The Fappening has reached hilarious heights of drama, and the only thing I can feel is schadenfreude (I'm not surprised that there is no other word for this in English).

In a perfect world, this would lead people to take better care of their cybersecurity and most especially trust less in cloud services - never mind ignorant individuals, but I cannot imagine which kind of company (or even worse, government office) would ever agree to keep work-related files with genuinely sensitive information in a cloud storage somewhere in the public intarwebz... no wait, there are far too many organizations doing exactly that. Also, even in an adequate, far from perfect world, Apple would not have had its password retrieval function available in a form that allows bruteforcing the accounts online (reportedly "Find my iPhone" allowed infinite retries with no delay or lockout for answering the security question) even long after an exploitation toolkit for this was available in the dark corners of the web for script kiddies to play with.
Gee, Apple just announced that with such potent safeguards in place, iDevices will in the near future be able to be used for financial transactions too, and the markets rewarded this neglect with a slight increase in stock price. Talk about rational investors...

However, the reactions of the victims (or rather, their legal teams) are borderline hilarious. EDIT: enough of beating the beaten, rant removed.

Oh, and another proof of the magic of makeup, filters, camera settings, and studio lighting: in regular photos even film stars look rather ordinary. Kirsten Dunst however looked actually better than in her movies, which proves the point that often the "natural" look is better than warpaint.
