The easiest way to not get your images stolen is to not take them on your phone, that's not blaming, that's common sense and the knee jerk reaction is silly and misplaced. Who is to blame? Obviously the hackers so your accusations are false no matter how superior it makes you feel.

Holy hell, I'm going to see if I can make this simple for you. You seem to be arguing that these celebrities took an unnecessary risk for the purposes of entertainment/intimacy that ended with a negative result, therefore they are partially to blame. Do you realize how insane that sounds when applied to virtually every recreational activity in life? I was playing soccer a couple of months ago and ended up with a concussion, after getting elbowed in the head by some dirty, cheap, piece of crap. Now, to me it's obvious who is to blame here. However, by your logic, if I didn't want a concussion, I shouldn't have been playing soccer.
