Following the very public leaks of private intimate photos of celebrities, many of whom are also iPhone owners, some security experts say Apple may have made it too easy for thrill-seekers to guess celebrities' usernames and then "restore" backed-up photos to their own iPhones. That's just one reason many people are worried.

Для похищения iPhone-фото обнаженных селебритиз почти наверное использовался российский программный продукт Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker (EPPB). Из-за этого компания Elcomsoft, ранее неоднократно попадавшая в скандальные истории – но всегда, надо отдать ей должное, выходившая из них без потерь для репутации, – снова оказалась в привычном положении. Т.е. в эпицентре скандала.

The major leak of nude celebrity photos last weekend was made possible by software designed to let law enforcement lift data from iPhones with ease. The software is used in tandem with a tool made public recently that can crack Apple iCloud passwords.

Phone Password Breaker von Elcomsoft an sich ist aber nicht illegal. Die Anwendung gibt es bereits seit zwei Jahren und nutzt keine Schwachstelle in Apples Angebot aus. Apple überträgt und speichert iCloud-Daten verschlüsselt. Die eigentliche Angriffsfläche ist der reine Schutz mit Apple-ID und Passwort ohne Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung. Die Windows-Software iCloud Control Panel erfordert ebenfalls keine Zweistufige Bestätigung.

Журнал Wired, специализирующийся на вопросах хай-тек технологий, пишет, что на сайтах хакеров упоминается программа российской компании ElcomSoft, которая якобы позволяет пользователям проникнуть к данным в iCloud. Программа, которая продается на международном рынке службам охраны порядка, якобы может предоставить доступ к информации в iCloud в обход iPhone или iPad человека, которому принадлежит информация в «облаке».

There’s a seedy trade in compromising photos stored in Apple iCloud accounts, and it is in part aided by a software program that cleanly collects the data. Some of the nude celebrity photos are believed to have first been circulated on Anon-IB, a definitely not safe-for-work forum. As reported by Wired, the forum is full of offers for iCloud “ripping,” or downloading the entire contents of an account.

In den “Medien”, zu denen Macnotes selbst gehört, wurde reichlich über die Veröffentlichung von Nacktbildern von Stars wie Jennifer Lawrence berichtet. Die Hintergründe dazu sind vielschichtig: Es tauchen Namen von Tools und Software auf, wie iBrute oder Elcomsofts Phone Password Breaker, das eigentlich von IT-Forensikern für die Polizei entwickelt wurde. Es zeigt sich, dass Apples iCloud nicht optimal gesichert ist, und der Hersteller aus Cupertino das schon einige Zeit hätte wissen können. Zudem kommen “Normalsterbliche” in dieser Situation mit “der Szene” in Kontakt, die normalerweise in Zirkeln wie Anon IB für sich sein wollte.

The software is called Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker (EPPB) and is developed by Elcomsoft, a Russian company specializing in computer forensics. As Wired first reported, ElcomSoft's name first popped up on web forum Anon-IB, where hackers claim to have used the EPPB software– which allows you to retrieve iCloud Backups with a user's original credentials– to extract nude photos from other people's iCloud accounts. According to Business Insider, it was this software that was responsible for stealing iCloud data from celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst, and Kate Upton.

Technology magazine Wired first reported that software from a Russian firm, ElcomSoft, was being mentioned on a hackers discussion group as a useful tool for infiltrating iCloud accounts. The program, marketed to law enforcement agencies, claims to offer access to iCloud content without the operator needing to be in possession of the iPhone or iPad concerned.

Once they gain access to an Apple account, some are using the login and password to ‘restore’ an iCloud backup using an application by Elcomsoft called the Phone Password Breaker — exporting data including photos and more to a folder which they can then sift through.
