wow this thread went all over the place...

Having personal information, assumed to be privately/securly stored being hacked and made available to the public is terrible -> I imagine everyone on the thread agrees to this.

Online security has been a risk since the beginning, and it slowly pokes its ugly head in every technology, storage mechanism, and interface possible.

It seems almost obvious to NOT store naked pictures of yourself, loved ones, ex's, etc, anywhere, since no where is really safe. the only way to do so, would be if you had a non-digital camera and a photo development room in your basement.

Not sure anyone is laying "blame" towards the victims here; no one has the right to have their personal things stolen and passed on to others without their full permission. However, think a general rule of thumb exists (or should exist) not to save/store, maybe even take, such images, unless you are ok with the possibility of a breach, as in htis day and age, it is an unfortunate reality (especially if you're a celebrity).
