it is a big jump to compare money in a bank to naked pics on a phone or server -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 08:21 19
- the pics weren't on their phones. -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 08:22 18
  - This is why I won't use the password keeper in the cloud. -- nm - pmb Sep 2, 08:37
  - until this happened, I had no idea photos from a phone went to the cloud. - Epiphany Sep 2, 08:24 16
    - Really? At least on Android, you set up what you want to go there. Music, photo, video, documents, texts. -- nm - Spawn Sep 2, 08:28
    - They don't automatically. It depends on your service and which boxes you check at setup. -- nm - David Sep 2, 08:25 1
      - right, nothing on my iPhone is synced through the cloud. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 08:26
    - right? -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 08:25 12
      - and, when my last phone died, and i lost everything *because* i didn't have auto-backup, everyone here was like 'why don't you have it - Andie Sep 2, 08:27 11
        
        You can manage the cloud. If you ever take something like that go in and remove it. -- nm - Spawn Sep 2, 08:29 10
        
        sure, but how many people know that? and, a few people said those pictures were old, did they know that 5 phones ago? -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 08:30 9
        
        if you're going to use a tool, doesn't it behoove you to learn how to use it in the most responsible manner? -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 08:31 8
        
        those settings change. - Mel Profit Sep 2, 08:37
        
        Don't blame the user. A lot of phones are ridiculous. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Sep 2, 08:33 1
        
        If theya re taking nude photos, they sure as hell should have looked into it. -- nm - Spawn Sep 2, 08:40
        
        oh, i guess i am a realist who understands that not every person understands in technical detail everything their phone does. -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 08:32 4
        
        That sounds like handing off responsibility. "I was ignorant, so I'm not at fault." - TWuG Sep 2, 08:35 3
        
        It's not as though companies providing these services try to make it simple though. -- nm - Roger More Sep 2, 08:39 2
        
        I was in mine last night. It is ultra simple. -- nm - Spawn Sep 2, 08:41 1
        
        But, Facebook. -- nm - Roger More Sep 2, 08:44
Money is fungible and theft from a bank is insured against. You'll get your money back. Once a nude pic is released, it's out there forever. - TWuG Sep 2, 08:20
that is miles and miles apart. There are security features in place for banks. - groiny Sep 2, 08:18 4
- they were photos hacked off a secure cloud server, weren't they? where do you think your banking info is? -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 08:18 3
  - Apparently not THAT secure... -- nm - Ender Sep 2, 08:26
  - banks have fraud prevention departments in place to deal with leaks / hacks. - groiny Sep 2, 08:21 1
    - problem is I expect many people - including a bunch of those celebs - don't realize their photos are out there on the cloud. - decline Sep 2, 08:24
