My $0.02

The push happens automatically on Apple equipment (unless you turn it off). I am pretty sure that most people were unaware of that function. So I don't blame the celebs for that part.

They did fall for phishing techniques which puts the blame on them a bit, but while I respect the hackers for being somewhat creative, it really was not any an exploitation of a weakness in security at the apple or cloud level. Just a simple manipulation of human nature.

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.

We're sure having a lot of fun at the expense of BT's dearly departed email account!

Paul, my problem seems to be solved. For some days I got MailerDemon-Mails, informing about e-mails, that could not be send to persons, I never e-mailed in my life. So, it seems everything is allright again.

And for the fun you have: I watch in a mixture of amazement and utter disgust (Targan in tutu ... Meh, not certain, if this would cause more problems for me ...)

Take care, guys!

Hey, I'd pay to see Targan in a Tutu (But I only have $15USD left in my pocket...)

Your lucky day... someone started a Kickstarter fund and raised $.11 so your wish comes true.

You can't pretend to have worked hard to obtain mine. I've distributed them widely. My junkyard is a wonderland. If anyone is interested in having a look, just do an image search for "Warning, may contain traces of nuts"
