Yeah, it turns out that just acknowledging someone is enough to "extract" them. You don't have to pretend to be from a utility or be an employee from a different location who forgot his keycard or anything.
How about, lock up the guy who hacked/leaked the photos... but also don't send pictures of your secret bits to other people, or if you do... understand the risk. It's the internet, nothing is private, security isn't secure, it's just levels of deterrence. If someone wants something on the internet or connected to it bad enough... they'll get it.
How about focusing on the security issue and giving the specific content involved in this case a fuckin' rest. No one says, "just don't use your bank's account-services app — it's the Internet, nothing is private."
I misspoke. Some people do say that. But by now pretty much no one cares, because the bank's account-services app is something they really want to use, and the bank is doing what it can not to fuck it up for everyone.
Also, isn't it clear that in this case specific celebrities were targeted? So this is a stalking/harassment case, not an "it's the Internet, nothing is private" case.
