesses have moved onto the IP Storage platform recently， and they also have to start showing a bit of concern for adopting this $20 billion industry that is growing at more than 50% annually.

It makes you wonder how much truth exists in this recent revelation against the Apple iCloud Saga. But one thing is proven， and that is to be more careful when uploading content to the public cloud.

安全與隱私的擔(dān)憂一直都是云存儲(chǔ)與云計(jì)算行業(yè)的最大挑戰(zhàn)。iCloud是由蘋果公司所提供的云存儲(chǔ)和云計(jì)算服務(wù)，最近因?yàn)楹诳腿肭侄罎⒘?。早些時(shí)候，有報(bào)道指出是一個(gè)黑客團(tuán)體操縱了這起網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪活動(dòng)。但是現(xiàn)在，據(jù)最新的網(wǎng)上哥倫比亞廣播公司報(bào)道顯示，一名黑客非法侵入了iCloud系統(tǒng)，竊取多位女演員的私密照片，現(xiàn)在這些照片正在社交媒體上被好色的名人追蹤者垂涎窺視。

侵入iCloud的黑客曝光了一百多名好萊塢名人的脫衣照，聲稱來源于她們的iCloud賬號(hào)，利用的是iCloud的安全漏洞。這次黑客事件的受害者包括詹妮弗·勞倫斯、凱特·阿普頓、克里斯汀·鄧斯特、麥莉·賽勒斯、瑪麗·伊麗莎白·文斯蒂德、金·卡戴珊及其姐妹、可可·奧斯汀、帕麗斯·希爾頓、海蒂·克魯姆、布蘭妮·斯皮爾斯、蕾哈娜、碧昂斯，不勝枚舉。

蘋果公司對(duì)于這起iCloud泄密事件沒有立即作出回應(yīng)，但是其中一些遭泄密女星則出離憤怒。其中的代表，詹妮弗·勞倫斯向CBS表示，這起泄密事件是對(duì)隱私的公然侵犯，而另一位女演員的經(jīng)紀(jì)公司則否認(rèn)這些艷照主角為旗下藝人。

一位名人——瑪麗·伊麗莎白·文斯蒂德對(duì)此回應(yīng)說，自己很早前就已經(jīng)從電腦和云端上刪除了那些照片，如今深感震驚，因?yàn)閕Cloud竟然還保留著所有的已刪照片并且保存于其數(shù)據(jù)庫當(dāng)中。她想要聽聽iCloud實(shí)行這種數(shù)據(jù)保存制度的原因。

這個(gè)插曲給隱私捍衛(wèi)者又一有力論據(jù)：他們發(fā)出過警告說在網(wǎng)上沒有任何事物是安全的，無論你多警惕，時(shí)機(jī)一到，隱私依然會(huì)四處擴(kuò)散。

這件事也讓我們清晰地了解到不僅僅是個(gè)人需要擔(dān)心云計(jì)算的安全問題。許多企業(yè)和商戶最近已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)向IP存儲(chǔ)平臺(tái)，他們同樣也對(duì)于采用這個(gè)價(jià)值200億美元的產(chǎn)業(yè)開始顯示出一絲擔(dān)憂——該產(chǎn)業(yè)每年以超過50%的增長(zhǎng)率迅速發(fā)展。

你可能好奇，想知道最近這起蘋果iCloud泄密事件背后有多少真真假假。但有一件事得以驗(yàn)證，那就是：當(dāng)你往公眾云端上傳內(nèi)容時(shí)，必須更加小心謹(jǐn)慎。
