Private photos of Emma Watson have been stolen and posted online. The photos that were hacked came from a fitting Emma had done years earlier with a stylist. While the photos were not nude, they were extremely revealing.
These photos, according to an article on fossbytes.com by Adarsh Verma, were posted on forums such as 4Chan and Reddit. Verma continues to explain that it is difficult to completely take pictures off sites like these. It is rumored that the hacker was able to gain un-authorized access to the celebrity’s private iCloud and Gmail accounts.
Hacking of private information is taken extremely seriously by authorities. Those caught for such crimes not only will face jail time, but they can be sued and suffer financial penalties as well. The information that hackers receive is private for a reason. If one chooses to break into private accounts in order to steal private information, they will be penalized.
It is terrifying to know that there are people like this out there. The best way to ensure that a situation like Emma Watson’s doesn’t happen to you is to take precautions.
Creating secure passwords, and changing them regularly, is a great way to keep hackers out. If you want to make sure that your network is secure, Titan is a great option. It is the only intrusion prevention system that protects your network from the outside, which stops hackers from getting in.
In addition, firewalls present a door for hackers to focus that allows for possible hackings. Titan, on the other hand, does not have a door. Therefore, it cannot be detected by hackers — but still monitors and logs all incoming traffic and makes sure not to let any suspicious activity through.
Titan is placed in front of your firewall so that it can block any attacks BEFORE they reach the firewall. Don’t get us wrong, firewalls are extremely important. Titan works in conjunction with your firewall to strengthen your cyber security.
