THE FAPPENING (9/11 for Celebrity Privacy) (NSFW) (Obviously) ITT: NO TITTIES

[Rasix]

I didn't know who some of the actresses are because I live in a pop culture bubble called "parent of young child". 

They still managed some awesome heavy hitters. 

[angry.bob]

Oh FFS, the sole purpose of 4chan is not copyright violation.

So the primary purpose of 4chan is to post public domain and images that are posted with the permission of their copyright holders?

This explains why you're always so eager to just assume the worst and believe whatever people say about the place. You've never even gone there, have you? There's no point in lying and saying you have because it's really fucking obvious you haven't. Seriously, someone who's visited even just once would know it. I should have known since you always seem to be a part of "that" group, I thought you had more sense than to fall for their bullshit.

[Pagz]

That's pretty questionable. Why don't we have a Jennifer Lawrence thread instead of that shit Katy Perry thread?

Because Katy Perry is hotter then Jennifer Lawrence, which is true because of said threads existence and no dumb Jennifer Lawrence thread.

Also why are people arguing and not directing me to where the fuck these Kaley Cuoco fappenings are?

[angry.bob]

Aren't the Ariana Grande photos some of the more obvious fakes? Or is she just impossible to recognize without that stupid hairdo.

Some look fake, but some of the others match her shape, skintone, and have the same woven wristband she's tweeted picks with. Those don't show her face but the wristband thing makes it a pretty sure thing. It's understandable why she and Victoria Justice would deny it, they're kids stars. The Victoria Justice ones are definitely her though.

I didn't know who some of the actresses are because I live in a pop culture bubble called "parent of young child". 

If your child is old enough to be watching tween shows you'll recognize them.

If you look at her pictures they are really really bad quality compared to the other ones, they might actually be recovered deleted pictures and not from some trading club.

The grainy yellowed B&W ones look like they were run through one of those photo editor apps to look that way. There is at least one really hi res pic of her too though.

You'd be really disappointed. There's one photo of her naked, but she's sitting down on the other side of a kitchen counter and stuff covers everything but her face and one arm. The other is a gif of omene walking around a corner in an apartment as she's standing up from the toilet and pulling her pants up. She looks at the camera all confused for a sec and then laughs.

I'd post a link but I don't want to do it without Schild or Trippy saying it's okay.

[Pagz]

[schild]

Don't link that stuff. The Cuoco stuff does, in fact, suck thus far.

[Paelos]

Also I just don't watch any TV

I used to be like this. TV has changed a ton in the last 10 years. There's actually more quality entertainment on the TV side than the movie side by far. The production values have caught up.

[schild]

@menongitis deserves an award.

[Cyrrex]

I can understand not knowing who Kaley Cuoco is, but Jennifer Lawrence?  It's almost impossible to navigate the internet without seeing her name almost ever day.

[Tmon]

I recognized the name, but since I've never watched any of the movies she's in I had no clear idea what she looked like. 

[Pagz]

I feel like most of these celebrities are like the users in Politics, unless you're in there all the time you have no idea how these people got so many posts.

[01101010]

No idea how you people avoid the deluge of celebrity news. It is more popular than the regular news stories judging by how many stories they run on celebs vs regular news stories. E! and TMZ didn't just spring up for no reason... but hey, shine on you crazy diamonds.

[penfold]

First of all, I would like to thank the internet for this.  And ask if they take requests.

Second, I was....checking the Kate Upton photos.  I mean, she's a photo model and wants us to look at them, so I thought I'd be nice.  Anyway, I assume many if not all of these are taken from either her phone or Verlander's?  Because he has a bunch of other girl pics mixed in.  He got some splaining to do.  Doubly so if any of what I saw is chronological (though there is no reason to think so).

Also Kate Upton, no photoshop, and she hasnt been cutting before a shoot and is probably her natural weight. Which is miles preferable over shopped skinny Kate.

Preferable regarding what?

Testicular extractions.

Frankly, I'm shocked that so many of you nerds haven't seen X-Men: First Class.  That was an excellent movie.

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.

[Paelos]

We here at Apple just wanted to inform you, this is all your fault. 

[Rendakor]

JLaw just looks very generic. I saw her in Hunger Games but she's just another skinny starlet that I've seen hundreds of times. I had however not heard the nickname JLaw until this mess.

[01101010]

This thread is making me feel very scared of some of you... 

[Yegolev]

Amusing parts so far:
1. Files being hard to get rid of in any IT enterprise
2. Deleting a file making it appear low quality

[Samwise]

2. Deleting a file making it appear low quality

Yes, this was my favorite.

It's like when you throw something in the trash and it gets garbage spilled on it, or something.  Right?

[Yegolev]

Icon looks like a trash can.

Makayla Maroney is claiming she was underage when her pics were taken, which is probably since she just turned 18 in December.

My brain immediately did that.  My brain made me laugh.

[Merusk]

One of the actresses claimed that she deleted the photos a while ago and they were posted anyway.  So if she's not lying to cover her ass, then Apple stores even your deleted photos on a relatively insecure server somewhere.

That's Mary Elizabeth Winstead, she said she deleted them years ago. I'm not sure how long the iCloud backup thing has been around but she's one of the reasons I think the trading group theory holds more water. If that's the case I doubt anyone is going to jail or get in much trouble.

Her photos are all washed-out (overexposed) and yellowed. I'd bet they are made from a old negative or a copy of a negative from a negative.  I had some photos that were accidentally on slide film 25  years ago and they looked very similarly washed-out and overexposed when getting prints. The developing place said that it was because of the process required to make a neg. & print from a slide.

[Trippy]

Or she applied an Instagram filter.

For that old fashioned retro look to all your 'dick in face' pictures.

At least I'm not the only one.

[Samwise]

The general reactions to this thing are fascinating -- how long has it been since the last incident like this?  I mean, the scale is huge, but people are acting like the entire concept of guys wanting to see boobies is new and strange to them.  This shit's been happening since the invention of photography.

[Malakili]

It's not strange for that reason.  It's strange because there are unlimited amounts of free boobies already on the internet if that's what you're looking for.

My grandfather would have trampled an entire army of whores to get pictures like that of Audrey Hepburn.

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.

I am sort of not suprised. This is a bit older (2011), but a collection of various leaked user-accounts/password showed that:


    4.7% of users have the password password;
    8.5% have the passwords password or 123456;
    9.8% have the passwords password, 123456 or 12345678;
    14% have a password from the top 10 passwords
    40% have a password from the top 100 passwords
    79% have a password from the top 500 passwords
    91% have a password from the top 1000 passwords

What makes me cry is not "password" or "123456", but the ones most popular ones after that.  

password
123456
12345678
1234
qwerty
12345
dragon
pussy
baseball
football
