Yes and no. You can still limit what you put in the cloud, and what information is available to people trying to extract things. Simply logging onto a message board does not automatically upload all of your personal data onto the all-powerful nebulous Cloud.
Text messages are one that are often cited as being dangerous, but it is also one "cloud" based data source that is very hard to to get at, mainly simply due to extreme volume. Most texts with pics that get out there become public due to being passed around, or from individual phones being hacked, not from a cloud source. Also, if you turn off syncing with your phone to your online accounts you can limit what gets out there from your private pictures and other data.
My bet is many of these celebrities didn't even realize they were syncing all of their pictures with Apple's iCloud since it seems like it is an automatic and standard thing when setting up an iPhone. In fact it is innocuous enough that at my work when they issued me my iPhone they had in really large type on the setup instructions to NOT setup syncing on the phone to protect company data, since the iPhone will sync EVERYTHING including emails and all pictures, texts, documents, etc. And it all happens automatically, so the vast majority of iPhone users probably don't even know it is happening.
Kind of like saying if you wear a lowcut shirt or a short skirt that you deserve to get raped.

So, you believe there is no such thing as online privacy? The consequence is that anything the government finds on line is public, and fair game for them to use. You OK with that?
I responded to your bold assumption that anyone who views porn, is without a conscience. You didn't say that exactly, but that is how I read it. After rereading it, it looks like you were saying that people who want to see these hacked images are the ones without the conscience, to which I also disagree. Lower morals, perhaps, but that's about it. As far as people "secretly viewing me naked", I would have a problem with that -- unless I was dumb enough to be a celebrity and have sex tapes/photos floating around on my phone or device. In that instance, I'd say go ahead and get an eyeful, folks; view at your own risk.
Porn is something done by people choosing to display themselves. These particular photos were stolen, not shared nor sold.
I agree it was an exaggeration on my part.
Victim-blaming. I agree celebrities should expect that their public lives will be altered. They should be allowed to have private lives, and seeking out violations of this privacy only encourages the violators.

I looked at some supposedly hot photos but only felt bad for the ones after seeing their privacy got taken away from them. Terrible feeling.
Yes, it is, but this is like feeling bad for the Westboro Baptists when someone punches them in the face when they're picketing a funeral. Want to be famous? Prepare yourself to be punched in the face and/or cooter.
I haven't looked for them, nor do I care to because I don't even recognize the names of most of the people hacked. I've still never seen the Paris Hilton video. That kind of crap just doesn't do it for me. Now, if there happened to be some Jessica Alba photos out there...
