And no, it is not Apple.
This is something that we had all been clear about for a long time and is that the culprit for the leakage of compromised photographs through iCloud in 2014 was not the Apple company. In those days everyone directly pointed out the low security of the Cupertino company's cloud service but now it is confirmed with the statement of Edward Majerczyk and his partner Rya Collins 36-year-old from Lancaster, who has already signed a plea agreement accepting guilt for breaking the US Fraud and Abuse Act (CAFA).
The two computer hackers who they were in charge of filtering all those images and that they have pleaded guilty to the leak according to the FBI.
Apparently and according to the statements of the head of the FBI, Deirdre Fike, Majerczyk is also guilty of the leak of each and every one of the photos that were seen on the network and caused such a stir. Thus He is charged with a sentence of up to five years in prison. According to the statement, they used phishing (identity theft) to obtain the celebrities' data and then used it to publish all those personal photos.
Now, and despite the fact that there is no clear proof that they are guilty of posting the images on the network of the famous #Celebgate case despite having declared guilt themselves, they face the possibility of going to prison.
But this is business as usual and for that we recommend common sense to users regarding the possibility of receiving a fishing attack or any other type of attack from third parties. The important thing is to take care of our passwords with the options that we have available today and obviously using all of them responsibly.
