Hier soir, Apple a publié un communiqué de presse nous informant qu’il n’y a pas eu de faille aussi bien sur iCloud que son service Localiser mon iPhone. Il fait à l’affaire des photos volées de plusieurs célébrités hollywoodiennes sur lesquelles on pouvait les voir totalement nues.

Voici le communiqué d’Apple :

« Update to Celebrity Photo Investigation

We wanted to provide an update to our investigation into the theft of photos of certain celebrities. When we learned of the theft, we were outraged and immediately mobilized Apple’s engineers to discover the source. Our customers’ privacy and security are of utmost importance to us. After more than 40 hours of investigation, we have discovered that certain celebrity accounts were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions, a practice that has become all too common on the Internet. None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple’s systems including iCloud® or Find my iPhone. We are continuing to work with law enforcement to help identify the criminals involved.

To protect against this type of attack, we advise all users to always use a strong password and enable two-step verification. Both of these are addressed on our website at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4232. »

Il permet à Apple de se disculper de tout problème venant de chez eux – visiblement, il vient d’ailleurs mais où – la question reste entière pour le moment. Le FBI a aussi lancé une enquête – elle devrait permettre de retrouver les pirates derrière ce vol.
