Somehow the titans of Silicon Valley have managed to avoid some of the risqué scandals inherent in being a Hollywood celebrity so when those two worlds did collide – it was quite an outrage. In early September 2014, the media (including entertainment, technology and business) all reported that nude celebrity photos, allegedly from an Apple online service called iCloud, appeared much to the amusement of many – even Twitter.
The Wall Street Journal said, “…reports…suggested hackers accessed the photos through Apple’s iCloud system but Apple has denied that its online system had been breached.” Over the past few weeks, the Wall Street Journal said that people’s love for the Apple brand diminished a bit but because the proof of Apple’s involvement is scarce, Apple’s beloved reputation is still in-tact.
