????蘋果公司（Apple）表示，黑客入侵多位好萊塢名人賬戶盜取裸照，并非由于iCloud或Find my iPhone等蘋果系統存在任何安全漏洞。

????在周一發表的聲明中，蘋果公司表示，公司獲悉名人照片被盜事件之后感到“非常憤怒”，并迅速召集公司工程師調查黑客是如何獲得訪問權限的。

????公司表示：“經過40多個小時的調查，我們發現，某些名人的賬戶遭到了針對用戶名稱、密碼和安全問題的定向攻擊，這種攻擊在整個互聯網上都已變得非常普遍。”

????據推測，黑客可能使用了“暴力破解”程序獲得對目標賬戶的訪問權。所謂“暴力破解”程序會以極快的速度猜測隨機密碼組合，直到找到正確的密碼。

????據報道稱，蘋果在周一對Find my iPhone進行了安全升級，以修補可能遭到暴力破解攻擊的漏洞。

????公司表示：“在我們調查的所有案例中，并無一例是由于任何蘋果系統的漏洞而招致黑客入侵的。”但蘋果并未直接提及暴力破解攻擊。

????蘋果表示，將繼續配合執法部門，協助找到與此事件有關的不法分子。（財富中文網）

????The hack that resulted in stolen nude images from multiple celebrity accounts was not a result of security breaches in Apple’s systems, including iCloud or Find my iPhone, according to Apple.

????Apple AAPL 0.78% was “outraged” when it learned of the theft and immediately mobilized the company’s engineers to discover exactly how the hackers gained access, the company said in a statement Monday.

????“After more than 40 hours of investigation,” the company said. “We have discovered that certain celebrity accounts were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions, a practice that has become all too common on the Internet.”

????There was speculation that “brute-force” programs, which run through random password guesses at rapid speed until it gets a match, were used to gain access to the targeted accounts.

????Apple reportedly rolled out a security update for Find my iPhone on Monday in order to patch-up a hole that could be vulnerable to brute-force attacks.

????“None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple’s systems,” the company said, though it didn’t refer directly to the brute-force tactic.

????Apple said it is continuing to work with law enforcement to help identify the criminals involved.
