Apple Tightens iCloud Security After Naked Celebrity Photo Leak

Promises to be more alert for suspicious activity

Apple is implementing more robust iCloud security protocols after a massive breach of celebrities’ accounts—and leak of private nude photos—revealed some weaknesses in the photo-storing service.

CEO Tim Cook revealed the new measures in an interview with The Wall Street Journal about last weekend’s leak, which affected stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton who found their private photo collections posted all over the Internet.
