One caveat apple should have restricted the use of brute force attacks on the "Find my phone" function when it was first implemented (as that was considered a potential source of the photos early on), but that now seems unrelated to the leaks.

So what everyone should (re)learn from this is never enter your password on a page you were directed to via email or text.
I also have nude photos of Targan and Kato13 if anyone is brave enough to want them.
