Again, you can't be blaming the victim with this "it's a matter of time!" nonsense. It's silly. It's akin to blaming a girl for getting raped because she walks alone. "Well gee, it wasn't an if, it was a when!" That's a no-go.
How does your post sound if you change it to something more damaging, but still an abuse of a vulnerable woman?
Kind of awful right? Still feel the same? You can justify it with "well it's not as bad as rape" if you want, but these are the personal pictures of people in a vulnerable, private state, taken from their personal computers without their permission. It's a pretty gross thing to blame the victim for.

NOPE, IN THE CASE OF RAPE WEARING PROMISCUIOUS CLOTHING HAS LITTLE IF ANY CORRELATION WITH BEING RAPED. IT IS NOT GOOD ADVICE TO SAY DONT DRESS PROVOCATIVELY TO PREVENT RAPE. GO SEE ANY OF THE RAPE THREADS TO LINKS TO STUDY's. WALKING ALONE HAS LITTLE CORRELATION TO BEING RAPED AS MOST RAPES ARE DONE BY PEOPLE KNOWN TO THE VICTIM
Hence that is victim blaming.
In this case there is a fool proof way not to have your pictures exposed and that is not to take them in the first place. So if the end result of pictures being put online is unacceptable to you then don't take the pictures.
One thing getting lost in this discussion is that the most important result of this is that none of these women should have this event affect their careers. The real problem in society is that this is a big deal that could harm careers or the perception of these women. Its the slut shaming aspect of this that is a problem not people saying well if you didn't want them to get out you shouldn't have taken them.
This whole situation is akin to the US government being surprised when information of their spy programs gets leaked. It was going to happen. Nothing is secret once it is in a computer.
