Eminye yale mifanekiso yapapashwa kwi-4chain kwaye ukusuka apho yasasazeka kwi-intanethi. Oko ekuqaleni kwabonakala ngathi kuyingxaki yokhuseleko lwe-iCloud, ekugqibeleni kwaboniswa ukuba ingxaki yayivela kubantu ngokwabo ababephulaphule i-imeyile yohlobo lobuqhetseba apho, bezenza njenge-Apple kunye noGoogle, bacela iiphasiwedi ze-iCloud ukuqinisekisa ukuba bangabo abanini elifanelekileyo.
Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo owokuqala umtyholwa ulivumile ityala wangena entolongweni. Owesibini wabamangalelwa uEdward Majerczyk ulivumile ityala njengabanye ababandakanyeka kwisikhalazo sika-2014 esibizwa ngokuba yiCelebgate.
