新华网9月3日电 据美国科技博客Gizmodo报道，苹果公司已经承认是用户账户的安全漏洞导致了大量明星裸照的泄露。但是，该公司否认此漏洞与iCloud有关。如果你是裸照被到处传播的明星，一定不想听到这样的“好消息”。
苹果公司的声明称， iCloud服务器没有被入侵。而是明星账户，被听起来像是社会工程学和“暴力”的组合，有针对性地进行了“攻击”（也就是说，黑客通过猜测和尝试庞大数量的用户名、密码和安全问题的组合来获得对账户的访问权限）。这基本上算是一个好消息，因为 iCloud或“查找我的iPhone”中若存在漏洞，意味着每一个人的隐私都有被侵犯的风险。但对明星来说，就不是什么值得庆幸的事了，除非你对自己的账户设置了双重验证。
这次事件让苹果公司的发展显得尴尬，不仅由于安全漏洞本身的存在，还因为苹果预计在下周推出一款可穿戴设备，其大量数据都需要储存在 iCloud中。如果用户认为把照片存放于应用程序中已不再安全，怕是很难看到这款新品会拥有好的销售前景了。

has acknowledged that a security breach of user accounts resulted in a number of celebrity nude photos being leaked. But! The company denies that it had anything to do with iCloud. That"s good news for you, and troubling to hear if you"re a celeb with undiscovered nudes floating around.
"s statement, says that iCloud servers were not compromised. Instead, celeb accounts were specifically targeted using what sounds like a combination of social engineering and brute force (which is to say, hackers guessed at and/or ran through a huge combination of user names, passwords, and security questions to gain access). This is basically good news, since an exploit in iCloud or Find My iPhone would mean that everyone is vulnerable. And bad news if you"re a celeb, unless you happen to have two-factor verificationenabled on iCloud.
It"s a potentially embarrassing development for , not only because of the security breach itself but also because
has a big week next week at which it"s expected to introduce a wearable device that would put ample amounts of health data in the cloud. If people don"t feel safe keeping their photos with App, it"s hard to see how they would with delicate biometric information.
