iCloud

The recent leak of nude photos of celebrities caused by hacked iCloud accounts can be traced back to vulnerable passwords.

One theory is that the hacker or hackers was able to take down iCloud passwords of the celebrity victims and root around in their Apple storage lockers after they gained entry.

The hackers may have used a tool called iBrute to exploit an iCloud bug that led to a forced digital entry by guessing several common passwords until they got the correct one to unlock the front door.

Apple confirmed that iBrute was used. The tool used 500 of the most common passwords that were leaked from a service called RockYou.

It leaked about 32 million usernames and passwords way back in 2009.

iBrute revealed the passwords included one capital letter and one number.

These hacked celebrity accounts issue reminds smartphone users to use two-factor authentication on any account that offers it. Users need to use strong password to be safe.

Avoid using the passwords below.
