Another strike against cloud ERP... http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/leaks-of-nude-celebrity-photos-raise-concerns-about-security-of-the-cloud/2014/09/01/59dcd37e-3219-11e4-8f02-03c644b2d7d0_story.html

It outlines the weakness of the password system as a whole and the need for two factor authentication across all of your accounts. Two factor is no longer optional.

How do you use two factor when your phone is the device that is supposed to automatically upload and access photos. Are you supposed to wait for and enter a text message into a password field every time you want to browse photos on your phone that are in the cloud?

No - however with Apple anytime you attach your Apple account to a new device it requires two factor - which is a single user number. With Google when you setup an Android device it will prompt you for the second factor (provided you have it enabled on your account) and Google also has Google Authenticator which is an optional way to create the code for you on the fly. I believe in most non-hard cord corporate or government espionage type cases that the above solves these problems. What happened with these pictures is someone got the password - most likely through brute force (and 2nd factor not required) then they connected another computer to the account and sync'd the photos. The end user would probably never know.

People, let's focus on what matters most. Where's the link to the pics?

I have them but they are very NSFW, so message me and I'll forward. Mark I'll send yours now

I was just kidding, but wow, that PM showed up 2 seconds after my post!

It was fresh in his browser.

Friend forwarded it to me last night :)
