How many nude selfies do you have on your smart phone?

[raleighnut]

Just as well or you'd be off her Xmas card list and the Xmas cards have got the risque pictures on.

Never post anything to the internet that you wish to remain private.

The other real issue is why the security system of the Apple Cloud was so crap and why Apple don't make it clear that dual level access approval is possible on many of their systems.

I don't think it was just the iCloud, I think these are photos that have been collected by multiple hackers over the years and they are just being released now.

These were on Reddit as TheFappening!!! Quite a catchy name for it I thought lol

Nearest I got to a selfie is taking a picture of my foot to try out the camera.

 

[albion]

None.

But I do have my head in the clouds.

With respect, Reg, that's pretty useless advice. I'm working from home today, connecting to the office over a vpn: should I avoid sending my colleagues any email because my connection to our email server goes over the internet? If I send my boss an email and our secure VPN subsequently turns out to be less secure than we thought it was, are we to blame when someone hacks in and downloads our corporate secrets?

I mean, there's negligence and there's paranoia and somewhere in the middle there's reasonable expectation of privacy, but I think it's unrealistic to suggest that because your packets went over someone else's network automatically makes it your own fault if they end up somewhere you weren't expecting. Do you shop online?

I'm not sure blame is the issue here...once your sex tapes are being played all over the world the damage is done.....if you want to be certain of avoiding such fun then don't even take the chance of uploading it to the net. If you do then you need to accept a reasonable risk that you privacy may not be guaranteed. Like I said it's not about blame, it's just about risk. If you want 0% risk then dont upload. If you can accept a degree of risk then hey ho let it all hang out.

Not quite the same, VPN is just tunnelling through the internet not uploading to the internet.
If you upload anything to the internet you've lost control of it.

What BSRU said.

The idea of a VPN is to make a system which detaches your data from the internet when travelling through it. Neither of the computers connected need to be accessible via the internet, in fact most cases nether computer can be reached directly via the internet. Data in the VPN is not uploaded or stored on a service accessible by the internet.

Services such as the iCloud are trying to be the opposite, they're trying to be omni-present so your data is accessible anywhere & everywhere. Upload data to a web server & the same applies, it'll most likely get cached & re-cached, making it almost impossible to remove from existence once published.

With the information age culture we've become comfortable having information which is 1 or 2 steps away from being in the public domain. This makes it easy for someone to get hold of personal & private information (in this case images) as the number of obstacle between them & the target data is quite low.

I may have some nude selfies. Do these qualify?

Meat and two veg

Point of order; that's more than two veg, and what the **** sort of meat is that!?

Meat and two veg

Couple of melons

You seem over-endowed in the veggie department.
Edit: scalped by TBM!

Technology-wise, I'm stuck in the past. I'm still sitting on the Xerox machine, taking photocopies of my bum and giggling at the naughtiness. Distribution is by Royal Mail.

{ very large SAE please }

I recall blinding myself for about 5 minutes when I tried to photocopy my face once.

 

[byegad]

My phone isn't insured so I have no selfies, let alone nudies!

 

[stephec]

None - but I do have some that are tastefully risqué! (that was about 8 years ago)
I wouldn't do it now

Bet you wouldn't dare post them on here?

 

[wait4me]

None! The reminder every time I shower or whatever is bad enough. I don't want another view of it from my phone (that's assuming it would zoom in enough)
