Consent. By putting pictures up in a password protected, encrypted online vault, you believe that is them giving you permission to take the files from them.

Or are you just a troll? Methinks you're just a garden troll.

I said in a way, but I know that's not technically consent, so I probably shouldn't have put it exactly like that, but what I meant is that it's like these people are begging to have their pictures leaked. They could choose to be a million times safer with it but decide not to think it through. It's like if you're a rich white guy who decides to take a walk through the hood showing off your nice watch. You're basically saying, please take my watch.

Except it's not like that at all. It's like putting your money in a bank and expecting the bank to keep your money safe. But one time when you go to the bank, someone dressed like a teller is behind the counter and instead of taking your debit card to perform a transaction, he steals your information without your knowledge and then has access to your account.

iCloud is not unsecure. It is reasonable to expect that your data is safe. Directed attacks on people are usually accomplished with credential stuffing and phishing, which is not breaching the security of iCloud, or a nerd sitting behind a computer looking for a back door. It is someone literally acquiring credentials from another website (Like the Linkedin breach) and using them to log in to your iCloud like they were you. Either that or tricking you into giving those credentials to them. No hacking involved.
