Did The Victims Of The Nude Photo Hack Fall For One Of The Oldest Cybercrime Tricks?
A new report claims Kate Upton, Jennifer Lawrence and several other celebrities might have fell for the oldest trick in the book. FBI investigators are now wondering if an email phishing scam is to blame for the leaked photos.
As we all know, it was first reported that an iCloud hack was to blame, but Apple released a statement a few days ago saying none of its systems were breached. This is why investigators are now trying to determine if a sophisticated phishing scam is to blame.
How would this scam work? Well, it’s pretty simple. There is a decent chance you have been targeted with a phishing scam. What happens is you receive an email warning you that there is a problem with your account. To fix the problem, you must reset your password. It’s clear this scam was a targeted attack, so investigators believe the scammers stepped up their game, making the email look 100% legit.
[more…]This is just the latest report. There could be a completely different story coming out tomorrow. It seems hard to believe all these celebrities would fall for a fake email.
Anyway, we will not be showing any of the photos on this site. We are proud supporters of naked celebrity photos (see the latest Kim Kardashian post) but only if the celebrity is the one sharing the photos.
People complain all the time about the government spying on them and invading their privacy, but then when something like this happens, they don’t give a f–k about privacy. They spread the photos around the internet and even blame the celebrities who took the photos!
Seems pretty silly to me.
